HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lobelia by Herbal Terra
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: certified organic Lobelia (Lobelia inflata) as a dried herb liquid extract. Lobelia has been used traditionally for respiratory and smoking-related purposes, though the evidence supporting those uses is limited.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold shows lobelia as possibly ineffective for smoking cessation. Beyond that, we don't have effectiveness ratings on file for other claimed uses of this product.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lobelia carries real safety concerns and is not well tolerated at higher doses. Even at doses as low as 50 mg, people have reported nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation.
At 600 mg or higher, lobelia can cause toxicity — sweating, rapid heartbeat, very low blood pressure, convulsions, dangerously low body temperature, and in severe cases, death. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding due to toxicity risks and lack of safety data.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take lithium (a mood stabilizer), check with your pharmacist before using this product — lobelia may raise lithium levels and require a dose adjustment.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Lobelia is not a well-studied supplement and carries real toxicity risks, especially at higher doses. If you take lithium, you should check with your pharmacist or doctor before using this product.
Pregnant people and those nursing should avoid it altogether. Talk to your pharmacist about whether this is right for your situation.
