HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rico Digest by Dr. Rico Perez

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 8 active ingredients.

Rico Digest contains 8 ingredients, 6 of which are active. The main ones are digestive enzymes: bromelain (from pineapple), papain (from papaya), protease, protease-acid stable, amylase, lipase, lactase, and cellulase.

These are meant to help break down food — proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and milk sugar — to aid digestion. The rest of the capsule is made of inactive ingredients like rice flour, cellulose, magnesium stearate, and silica, which are fillers and binders.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive enzyme support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, Bloating, Indigestion.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia.

The evidence on most of these enzymes is limited. Bromelain has insufficient reliable evidence for conditions like allergic rhinitis, burns, cancer, and diabetes.

Papain also lacks solid evidence for cancer, dental caries, shingles, muscle soreness, and other uses listed. Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance — it breaks down the milk sugar that some people can't digest.

Lipase and protease effectiveness hasn't been rated for the conditions we have data on. If you're taking this for general digestive support, the evidence doesn't clearly back that use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bromelain Lipase Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Lactase Papain

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bromelain is generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data is sparse. Common side effects are diarrhea, flatulence, stomach upset, and headache.

Allergic reactions can happen, especially if you're sensitive to pineapple. Papain is similar — usually tolerated in food form, but supplements may irritate your stomach and trigger allergies in sensitive people.

High doses can cause serious problems like esophageal perforation or severe gastritis. Lactase is generally well tolerated and unlikely to cause issues; lipase and protease also have few reported side effects in adults, though digestive upset or allergic reactions are possible with any digestive enzyme.

If you have a serious digestive condition, talk to your doctor before taking this product.

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?
  • 2 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Papain, Bromelain.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 141 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.

If you take warfarin (Coumadin) or other blood thinners, check with your pharmacist first — papain may increase how strong warfarin works, and bromelain has antiplatelet effects that could raise bleeding risk. If you're on antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel, or tetracycline antibiotics, run them through the interaction checker below before starting this product.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This is a multi-enzyme digestive aid best suited for people wanting general digestive support or those with lactose intolerance (where lactase is effective). If you take blood thinners like warfarin, antiplatelet drugs like aspirin, or tetracycline antibiotics, check with your pharmacist first — bromelain and papain may interfere.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? The safety data doesn't support it.

Talk to your pharmacist if digestive upset or allergies are a concern for you.

Bromelain2 drug types · 141 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Bromelain may have antiplatelet effects and may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
There is one case report of a patient experiencing minor bruising while taking bromelain with naproxen. Bromelain is thought to have antiplatelet activity. Whether this interaction is of concern with topical bromelain is unclear. Interference with coagulation of burn wounds has been reported in a patient receiving bromelain-based enzymatic debridement. However, observational research has found that topical bromelain debridement is not associated with increases or decreases in laboratory markers of coagulation when compared with surgical debridement.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, bromelain might increase levels of tetracycline antibiotics.
Laboratory research suggests that bromelain might increase the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. However, a study in healthy adults reported no difference in tetracycline plasma levels when a 500 mg dose was taken with or without bromelain 80 mg.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Bromelain full monograph & interactions

Papain1 drug type · 2 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, papain might increase the effects and side effects of warfarin.
In one case report, a patient previously stable on warfarin was found to have an international normalization ratio (INR) of 7.4, which was attributed to ingestion of a supplement containing papain from papaya extract.

Rico Digest by Dr. Rico Perez: Common Questions

Does Rico Digest by Dr. Rico Perez interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Rico Digest has a known interaction with 141 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Rico Digest contains 8 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Will this help with my lactose intolerance?
Yes — lactase, one of the enzymes in this product, is effective for lactose intolerance. It breaks down the milk sugar your body can't digest naturally. Lactase is also generally well tolerated, so it's the ingredient in this blend with solid evidence behind it.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
Not safely, based on the data we have. Bromelain and papain are best avoided during pregnancy — there isn't enough safety information. Lipase and protease also lack pregnancy safety data. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or planning to be.
Is it okay while breastfeeding?
The safety data doesn't support it. Bromelain and papain should be avoided while breastfeeding because we don't know enough. Lipase, protease, and lactase have limited or no data. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're nursing.
What are the most common side effects?
Diarrhea, flatulence, stomach upset, and headache — mostly from the bromelain. Some people get allergic reactions like itching, rash, or watery eyes, especially if they're sensitive to pineapple or papaya. Stop and call your pharmacist if you notice anything unusual.
Does this really help with digestion?
The evidence for general digestive support is limited. Lactase works well for lactose intolerance specifically, but the other enzymes (bromelain, papain, protease, lipase) haven't been proven to help with standard digestion in adults. The data just isn't there yet.
How long can I safely take this?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated. Long-term safety data is limited, especially for bromelain and papain. If you're using this regularly, it's worth checking in with your pharmacist about whether ongoing use is right for you.
