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 6 of its 6 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

LungCare contains six active ingredients: vitamin B5, coenzyme Q10, lungwort extract, eucalyptus extract, oregano, and potassium. Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant naturally found in cells that may support heart and muscle function.

Lungwort, eucalyptus, and oregano are herbal extracts traditionally used to support respiratory health, though the strength of evidence for these uses varies. Potassium is an electrolyte essential for heart rhythm and muscle function.

The capsules also contain cellulose as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Coenzyme Q10 deficiency — rated "Likely Effective" (Coenzyme Q10) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Migraine headache — rated "Possibly Effective" (Coenzyme Q10) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Congestive heart failure (CHF) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Coenzyme Q10) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Diabetic neuropathy — rated "Possibly Effective" (Coenzyme Q10) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Fibromyalgia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Coenzyme Q10) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for these ingredients is limited. Coenzyme Q10 is likely effective for treating coenzyme Q10 deficiency itself, and possibly effective for fibromyalgia, migraines, congestive heart failure, and diabetic neuropathy.

For the herbal extracts—lungwort, eucalyptus, and oregano—the evidence we have on file does not establish them as effective for their traditional respiratory uses; the data rates them as insufficient to evaluate. Potassium's effectiveness ratings are not established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Coenzyme Q10 Lungwort Eucalyptus Oregano Potassium

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 4 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Coenzyme Q10 is generally well tolerated; the most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal symptoms like appetite suppression, diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn, occurring in less than 1% of users. Headache, dizziness, and insomnia have been reported rarely.

Eucalyptus extract can cause diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting orally, and burning or itching when applied to skin; the undiluted oil is poisonous if swallowed and can cause serious toxicity including seizures and coma. Oregano as a food seasoning is safe, but concentrated supplements carry a small risk of allergic reactions including anaphylaxis in sensitive people.

Potassium from food is fine, but supplements can cause dangerously high blood levels, especially in people with kidney disease, leading to heart rhythm problems and confusion. For pregnancy: eucalyptus extract is likely safe; oregano supplements should be avoided and only food amounts used; potassium from a normal diet is fine, but supplements should be used only under medical guidance.

For breastfeeding: safety data is limited for coenzyme Q10, lungwort, and oregano supplements—check with your doctor before using them; dietary potassium is appropriate, but confirm supplement use with your doctor.

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?
  • 4 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Oregano, Eucalyptus, Potassium, Coenzyme Q10.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,094 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.

Before taking LungCare, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take chemotherapy drugs (especially alkylating agents), blood thinners like warfarin, diabetes medications, blood pressure drugs (ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, or blood pressure lowering drugs), potassium-sparing diuretics, or medications broken down by liver enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP3A4 substrates), or amphetamines or pentobarbital. No interactions are documented for vitamin B5, which we could not fully check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

LungCare may be considered by people interested in respiratory or heart health support, but the evidence for most of its herbal ingredients is not well established. If you take a blood thinner, diabetes medication, blood pressure drug, or receive chemotherapy, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product—several ingredients interact with these medication types.

Pregnant women should avoid oregano supplements and eucalyptus oil, and anyone with kidney disease should not use potassium supplements without medical clearance.

Eucalyptus Extract7 drug types · 878 drugs

Amphetamines

Theoretically, inhaling eucalyptol may reduce the effectiveness of amphetamines.
Animal research suggests that inhaling eucalyptol may reduce the levels of amphetamines in the blood.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, eucalyptus leaf might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that eucalyptus leaf might have hypoglycemic activity, and might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eucalyptus oil might inhibit CYP1A2, although this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eucalyptus oil might inhibit CYP2C19, although this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eucalyptus oil might inhibit CYP2C9, although this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, eucalyptus might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that eucalyptus oil might inhibit CYP3A4, although this has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, inhaling eucalyptol might reduce the effectiveness of pentobarbital.

Oregano2 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, oregano might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aristolochic acid isolated from oregano leaves has antithrombin activity. It has also been reported that oregano oil inhibits arachidonic acid-induced, and ADP-induced, platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, oregano might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
In vitro and animal research shows that oregano extracts might lower blood glucose levels.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Oregano full monograph & interactions

Coenzyme Q-103 drug types · 198 drugs

Alkylating Agents

Coenzyme Q10 has antioxidant effects. Theoretically, this may reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals.
Theoretically, antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 might protect tumor cells from chemotherapeutic agents that work by inducing oxidative stress, such as alkylating agents (e.g., cyclophosphamide) and radiation therapy. The clinical importance of this interaction is unknown.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Coenzyme Q10 is chemically similar to menaquinone and might have vitamin K-like procoagulant effects, which could decrease the effects of warfarin.
Concomitant use of coenzyme Q10 and warfarin might reduce the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. Four cases of decreased warfarin efficacy thought to be due to coenzyme Q10 have been reported. However, there is some preliminary clinical research that suggests coenzyme Q10 might not significantly decrease the effects of warfarin in patients who have a stable INR.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, coenzyme Q10 might have additive effects with antihypertensive drugs.
Some clinical research shows that coenzyme Q10 can significantly lower blood pressure, although other studies have shown conflicting results.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Coenzyme Q-10 full monograph & interactions

Potassium3 drug types · 62 drugs

Ace Inhibitors (Aceis)

Using ACEIs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ACEIs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (Arbs)

Using ARBs with high doses of potassium increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
ARBs block the actions of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and reduce potassium excretion. Concomitant use of these drugs with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia. However, concomitant use of these drugs with moderate dietary potassium intake (about 3775-5200 mg daily) does not increase serum potassium levels.

Likelihood Likely Evidence C
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Concomitant use increases the risk of hyperkalemia.
Using potassium-sparing diuretics with potassium supplements increases the risk of hyperkalemia.

LungCare by Herbs SRA: Common Questions

Does LungCare by Herbs SRA interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, LungCare has a known interaction with 1,093 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
LungCare contains 6 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 coenzyme Q10 safe to take?
Coenzyme Q10 is generally well tolerated by most adults. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal symptoms—appetite suppression, diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn—occurring in less than 1% of people. Headache, dizziness, and insomnia have been reported rarely. If you experience persistent digestive upset, you can try dividing your daily dose.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Eucalyptus extract in this product is likely safe in pregnancy, but oregano supplements should be avoided—only use food amounts of oregano seasoning. For coenzyme Q10 and other ingredients, there isn't enough data to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you during pregnancy.
What is coenzyme Q10 used for?
Coenzyme Q10 is likely effective for treating coenzyme Q10 deficiency itself, and there is some evidence it may help with fibromyalgia, migraines, congestive heart failure, and diabetic neuropathy, though the evidence is not conclusive.
Is eucalyptus extract safe to swallow?
Diluted eucalyptus in this supplement form is generally well tolerated, but the undiluted oil is poisonous if swallowed and can cause serious toxicity including seizures. Stick to the recommended dose. If you're concerned about safety, check with your doctor.
How much potassium is in this product?
The product facts provided do not specify the potassium amount per serving. Check the label on your bottle for the exact dose, and if you have kidney disease or take blood pressure or diuretic medications, talk with your doctor before using this supplement.
Will this help my respiratory health?
Lungwort, eucalyptus, and oregano have been traditionally used to support respiratory health, but the evidence we have on file is not strong enough to confirm these benefits. If you're using this for a specific respiratory concern, discuss it with your doctor to see if it's right for you.
