HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Neem 500 mg by Amazing 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 27, 2026

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: organic neem powder at 500 mg per capsule. Neem is derived from the neem tree and has been used in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurveda, for skin and oral health.

The capsule also contains three inactive ingredients—vegetable cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silicon dioxide—which are common fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: blood purification, immunity, and healthy skin.
  • We looked for evidence on: Acne, Psoriasis, Dental plaque, Gingivitis, Insect repellent, Intestinal parasite infection — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Neem is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dental plaque (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Neem is rated "Possibly Effective" for Gingivitis, Lice.
  • Also on file: Neem is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Acne, Intestinal parasite infection, Psoriasis, Wound healing.

The evidence supports neem for two uses: it's possibly effective for gingivitis (gum inflammation) and for lice. Dental plaque is also listed as possibly effective.

For acne and a parasitic skin infection called tungiasis, the available evidence isn't strong enough to rate how well it works. If you're considering neem for any of these, manage expectations based on what the science actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Neem

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.

Neem leaf powder, as used here, appears generally well tolerated in adults when taken by mouth, though rigorous safety testing hasn't been done. The main topical side effect is contact dermatitis in people with sensitive skin.

However, serious concerns exist: neem oil and seed extracts can be toxic if swallowed, and in children, oral neem oil has caused severe problems. Rare cases in adults have reported heart rhythm problems (ventricular fibrillation), kidney damage, and breakdown of red blood cells—particularly in people with a specific genetic condition (G6PD deficiency).

During pregnancy, neem should be avoided because it may affect fertility and the developing baby. The safety data during breastfeeding is too limited, so it's best avoided then as well.

If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.

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 — Neem.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,014 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 this neem product, double-check the following medication types with your pharmacist or doctor: antidiabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar), any medications processed by CYP1A2, CYP3A4, CYP2C9, or CYP2C8 liver enzymes, P-glycoprotein substrate drugs handled by your kidneys, and immunosuppressants.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Neem may help with gum inflammation or lice based on current evidence, but it carries moderate interaction risks with a large number of medications and serious safety concerns in children and during pregnancy. If you take any prescription medication—especially diabetes drugs, heart medications, or immune-suppressing drugs—check your exact medications against the interaction tool before starting, and run it by your own doctor or pharmacist.

Pregnant people and those breastfeeding should avoid it.

Neem 500 mg by Amazing India: Common Questions

Does Neem 500 mg by Amazing India interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Neem 500 mg has a known interaction with 1,013 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Neem 500 mg 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 neem if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No—neem should be avoided during pregnancy because it may affect fertility and harm the developing baby. There also isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding, so it's best to skip it then too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
Is neem safe for my child?
Oral neem oil can cause serious problems in children, including severe metabolic and blood disorders. This capsule contains neem leaf powder, not oil, but given the safety concerns, it's best to discuss this with your pediatrician or pharmacist before giving it to a child.
Does neem actually work for gum disease?
Neem is possibly effective for gingivitis (gum inflammation) and dental plaque based on available research, so it may help, though it's not proven in all people. If you have gum disease, talk with your dentist about whether neem fits into your care plan.
What are the most common side effects?
When taken by mouth, neem seems well tolerated in adults, though high-quality safety research is limited. If you apply neem topically, some people with sensitive skin develop contact dermatitis—a rash or irritation at the site.
Will neem interact with my blood pressure or heart medications?
Neem may increase levels of certain heart and blood pressure drugs processed through your liver or kidneys. Use the medication checker on this page to search your exact drug names, and confirm the results with your pharmacist or doctor before starting.
What if I have diabetes and want to take neem?
Neem can lower blood sugar, and when combined with diabetes medications like metformin, it could push your glucose too low. This is a serious risk, so you must talk with your doctor before adding neem if you take any diabetes medication.
