HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rutin 500 mg by Carlson

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: rutin 500 mg per tablet. Rutin is a flavonoid — a plant compound found naturally in foods like onions, apples, and tea.

The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients (dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, and ethylcellulose) that help hold the tablet together and aid in absorption.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Rutin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: promotes a healthy circulatory system.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhoids, Varicose veins, Chronic venous insufficiency, Capillary fragility, Edema.
  • The closest evidence on file: Rutin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hemorrhoids (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rutin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Lymphedema, Varicose veins.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that rutin is effective for aging skin, autism spectrum disorder, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diabetes, exercise-induced respiratory infections, or hemorrhoids — the data rates all these uses as having insufficient reliable evidence. If you're considering rutin for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor about what the current research really shows and whether it's the right choice for you.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rutin

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.

Rutin is generally well tolerated in food and short-term supplement use, but long-term safety data at supplement doses are limited. A small number of people report headache, flushing, or rashes when taking rutin orally.

The safety data during breastfeeding is unknown, so the evidence advises against supplement doses while nursing. If you're pregnant, the data rates rutin as likely safe, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they know your full health picture.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rutin

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 — Rutin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 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.

Before taking this rutin supplement, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on any antidiabetes drugs or insulin — rutin may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Rutin may be worth considering if you're interested in a flavonoid supplement and have no blood-sugar concerns — but the evidence for most common uses isn't established yet. If you take any diabetes medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, because rutin might lower your blood sugar further.

Long-term safety data are thin, so keep that in mind and report any new symptoms to your healthcare provider.

Rutin 500 mg by Carlson: Common Questions

Does Rutin 500 mg by Carlson interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Rutin 500 mg has a known interaction with 86 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Rutin 500 mg 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 rutin if I'm pregnant?
The data rates rutin as likely safe during pregnancy, but you should talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they'll help you weigh the benefits against what we know about long-term safety at supplement doses.
Is rutin safe while breastfeeding?
The safety data during breastfeeding are unknown, so the evidence advises against supplement doses while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What side effects might I experience?
A small number of people report headache, flushing, or rashes when taking rutin orally. Most people tolerate it well, especially at short-term use, but long-term safety data are limited.
Does rutin actually work for diabetes?
The evidence we hold rates it as insufficient to say whether rutin helps diabetes. Animal research suggests it may lower blood sugar, which is actually why it could interact with diabetes medications — but we don't have reliable human evidence yet.
Is this just a filler with rutin, or does it have other active ingredients?
This product contains one active ingredient: 500 mg of rutin. Everything else — dicalcium phosphate, cellulose, and the rest — are inactive ingredients that help make the tablet work as a tablet.
