HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Paneer Phool / Berries by Vedic 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
Full disclosure
This powder contains one active ingredient: withania coagulans, commonly known as ashwagandha, a traditional herb used in Ayurvedic medicine. The product has no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The data shows ashwagandha is possibly effective for insomnia, anxiety, stress, and generalized anxiety disorder. It has not been rated for bipolar disorder — the evidence isn't strong enough to say either way.
If you're looking at this for sleep or worry, the evidence suggests it may help, though more research would strengthen that claim.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Ashwagandha is generally well tolerated in the short term for healthy adults, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects when they occur are diarrhea, stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting, but these don't happen often at typical doses.
Rare serious concerns include acute liver damage and, in one case report, reversible brain blood vessel constriction that led to bleeding. Drowsiness is a reported effect.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are both caution zones. Ashwagandha is traditionally thought to carry a miscarriage risk, so avoid it during pregnancy.
There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so avoid it then too. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if either applies to you.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check this product if you take immune-suppressant drugs (like those after a transplant), benzodiazepines or other sedatives, blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, thyroid hormone replacement, or any drug known to stress your liver. These are the main categories where ashwagandha's effects matter most.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Ashwagandha in this powder may help with sleep, anxiety, and stress, but it interacts with quite a few medication classes — especially immune-suppressant drugs, sedatives, blood pressure meds, and diabetes drugs. If you're on any prescription medication, check your specific drugs with the tool below before starting.
Pregnant and breastfeeding people should skip it.

Withania coagulans monograph & interactionsPaneer Phool / Berries by Vedic Herbs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Paneer Phool / Berries by Vedic Herbs contains withania coagulans (also called ashwagandha), an herb that does interact with medications.
The most serious concern is with drugs that suppress your immune system (immunosuppressants) — ashwagandha can actually work against them and reduce their effectiveness, which matters a lot if you're taking them for a transplant or autoimmune condition.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check if you're on sedating medications or benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety drugs like diazepam or clonazepam). Ashwagandha can add to their drowsy effects.
The same goes for blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — ashwagandha may lower your blood pressure further and raise the risk of it dropping too low. If you take diabetes drugs, there's a theoretical risk that ashwagandha could lower your blood sugar more than intended.
Two other categories to flag: thyroid hormone replacements (it may boost thyroid effects and side effects) and drugs that stress your liver (hepatotoxic drugs) — ashwagandha carries a rare but serious risk of liver damage on its own. There's also a minor interaction with certain drugs your body processes through the CYP1A2 enzyme pathway.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,351 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to see if any of yours are affected before you start.

For each ingredient in Paneer Phool / Berries with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Withania coagulans
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.
