What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: organic fresh lobelia, a plant extract in liquid form. The liquid base includes grain alcohol and deionized water.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Lobelia product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lobelia's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

Lobelia is rated possibly ineffective for smoking cessation. That's the only effectiveness claim in our data for this ingredient.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lobelia

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lobelia can be toxic, especially at higher doses, so caution is strongly advised. At doses as low as 50 mg, it can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation.

At 600 mg or higher, toxicity becomes a real risk — symptoms include sweating, rapid heartbeat, convulsions, dangerously low body temperature, low blood pressure, coma, and death. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because of toxicity concerns and lack of safety data.

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?

  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 1 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take lithium, check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product — lobelia may increase lithium levels in your blood and require a dose adjustment.

Lobelia is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, lobelia might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Lobelia by Thymely Solutions: Common Questions

Does Lobelia by Thymely Solutions interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lobelia has a known interaction with 1 medication. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Lobelia contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is lobelia safe to take while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against it during both pregnancy and breastfeeding because of toxicity concerns and lack of safety data. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives.
What side effects can lobelia cause?
At low doses, you might experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation — even at doses as low as 50 mg. At higher doses (600 mg or more), toxicity becomes a serious risk, causing rapid heartbeat, very low blood pressure, convulsions, dangerously low body temperature, coma, and potentially death.
Does lobelia actually help people quit smoking?
According to the data we hold, it's rated possibly ineffective for smoking cessation.
Why does lobelia interact with lithium?
Lobelia is thought to act like a diuretic (water pill), which could reduce how much lithium your kidneys excrete. That means lithium could build up to higher levels in your blood, so your dose may need to be lowered.
