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.

The evidence for lobelia as a smoking-cessation aid is rated possibly ineffective in the data we hold. If you're considering it for another purpose, that effectiveness information isn't established in our records.

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, and caution is strongly advised. Even 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 risk climbs — symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, seizures, abnormally low body temperature, and in severe cases, coma or death. Do not use this product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

The safety data indicates it is likely unsafe for both. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before considering any lobelia product.

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 a high-risk supplement with serious toxicity concerns, particularly at higher doses. It's generally not recommended for smoking cessation based on the evidence we have.

If you take lithium or are pregnant or breastfeeding, this product is not appropriate without your doctor's input. Before starting, discuss it with your own doctor or pharmacist — the potential risks need to be weighed carefully for your situation.
