HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pe Min Kan Wan by Plum Flower
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
Low disclosure
Pe Min Kan Wan is a 9-ingredient blend that combines traditional herbal extracts. The active ingredients include Magnolia biondii, Xanthium sibiricum, Isatis indigotica, Chrysanthemum morifolium, Mentha haplocalyx (Japanese mint), Perilla frutescens, and extracts of Pogostemon cablin, Saposhnikovia divaricata, and Centipeda minima.
The tablet also contains inactive ingredients — maltose, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium silicate, activated charcoal, and china wax — which serve as fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for most of these ingredients is limited. Magnolia is possibly effective for gingivitis, but for its other uses — including hay fever and anxiety — the data isn't established enough to rate.
Isatis shows possibly effective evidence for psoriasis. For the remaining ingredients' uses — Chrysanthemum for angina, headache, common cold, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS; Japanese mint for bronchitis, cancer, headache, cold, and cough; and Perilla for cognitive decline, hay fever, asthma, bone health, cancer, and headache — we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate any of them.
We have no effectiveness data on file for Xanthium sibiricum, Pogostemon cablin, Saposhnikovia divaricata, or Centipeda minima.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Xanthium sibiricum is the biggest safety concern in this product. The fruit contains toxic compounds and has caused serious poisoning; it's regarded as generally unsafe for use.
It must be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Chrysanthemum is generally well tolerated as a tea but can cause allergic reactions — an estimated 60% of Europeans are allergic — and safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established.
Japanese mint in small amounts is fine, but the concentrated oil can be irritating or toxic; it should be avoided while breastfeeding. Perilla seems well tolerated orally as food but supplement amounts are not well studied; medicinal doses should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding because anaphylaxis has been reported with perilla seeds.
Magnolia is generally well tolerated short-term, but safety data in humans are limited, and it should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. We hold no adverse-effect data for Isatis, Pogostemon cablin, Saposhnikovia divaricata, or Centipeda minima.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Before you take this, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on diabetes medications (blood sugar can drop dangerously), kidney-harming drugs, liver-harming drugs, blood thinners or aspirin-type drugs (bleeding risk), or sedating medications like sleep aids or anxiety drugs. No interactions are documented for the three ingredients we could not check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product carries serious safety and interaction concerns, particularly because of Xanthium sibiricum. If you take any blood sugar medications, blood thinners, sedating drugs, or drugs that stress your kidneys or liver, you must check with your pharmacist first — these combinations could cause real harm.
Pregnant or breastfeeding people should avoid it. If you're allergic to chrysanthemums or ragweed family plants, this may not be for you.

Pe Min Kan Wan by Plum Flower Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Pe Min Kan Wan by Plum Flower contains one ingredient — Xanthium sibiricum (Siberian cocklebur) — that carries serious interactions we need to talk about.
This ingredient can harm your kidneys and liver on its own, and combining it with drugs that do the same increases that risk significantly. It also lowers blood sugar and can cause severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so it must not be used with diabetes medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Additionally, Magnolia biondii in this product may add to the effects of sedating drugs like sleeping pills, anxiety medications, and pain relievers — potentially making you too drowsy. It can also theoretically increase bleeding risk when paired with blood thinners or aspirin-type drugs.
Chryanthemum and Japanese mint extract show no documented interactions, though both can trigger allergic reactions and Japanese mint oil can cause breathing problems if misused or inhaled in concentrated form. We could not check three other ingredients — Pogostemon cablin, Saposhnikovia divaricata, and Centipeda minima — because we hold no monograph data for them.
Altogether, these interactions span 892 individual medications. Please run your exact prescriptions through the checker on this page before you start.

For each ingredient in Pe Min Kan Wan with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Xanthium sibiricum Fruit Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Siberian cocklebur seedlings and seeds have caused severe hypoglycemia in humans. Hypoglycemia occurs soon after consumption and worsens with time in most cases. Do not use Siberian cocklebur in people taking medications that also lower blood glucose.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Siberian cocklebur can adversely affect the liver. It has been linked to many cases of hepatotoxicity and some cases of liver failure. Theoretically, concomitant use with other potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage. Some of these drugs include acarbose (Precose, Prandase), amiodarone (Cordarone), atorvastatin (Lipitor), azathioprine (Imuran), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cerivastatin (Baycol), diclofenac (Voltaren), felbamate (Felbatol), fenofibrate (TriCor), fluvastatin (Lescol), gemfibrozil (Lopid), isoniazid, itraconazole, (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), leflunomide (Arava), lovastatin (Mevacor), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), nevirapine (Viramune), niacin, nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin), pioglitazone (Actos), pravastatin (Pravachol), pyrazinamide, rifampin (Rifadin), ritonavir (Norvir), rosiglitazone (Avandia), simvastatin (Zocor), tacrine (Cognex), tamoxifen, terbinafine (Lamisil), valproic acid, and zileuton (Zyflo).
Nephrotoxic Drugs
Siberian cocklebur can adversely affect the kidney. Theoretically, combining Siberian cocklebur with potentially nephrotoxic drugs might have additive harmful effects on kidney function.
Some potentially nephrotoxic drugs include cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune); aminoglycosides including amikacin (Amikin), gentamicin (Garamycin, Gentak, others), and tobramycin (Nebcin, others); nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, Nuprin, others), indomethacin (Indocin), naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn), piroxicam (Feldene); and numerous others.
Magnolia biondii Flower Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, magnolia might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that the chemicals magnolol and honokiol, isolated from magnolia bark, inhibit platelet aggregation that is experimentally induced by collagen and arachidonic acid. However, they do not inhibit platelet aggregation that is induced by adenosine diphosphate, platelet-activating factor, or thrombin. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, concomitant use of large doses of magnolia bark and CNS depressants might have additive effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that constituents extracted from magnolia bark, especially honokiol and magnolol, have sedative effects. These effects may be due to the inhibition of catecholamine release and modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) receptors.
