HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Neem 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

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.

Organic Neem by Amazing India is a single-ingredient powder made from neem leaf. There are no inactive ingredients listed.

Neem is a traditional plant used in Indian medicine, and this product delivers it in a simple powdered form with nothing added.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Neem's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: skin health and detoxification support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Acne, Psoriasis, Wound healing, Dermatitis, Eczema.
  • The closest evidence on file: Neem is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Acne (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Neem is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Psoriasis, Wound healing.

The evidence supports neem for gingivitis and dental plaque removal—both are rated possibly effective. It's also possibly effective for lice.

For acne and tungiasis (a parasitic skin infection), the evidence is insufficient to rate it one way or the other, so we can't tell you whether it works for those conditions based on the data we hold.

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 is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth in adults, though high-quality safety studies are limited. The main concern is that neem oil and seed extracts can be toxic if swallowed, so stick to leaf preparations.

Topically, it's well tolerated in both children and adults; contact dermatitis is possible in sensitive skin. Rare serious effects—including cardiac arrest and kidney damage—have been reported in adults, and children are at higher risk for severe harm from oral neem oil.

Neem is rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because it may affect fertility and fetal development. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding, so it's best avoided.

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

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 — 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 product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antidiabetes drugs (to watch for low blood sugar), immunosuppressants, or medications processed by your liver (including many heart, blood pressure, and psychiatric drugs). Neem can alter how these medications work in your body.

Organic Neem by Amazing India: Common Questions

Does Organic Neem by Amazing India interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Neem 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?
Organic Neem 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 use neem powder if I have diabetes?
Neem can lower blood sugar on its own, which is helpful—but if you're already taking diabetes medication, combining them could push your blood sugar too low. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding neem to your routine, and if you do take it, watch for signs of low blood sugar like shakiness, sweating, or confusion.
Is neem powder safe to use on my skin?
Yes, topical neem is well tolerated in both children and adults. The main risk is contact dermatitis (a rash) in people with sensitive skin. If that happens, rinse it off and stop using it.
Can I give neem powder to my child?
If you're using it topically, it's generally okay. However, do not give neem oil by mouth to children—it can cause serious harm. Neem leaf powder by mouth is not well studied in children, so talk with your pediatrician first.
Does neem work for acne?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say whether neem helps acne. We don't have reliable data on it for that use.
What if I'm taking a blood thinner like warfarin?
Warfarin is processed by one of the liver enzymes that neem may affect (CYP2C9). Run your exact medication through the tool on this page, and then confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before adding neem—they may need to monitor your blood clotting more closely.
Can I take neem if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know if neem passes into breast milk or whether it's safe for your baby. It's best avoided while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
