HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rosemary by Herb Pharm
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: rosemary leafy tip extract made from fresh, undried rosemary. The liquid form also includes cane alcohol as an inactive ingredient to preserve and deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence we hold shows rosemary is possibly effective for memory. For other uses—including age-related cognitive decline, hair loss (alopecia areata), and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—the research data we have isn't robust enough to rate it either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Rosemary is safe in normal culinary amounts, but concentrated extracts like this one deserve some care. Food amounts during pregnancy are likely fine, but medicinal doses are best avoided when pregnant because the safety data isn't there.
Similarly, breastfeeding safety data for medicinal doses isn't established—stick with food amounts if you're nursing. Allergic reactions can happen, especially topically; when applied to the mouth, some people have experienced lip and gum swelling, and on the skin, allergic rashes have occurred.
In rare cases, occupational exposure to rosemary and similar herbs has triggered asthma. The undiluted essential oil and the camphor it contains may also trigger seizures in susceptible people.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before starting this rosemary extract, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), aspirin, Trilisate, Disalcid, or diabetes medications—all carry Moderate interaction risk. Also flag any medications broken down by the CYP1A2 liver enzyme, though this is a Minor concern and hasn't been confirmed in humans.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If memory support is what you're after and you don't take blood thinners or diabetes medications, this is worth considering. But if you're on any prescription—especially anticoagulants, antiplatelets, aspirin-like drugs, or diabetes medications—check your exact medications with the tool on this page first.
Talk to your pharmacist if you're pregnant, nursing, or have a history of allergic reactions or asthma.

Rosemary by Herb Pharm Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herb Pharm's Rosemary Liquid Extract does interact with several medication types, and the most serious concerns involve blood thinners.
Rosemary may increase bleeding risk if you're taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs—research in test tubes and animals suggests it slows down platelet clumping, which is how your body normally forms clots.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check if you're on diabetes medications. Animal studies show rosemary can lower blood sugar, so theoretically combining it with antidiabetes drugs raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)—though human research is mixed on this.
Additionally, rosemary contains salicylates, which are aspirin-like compounds, so using it alongside aspirin, choline magnesium trisalicylate (Trilisate), or salsalate (Disalcid) might add up to stronger blood-thinning effects.
There's also a Minor concern: lab work shows rosemary may speed up how your liver breaks down certain medications metabolized by the CYP1A2 enzyme, potentially making them less effective—though this hasn't been confirmed in people yet.
Altogether, these interactions span 371 individual medications. Use the search tool below to check your exact prescriptions before you start.

Rosemary Leafy Tip Extract, Fresh, Undried
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, rosemary may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that rosemary inhibits platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking rosemary with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Although rosemary powder decreased blood glucose levels in healthy adults, no change in blood glucose levels was seen in adults with type 2 diabetes, most of whom were taking antidiabetes drugs.
Aspirin
Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as aspirin.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylates.
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)
Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as choline magnesium trisalicylate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.
Salsalate (Disalcid)
Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as salsalate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, rosemary might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that rosemary induces CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.
