HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Meadowsweet Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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: meadowsweet leaf extract (in dried form). Meadowsweet is a plant used traditionally for various purposes; it naturally contains salicin and other salicylate compounds.

The liquid also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

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 Meadowsweet product and its label doesn't state a use — see Meadowsweet'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 meadowsweet is not yet established. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for headache or respiratory tract infections — the two purposes listed.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the research isn't there yet to say either way. If you're considering it for one of these uses, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether the current evidence supports trying it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Meadowsweet

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.

Meadowsweet is generally used in food-like amounts, but the safety data in humans are limited. Large doses can cause nausea and stomach upset.

Because it contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk of side effects linked to salicylates — such as gastric irritation, nausea, vomiting, and tinnitus — though we don't have solid data on whether these occur with meadowsweet specifically at typical doses. During pregnancy, the safety data advise against it.

There isn't enough information to know either way about breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're nursing.

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

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Meadowsweet.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 39 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 you take this, check your medications against aspirin and similar salicylate pain relievers — choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate) and salsalate (Disalcid) — which interact at Moderate severity. Use the medication checker below to verify your exact drugs.

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.

Meadowsweet is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but its effectiveness isn't established in rigorous trials. The main caution is if you're on aspirin or other salicylate-containing pain relievers — the combination could amplify effects in unpredictable ways.

Avoid it in pregnancy, and check with your pharmacist before starting, especially if you take any regular medications.

Meadowsweet Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Meadowsweet Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Meadowsweet Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 39 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Meadowsweet Alcohol Free 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.
Can I take meadowsweet if I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advise against it during pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this.
What's salicin, and why does it matter?
Salicin is a natural plant compound in meadowsweet related to salicylates. It's why meadowsweet can interact with aspirin and similar drugs — both contain salicylates, and taking them together might amplify effects. Salicin doesn't seem to have aspirin's blood-thinning properties, but the additive exposure is still a concern.
Does meadowsweet actually work for headaches?
We don't have enough reliable research data to say. The evidence is insufficient to rate it for headache or respiratory infections, so it's not established that it does work for these purposes.
What side effects might I get?
Large doses can cause nausea and stomach upset. Because meadowsweet contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk of salicylate-related side effects like gastric irritation, nausea, vomiting, and tinnitus, but we don't have solid data on how often these occur with meadowsweet at typical doses.
Can I breastfeed while taking this?
There isn't enough information to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing.
