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.

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 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
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 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.

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 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
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 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.

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.

Does Meadowsweet by TerraVita 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 while I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data available suggest meadowsweet is likely unsafe during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using any herbal supplement while pregnant.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough information to know either way. To be safe, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using meadowsweet while you're nursing.
Will meadowsweet help my headaches?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say. The research on meadowsweet for headache isn't strong enough to recommend it or rule it out. Your pharmacist can discuss other options with you.
What side effects should I watch for?
In larger doses, meadowsweet can cause nausea and stomach upset. Because it contains salicylates, there's a theoretical risk of stomach irritation, vomiting, or ringing in the ears, though we don't have solid human data on how often that happens.
Is meadowsweet safe to take with aspirin?
Probably not without checking first. Meadowsweet contains salicylates, and taking it with aspirin or similar drugs could add up to an unwanted effect. Use our medication checker below with your exact aspirin product, or ask your pharmacist.
