HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pau D'Arco Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: pau d'arco bark extract (in dried form). Pau d'arco is a tree bark traditionally used in herbal medicine for several purposes, though reliable evidence for most of those uses remains limited.

The liquid is delivered in a base of glycerin and water.

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 Pau D'arco product and its label doesn't state a use — see Pau D'arco'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 data we hold shows insufficient evidence to rate pau d'arco for cancer, peptic ulcers, wound healing, or dysmenorrhea. That means the studies done so far haven't been strong or large enough to confirm whether it works for these uses.

If you're considering this product for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current evidence actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pau D'arco

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.

Pau d'arco is generally well tolerated at typical doses, but the safety notes flag caution at higher doses — human safety data is limited. A particular concern is the lapachol compound: doses above 1.5 grams daily may cause anemia, increased bleeding risk, severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

The facts advise against this product during pregnancy due to possible harm to the developing baby and lack of safety data, and against breastfeeding for the same reason — there isn't enough information to know it's safe while nursing.

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 — Pau D'arco.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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 pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin or apixaban, or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel — pau d'arco may increase your bleeding risk at moderate severity. No other drug types have documented interactions in our data for this ingredient.

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.

Pau d'arco extract may be worth considering if you're exploring traditional herbal remedies and have no contraindications, but the evidence for its benefits is not yet established. If you take any blood-thinning medication, check with your pharmacist before starting — the interaction with those drugs is documented and could raise your bleeding risk.

Definitely avoid this during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and stick to lower doses to reduce the risk of nausea and other side effects.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, pau d'arco might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that pau d'arco reduces platelet aggregation and may interfere with vitamin K. One clinical study shows that taking the lapachol constituent of pau d'arco in doses above 1.5 grams daily increases the risk of bleeding. The effects of whole pau d'arco or pau d'arco extract in humans are unclear.

Pau D'Arco Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra: Common Questions

Does Pau D'Arco Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Pau D'Arco Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 122 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Pau D'Arco Alcohol Free 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 take this while I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety information advises against pau d'arco during pregnancy due to possible harm to the baby and lack of safety data, and while breastfeeding for the same reason. Talk with your doctor or midwife about safe herbal options if you need support during these times.
What dose is safe, and when should I worry about side effects?
The facts note that human safety data is limited and effects may show up at higher doses. A specific concern: the lapachol compound in pau d'arco can cause anemia, bleeding risk, severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea when doses exceed 1.5 grams daily. Since this liquid has no stated dose per serving here, ask your pharmacist what amount you're actually taking.
Does this actually work for cancer, ulcers, or wound healing?
The evidence isn't established yet. The data we have shows insufficient evidence to rate pau d'arco for cancer, peptic ulcers, wound healing, or menstrual cramps — meaning the studies so far aren't strong enough to prove it works for these uses.
Is this alcohol-free, and what else is in it?
Yes — it's alcohol-free and comes in a base of glycerin and water. The active ingredient is pau d'arco bark extract. Glycerin and water are inactive ingredients that help deliver the extract.
