HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Oreganol P73 by North American Herb & Spice

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (140 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Oreganol P73 is a one-ingredient product: wild oregano oil in a softgel capsule. Oregano oil is the concentrated extract of the oregano plant and is much stronger than the oregano you'd sprinkle on pizza.

The capsule itself is made from BSE-free beef gelatin.

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 Oregano product and its label doesn't state a use — see Oregano'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 oregano oil isn't yet established for any of the uses listed in the data—acne, bronchitis, asthma, headache, and upper respiratory tract infection all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means larger, well-designed studies haven't been done yet to prove or disprove benefit.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Oregano

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.

Oregano in food amounts is generally well tolerated. When used as a concentrated supplement, the safety picture is less clear because it's much stronger and less studied than food amounts.

Gastrointestinal upset is the most common side effect when taken by mouth. Rare but serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in sensitive individuals.

For pregnancy, the safety data advises against medicinal or supplement doses, though food amounts are likely fine. For breastfeeding, there isn't enough data to know whether supplement amounts are safe—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

If you have a known allergy to oregano or other plants in the mint family (Lamiaceae), you should avoid this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Oregano

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 — Oregano.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin or apixaban, or diabetes medications like metformin or insulin. Oregano oil may increase bleeding risk and lower blood sugar, changing how these drugs work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Oreganol P73 is one to check before you start if you take blood thinners or diabetes medications. Evidence for its effectiveness isn't yet established in reliable studies.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a history of allergic reactions to oregano or mint-family plants, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Oreganol P73 by North American Herb & Spice: Common Questions

Does Oreganol P73 by North American Herb & Spice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Oreganol P73 has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Oreganol P73 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.
Is oregano oil the same as oregano seasoning?
No. Oregano oil is a concentrated extract that's much stronger than the dried herb you'd use in cooking. Because it's so concentrated, its effects and safety profile aren't as well understood as food amounts.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Medicinal or supplement doses of oregano oil are not advised during pregnancy, though the oregano you eat as food is considered fine. If you're thinking about taking this supplement while pregnant, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What's the most common side effect?
Gastrointestinal upset—stomach discomfort or digestive issues—is the most common side effect reported when oregano is taken by mouth in supplement form.
Are there any serious risks?
Serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been rarely reported in sensitive individuals. If you've had allergies to oregano, thyme, or other mint-family plants, you should avoid this product.
Does oregano oil actually work for colds or bronchitis?
There isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works for upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, or asthma. Larger studies would be needed to know for sure.
What's in the capsule besides the oregano oil?
The capsule itself is made from BSE-free beef gelatin, which is an inactive ingredient that holds the oil.
