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.

Meadowsweet by Hawaii Pharm is a liquid extract made from the leaf of the meadowsweet plant. It's a single-ingredient product — just the extract itself — mixed with alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.

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 isn't established in our data. It's been used traditionally for headache and respiratory tract infections, but the research doesn't yet support those claims reliably enough to rate it as effective for either.

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 because it contains salicylates, the human safety data are limited. Large doses can cause nausea and stomach upset.

Because it's a salicylate-containing product, there's a theoretical risk of side effects associated with salicylates — like stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, and ringing in the ears — though we don't have enough data to know how likely these are with meadowsweet specifically. During pregnancy, the safety data aren't there; it's best avoided.

There's also not enough information for breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.

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?
  • 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.

Check your medications if you take aspirin, choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate), or salsalate (Disalcid) — these are all Moderate interactions because meadowsweet adds salicylate exposure. Altogether, these interactions span 39 individual medications.

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 a traditional herb that some people use for headache and cold symptoms, but we don't have solid evidence it works for those purposes. If you take aspirin or similar salicylate drugs, check with us before starting this — the salicylates could add up.

Meadowsweet by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Meadowsweet by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Meadowsweet 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 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.
What does meadowsweet actually do?
Meadowsweet has been used traditionally for headache and respiratory infections, but we don't have reliable research showing it works for either of those. The evidence just isn't there yet.
Is it safe to take if I'm pregnant?
No, the safety data aren't sufficient; it's best avoided during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. You'll want to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before nursing and taking meadowsweet at the same time.
What are the side effects?
Large doses can cause nausea and stomach complaints. Because meadowsweet contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk of side effects like stomach irritation and ringing in the ears that are linked to salicylates, though we don't have enough data to say how likely they are with this product.
Does this liquid have a lot of fillers?
The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin — pretty standard for a liquid extract. There aren't a lot of extras, but those three help preserve and deliver the extract.
