Pygeum 100 mg Ingredients & Drug Interactions
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Pygeum 100 mg against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pygeum 100 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: pygeum, a plant extract used primarily for prostate health. The capsule also holds inactive ingredients (rice flour, gelatin, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate) that serve as fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Pygeum is likely effective for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — the noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that can cause urinary trouble. For other uses listed — Alzheimer disease, malaria, sexual desire, and psychosis — the evidence is insufficient to rate it.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Pygeum is generally well tolerated in short-term use, though quality and long-term safety data are limited. In clinical trials, nausea and abdominal pain were reported by some participants, but at rates similar to placebo.
Pygeum is not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, because established safe use has not been determined and there isn't enough safety information to call it appropriate for either.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for pygeum. Even so, check your exact medications with your pharmacist or the search tool here before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're dealing with BPH symptoms, pygeum may be worth a conversation with your doctor — the evidence supports its use for that. Just know that long-term safety data are thin on the ground.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any medications, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Formula

Pygeum bark contains phytosterols such as beta-sitosterols, which exhibit anti-inflammatory action by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the prostate, supporting prostate health.
