HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ol' Number 11 by Pure Herbs
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
Low disclosure
Ol' Number 11 is a liquid blend containing 8 active ingredients: mullein leaf extract, marshmallow root extract, lobelia aerial parts extract, skullcap aerial parts extract, white oak bark extract, stoneroot root extract, wormwood aerial part extract, and black walnut hull extract. These are delivered as a proprietary blend, meaning the exact proportion of each ingredient isn't itemized on the label.
The product contains no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence supporting Ol' Number 11's ingredients is limited. Mullein leaf has insufficient reliable evidence for bronchitis, asthma, cough, migraine headache, and diarrhea.
Marshmallow root similarly lacks solid evidence for respiratory tract infections, diarrhea, eczema, candidiasis, and venous leg ulcers. Lobelia is rated possibly ineffective for smoking cessation.
Skullcap, wormwood, and black walnut hull all have insufficient evidence for their traditional uses — ranging from stress and epilepsy to biliary disorders and wound healing. White oak bark carries no effectiveness ratings in our data.
In short, the science doesn't yet establish what this product is reliably effective for.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Most of Ol' Number 11's ingredients are generally well tolerated for short-term use, but human safety data are thin. Lobelia is the exception — it can be toxic at higher doses, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, tremors, and throat irritation even at doses as low as 50 mg, and at 600 mg or higher can trigger sweating, rapid heart rate, low blood pressure, seizures, and potentially death.
Wormwood contains thujone, a neurotoxin that at medicinal doses can cause muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, and in rare cases acute kidney damage, muscle breakdown, and seizures. Chronic overuse has historical ties to absinthism — a condition marked by hallucinations, tremors, nerve damage, and psychiatric problems.
Skullcap at higher doses (200 mg and above per dose) may cause sedation and cognitive impairment. Black walnut hull's high tannin content can cause stomach upset.
White oak bark is also high in tannins and may irritate the digestive tract. Mullein leaf extract has been linked in two case reports to skin inflammation after topical contact or inhalation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Ol' Number 11, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take anticonvulsant drugs (seizure medications) — wormwood may interfere with their effectiveness. Also flag if you take lithium, any blood thinner or antiplatelet drug, central nervous system depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, opioids), or take oral medications on a fixed daily schedule.
If you're unsure about a specific medication, use the interaction checker on this page.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Ol' Number 11 combines several botanical extracts with limited evidence of effectiveness and real potential for interactions with common medications — particularly blood thinners, lithium, seizure drugs, sedatives, and oral medications taken on schedule. If you're on any regular prescription, especially for seizures, mental health, heart conditions, or blood thinning, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product.
Even if you're not on medications, the safety profile of ingredients like lobelia and wormwood warrants caution and short-term use only.

Ol' Number 11 by Pure Herbs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Ol' Number 11 by Pure Herbs contains several ingredients with documented interactions with medications.
Through its mullein leaf, marshmallow root, lobelia, skullcap, wormwood, and black walnut hull content, this product carries interactions affecting blood thinners (anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs), lithium, oral medications, central nervous system depressants, and anticonvulsants. The most serious interaction is wormwood's potential to interfere with anticonvulsant drugs — a Moderate severity concern — since thujone, one of wormwood's active compounds, has convulsant effects that could reduce seizure medication effectiveness.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Lobelia and marshmallow root can both theoretically reduce lithium excretion and raise lithium levels to toxic ranges (Moderate severity); lobelia carries this risk through its diuretic properties. Marshmallow root may also slow absorption of oral medications taken at the same time, a Minor concern — spacing your doses 30–60 minutes apart can help.
Mullein leaf extract and marshmallow flower theoretically have mild blood-thinning effects and could add to the action of blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Minor severity).
Skullcap aerial parts can have additive sedative effects when combined with central nervous system depressants like benzodiazepines or opioids (Moderate severity). White oak bark and black walnut hull have no documented interactions in our data.
We could not check stoneroot root extract. Altogether, these interactions span 2,056 individual medications.
Before you start Ol' Number 11, check your exact medications using the tool on this page, then run the results past your doctor or pharmacist — especially if you take a blood thinner, lithium, an anticonvulsant, a sedative, or any oral medication on a fixed schedule.

For each ingredient in Ol' Number 11 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.
Marshmallow Root Extract
Lithium
Theoretically, due to potential diuretic effects, marshmallow might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Marshmallow is thought to have diuretic properties. To avoid lithium toxicity, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when used with marshmallow.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, marshmallow flower might have antiplatelet effects.
Animal research suggests that marshmallow flower extract has antiplatelet effects. However, the root and leaf of marshmallow, not the flower, are the plant parts most commonly found in dietary supplements. Theoretically, use of marshmallow flower with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs can have additive effects, and might increase the risk for bleeding in some patients.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, mucilage in marshmallow might impair absorption of oral drugs.
Marshmallow contains mucilage which can affect oral drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take marshmallow 30-60 minutes after oral medications.
Skullcap aerial parts extract
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, skullcap can have additive effects when used with other CNS depressants.
Animal and clinical research suggests that skullcap can cause sedation and cognitive impairment.
Mullein Leaf Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Lab tests on extracts from different parts of common and dense-flowered mullein plants show that they do have some blood-thinning effects, as they increase the time it takes for blood to clot. This is likely due to at least one of the known constituents of muellein, triterpenoid saponins. However, the effects appear to be mild and results have been inconsistent. Extracts from different plant parts have been show to have varying anticoagulant strengths, with water-based ones being more potent than alcohol-based extracts.
Wormwood Aerial Part Extract
Anticonvulsants
Theoretically, taking wormwood might interfere with the effects of anticonvulsant drugs.
Thujone, a constituent of wormwood, has convulsant effects.
Lobelia Aerial Parts Extract
Lithium
Lobelia is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, lobelia might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
