HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Meadowsweet by Maine Coast Herbals

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.

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: meadowsweet, a plant herb. The liquid also includes grain alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients to deliver the herb in liquid form.

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 the data we hold. It's been studied for headache and respiratory tract infections, but the research available doesn't give us enough reliable information to rate how well it works for either condition.

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 small, food-like amounts, but safety data in humans are limited. Large doses can cause nausea and stomach upset.

Because it contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk that the side effects linked to salicylates—stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, and ringing in the ears—could occur, though we don't have enough information to know if that would actually happen with this herb. The safety data advise against meadowsweet during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.

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.

Before taking Meadowsweet, double-check any salicylate-containing medications you're on—especially aspirin, choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate), and salsalate (Disalcid)—to avoid a possible additive effect. Use the medication checker on this page with your exact drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Meadowsweet is an herb with limited human safety data and unproven effectiveness for the conditions it's marketed for. If you take any salicylate-containing pain reliever or anti-inflammatory drug, check with your pharmacist first.

Pregnant and nursing mothers should avoid it.

Meadowsweet by Maine Coast Herbals: Common Questions

Does Meadowsweet by Maine Coast Herbals 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.
Can I take meadowsweet if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data advise against meadowsweet during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.
Does meadowsweet actually work for headaches or colds?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say. Studies have looked at meadowsweet for both headache and respiratory infections, but there isn't enough reliable data to rate how well it works.
What are the side effects of meadowsweet?
In large doses, meadowsweet can cause nausea and stomach upset. Because it contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk of stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, and ringing in the ears—though we don't have enough human data to know how often these occur with this herb.
Why does meadowsweet interact with aspirin?
Meadowsweet contains salicin, a plant salicylate, and aspirin is also a salicylate-containing drug. Taking them together could theoretically add up to a stronger effect, though meadowsweet's salicin doesn't have aspirin's blood-thinning power.
