HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rutin 500 mg by Puritan's Pride

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, a plant compound at 500 mg per tablet. Rutin is found naturally in some foods and has been studied for a range of health purposes.

The rest of the tablet is made up of inactive ingredients—cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, silica, glycerin, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid—which help form and stabilize the pill.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Rutin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Rutin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold for rutin doesn't yet support its use for aging skin, autism spectrum disorder, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, exercise-induced respiratory infections, or hemorrhoids. Each of these areas is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean rutin won't help—it means the research so far hasn't established it clearly enough for us to rate it.

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 when taken as a short-term supplement, though long-term safety data at higher doses are limited. A small number of people report headache, flushing, or rashes when taking it by mouth.

The safety data for pregnancy are strong enough that rutin is rated likely safe in pregnancy, but there isn't enough information yet to know if it's safe while breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid supplement doses while nursing unless your doctor advises otherwise.

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 product, check whether you use any antidiabetes medications (drugs that lower blood sugar). Rutin may add to their effect and increase the risk of low blood sugar.

Confirm with your doctor or pharmacist that it's safe to combine.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This one-ingredient supplement may appeal to you if you're exploring rutin for general wellness, but the evidence for specific health conditions isn't established yet. If you take any medication for blood sugar control, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first—the interaction potential is real.

Talk it over before you start.
