HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Ashwagandha 750 mg by Herbal Secrets
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: organic ashwagandha root powder at 750 mg per serving. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an herb used traditionally to support relaxation and stress response.
The tablet also includes inactive ingredients—rice dextrin and organic gum acacia—which are excipients that help form and bind the tablet.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Ashwagandha is possibly effective for insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder, based on preliminary clinical evidence. For bipolar disorder, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness.
Keep in mind that "possibly effective" means the science supports a benefit, but more research would strengthen the evidence—it's not a guarantee it will work the same way for you.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Ashwagandha is generally well tolerated in the short term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data are limited and quality varies between products. The most common side effects—when they do occur—are diarrhea, gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and vomiting, though these are uncommon at typical doses.
Drowsiness has been reported. Rare serious effects include acute liver problems and, in a very small number of case reports, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (a temporary narrowing of blood vessels in the brain).
Because ashwagandha has traditionally been thought to risk miscarriage, the safety data advise against use during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for you if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this ashwagandha product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on hepatotoxic drugs (medications that can affect the liver), CNS depressants or sleep aids, benzodiazepines (like Valium or Klonopin), blood pressure medications, blood sugar medications, thyroid hormones, immunosuppressants, or any drug metabolized by the CYP1A2 liver enzyme. The interaction checker below can help you look up your specific medications.
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.
Ashwagandha may help with insomnia, anxiety, and stress—but it's important to check your medications first, especially if you take blood pressure drugs, sleep aids, blood sugar medications, thyroid hormones, or liver-damaging medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding?
Discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. It's generally well tolerated, but quality and long-term safety data are limited.

Organic Ashwagandha 750 mg by Herbal Secrets Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbal Secrets Organic Ashwagandha 750 mg contains ashwagandha root powder, which interacts with a number of medication types.
The most serious documented concern is with hepatotoxic drugs (liver-damaging medications)—ashwagandha has been linked to cases of acute hepatitis, liver failure, and in rare cases, the need for transplantation or death from liver failure.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Ashwagandha also carries Moderate-severity interactions with CNS depressants (sedatives, sleep aids, alcohol), benzodiazepines (anxiety medications like Valium and Klonopin), antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), antidiabetes drugs (blood sugar medications), thyroid hormones, and immunosuppressants. With CNS depressants and benzodiazepines, ashwagandha may increase sedation.
With blood pressure medications, it may lower your blood pressure further and raise the risk of dizziness or fainting. With blood sugar medications, it may lower blood glucose too much.
With thyroid hormones, it may boost their effects—potentially causing overactive thyroid symptoms. With immunosuppressants, it may weaken their intended action.
There is also a Minor interaction with certain medications metabolized by the liver enzyme CYP1A2.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,373 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions before you start.

organic Ashwagandha root powder
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
There is preliminary clinical evidence suggesting that ashwagandha might lower blood glucose levels. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research suggests that ashwagandha might lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Theoretically, ashwagandha might have additive effects when used with antihypertensive drugs and increase the risk of hypotension.
Benzodiazepines
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of benzodiazepines.
There is preliminary evidence that ashwagandha might have an additive effect with diazepam (Valium) and clonazepam (Klonopin). This may also occur with other benzodiazepines.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might increase the sedative effects of CNS depressants.
Ashwagandha seems to have sedative effects. Theoretically, this may potentiate the effects of barbiturates, other sedatives, and anxiolytics.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage.
Ashwagandha has been linked to cases of acute hepatitis, liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, autoimmune hepatitis, the need for liver transplantation, and death due to liver failure.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, taking ashwagandha might decrease the effects of immunosuppressants.
Ashwagandha has demonstrated immunostimulant effects in humans. Animal research has shown that ashwagandha can attenuate the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide.
Thyroid Hormone
Ashwagandha might increase the effects and adverse effects of thyroid hormone.
Concomitant use of ashwagandha with thyroid hormones may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects. Preliminary clinical research and animal studies suggest that ashwagandha boosts thyroid hormone synthesis and secretion. In one clinical study, ashwagandha increased triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels by 41.5% and 19.6%, respectively, and reduced serum TSH levels by 17.4% from baseline in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, ashwagandha might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that ashwagandha extract induces CYP3A4 enzymes.
Serotonergic Drugs
Some animal studies have reported that ashwagandha can enhance serotonergic transmission by altering certain serotonin (5-HT) receptors. However, there is no evidence to suggest that ashwagandha increases the risk of serotonin-related effects, and there have been no published case reports of serotonin syndrome when combined with other serotonergic drugs. Nevertheless, due to the lack of extensive studies on the matter and the fact that ashwagandha appears to affect serotonergic pathways, it would be prudent to exercise caution when combining it with drugs that affect serotonin.
