HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Memory by Organic India
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
Memory is a 2-ingredient capsule combining bacopa and gotu kola, traditional herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine. Bacopa is valued for cognitive support, while gotu kola has been used for circulation and skin health.
The capsules contain pullulan as an inactive ingredient (a natural film former and binder).
Does it work?
Not established
For the conditions this product targets, the evidence we hold is limited. Bacopa shows insufficient reliable evidence for Alzheimer's disease, ADHD, cognitive function, cognitive impairment, back pain, and sexual dysfunction.
Gotu kola fares slightly better — it's possibly effective for venous insufficiency (poor circulation in the legs) and possibly effective for burns, but possibly ineffective for cognitive function and Alzheimer's disease. The evidence for cognitive or memory benefit from this combination isn't established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Both ingredients are generally well tolerated in short-term use, though long-term safety data are limited. Bacopa commonly causes mild gastrointestinal effects — abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, dry mouth, and headache appear in studies, with digestive complaints reported in 12–30% of participants.
Some people report drowsiness, insomnia, or vivid dreams. Gotu kola typically causes gastric irritation and nausea; topical use can rarely trigger allergic rash.
Rare liver toxicity has been reported with gotu kola, though contaminants weren't ruled out in those cases. Because there isn't enough safety information, both ingredients should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Memory, double-check the following medication types with your doctor or pharmacist: drugs metabolized by liver enzymes CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 (a very broad category including many heart, cholesterol, and antibiotic drugs); anticholinergic medications; cholinergic drugs; cevimeline (Evoxac); CNS depressants like sedatives and pain relievers; and any drugs that stress liver function. These carry Moderate severity interactions, meaning bacopa or gotu kola could raise their blood levels or side effects or reduce their effectiveness.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Memory may appeal to anyone exploring traditional herbal support for cognition, but the evidence for that benefit isn't strong. The real concern is its breadth of drug interactions — over 1,100 medications across liver-metabolizing enzymes, nerve-signaling drugs, and sedatives are affected.
If you take any prescription or regular over-the-counter medication, especially heart drugs, blood thinners, seizure drugs, sedatives, or anticholinergics, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product.

Memory by Organic India Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Organic India Memory contains bacopa and gotu kola, both of which interact with medications.
Bacopa's most serious documented interaction is with cevimeline (a drug for dry mouth in Sjögren syndrome), where a single dose triggered sweating, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and weakness in one case — a Moderate severity effect.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Backopa may also affect how your body processes several classes of drugs metabolized by liver enzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, and CYP3A4 substrates), potentially raising their blood levels and side effects — all Moderate severity. It can also counteract anticholinergic medications (drugs that block certain nerve signals) and add to the effects of cholinergic drugs (those that boost the same nerve signals).
Animal data suggests bacopa might slightly increase thyroid hormone levels.
Gotu kola carries Moderate interactions with CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, pain relievers) — it may boost their drowsiness effect — and theoretically with drugs that stress the liver. While liver problems from gotu kola are rare and mostly reported without lab confirmation, four cases exist in the literature.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,193 individual medications. Before you start Memory, run your exact prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs through the interaction checker below.

For each ingredient in Memory with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Bacopa
Anticholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use might decrease the effectiveness of both agents.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels, which could counteract the effects of anticholinergic drugs. Similarly, anticholinergic drugs might counteract the cholinergic effects of bacopa.
Cevimeline (Evoxac)
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the effects and adverse effects of cevimeline.
In one case, a 58-year-old female taking cevimeline long-term for Sjogren syndrome experienced hyperhidrosis, malaise, nausea, and tachycardia shortly after taking a single dose of bacopa. Symptoms resolved after two days. Cevimeline is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 and CYP3A4, and researchers theorize that bacopa may have inhibited these isoenzymes. However, it is unclear if bacopa causes clinically significant inhibition of either CYP2D6 or CYP3A4.
Cholinergic Drugs
Theoretically, concurrent use of bacopa with other cholinergic drugs might have additive effects.
Bacopa seems to inhibit acetylcholinesterase and might increase acetylcholine levels. Theoretically, this could result in additive cholinergic effects when used with cholinergic drugs.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP1A2 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence shows that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP1A2, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes. It is not known whether this is clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
Research on the effect of bacopa extracts on CYP2C9 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and non-competitively inhibit CYP2C9, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, bacopa might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
Research on the effects of bacopa extracts on CYP3A4 enzymes is conflicting. Some in vitro evidence suggests that bacopa extract can moderately and competitively inhibit CYP3A4, while other in vitro evidence suggests that any effect is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Thyroid Hormone
Theoretically, bacopa might have additive effects when used with thyroid hormone.
Animal research suggests that bacopa increases thyroxine (T4) levels in mice by about 40%.
Gotu Kola
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking gotu kola might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
In vitro research suggests that gotu kola may have sedative effects via binding of GABA receptors.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, taking gotu kola with hepatotoxic drugs might have additive adverse effects.
There are at least four case reports of hepatotoxicity associated with the use of gotu kola. However, more information is needed to determine if gotu kola was the causative factor in these cases.
