Mugwort Ingredients & Drug Interactions
by Herbal Terra
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Mugwort against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mugwort by Herbal Terra
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: Mugwort Herb Extract, Dry. Mugwort is a traditional herbal preparation that has been used for a range of purposes, though the evidence supporting those uses is limited.
The liquid also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold on mugwort doesn't establish reliable support for any of its traditional uses. The data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for anxiety, epilepsy, high blood pressure, insomnia, or intestinal parasite infection.
If you're considering mugwort for any of these reasons, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the science actually supports and what other options might work better for you.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Mugwort can trigger allergic reactions, especially if you're sensitive to ragweed or related plants. Reported symptoms include asthma, runny nose, eye irritation, rash, and in rare cases anaphylaxis.
There's also a rare but serious concern: a case of mania has been reported in someone who took a very large amount of mugwort infusion, linked to an unusually high level of thujone (a compound naturally present in mugwort at variable levels). Mugwort should be avoided during pregnancy because it has traditionally been used to stimulate the uterus and menstruation.
There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredient we could check. Run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to be sure, but the main safety concerns with mugwort are allergic reactions and its traditional uterine effects in pregnancy, not medication interactions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Mugwort has a long history of traditional use, but the current evidence doesn't reliably support its effectiveness for the conditions it's marketed for. It carries real safety concerns — allergic reactions are possible, especially for people sensitive to ragweed, and pregnancy should be off-limits.
If you're interested in mugwort for a specific reason, talk with your pharmacist first.
