HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Meadowsweet by TerraVita
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
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: meadowsweet glycerite liquid extract. Meadowsweet is a plant traditionally used for relief, and this liquid form is made by extracting the herb into glycerin.
The product also contains glycerin as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for meadowsweet isn't established yet. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for headache or respiratory tract infections—the two uses we have information on.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies we have aren't strong enough to say either way. If you're thinking about it for one of those reasons, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Meadowsweet is generally used in food-like amounts and is generally well tolerated in small doses. At larger doses, it can cause nausea and stomach upset.
Because meadowsweet contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk that it could produce some of the same side effects as salicylate drugs—stomach irritation, nausea, vomiting, or even ringing in the ears (tinnitus)—though we don't have enough human data to know how often or how severe that would be. During pregnancy, meadowsweet is rated as likely unsafe based on the safety data available, so it's best avoided.
There isn't enough information to know about breastfeeding either; talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, double-check if you're on aspirin or salicylate-containing pain relievers like choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate) or salsalate (Disalcid). These all carry a Moderate interaction risk with meadowsweet.
Use the medication checker on this page to confirm 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 may be worth considering if you're interested in a traditional herbal option, but the evidence for it isn't solid yet. If you take aspirin or a similar salicylate-based pain reliever, you'll want to check with us or your pharmacist first.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not good times to use it.

Meadowsweet by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Meadowsweet by TerraVita contains salicin, a plant-based salicylate, and interacts with medications in the salicylate family.
The main concern is aspirin and similar salicylate-containing drugs—choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate) and salsalate (Disalcid)—where meadowsweet might add to their effects. These are all Moderate-severity interactions.
The good news is that salicin itself doesn't appear to thin blood the way aspirin does, but the additive salicylate load is still worth watching. Altogether, these interactions span 39 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
If you take any pain reliever or anti-inflammatory in the salicylate family, check your exact medication with our tool below before you start meadowsweet. Your pharmacist or doctor can help you decide whether it's safe to combine them or if you need to space them differently.
