HelloPharmacist Scorecard of SciatiGon-S by Native Remedies

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

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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Formula” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.50 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

SciatiGon-S is a liquid formula with five ingredients. Three of them — Burdock, Skullcap (Fresh), and Devil's Claw — have documented safety and interaction data.

Two others, Prickly Ash and Chamomile, are included in a proprietary blend; we could not check either of those. The product also contains glycerin and deionized water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Moderate 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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Nerve pain and joint discomfort relief.
  • We looked for evidence on: Back pain, Osteoarthritis, Myalgia, Anxiety, Stress, Insomnia — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Devil's Claw is rated "Possibly Effective" for Back pain (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Devil's Claw is rated "Possibly Effective" for Osteoarthritis.
  • Also on file: German Chamomile is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Anxiety, Fibromyalgia, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Insomnia.

The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. Devil's Claw is rated possibly effective for back pain and osteoarthritis, based on available research.

Burdock has been evaluated for acne, aging skin, breast cancer, common cold, and eczema — but the evidence for all of these is insufficient to rate. Skullcap has been studied for epilepsy, stress, stroke, spasticity, contact dermatitis, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder, but again, evidence is insufficient to establish effectiveness for any of them.

We hold no effectiveness data for Prickly Ash and Chamomile.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Northern Prickly Ash German Chamomile Burdock Skullcap Devil's Claw

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 4 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.

Burdock and Devil's Claw are generally well tolerated when used short-term in healthy adults, though digestive upset (including diarrhea) is possible with Devil's Claw. Skullcap may cause sedation, cognitive impairment, and mild digestive disturbances — around 9% of trial participants taking a higher dose reported these effects.

Rare serious reactions to Burdock include allergic skin reactions and, in one case, liver inflammation after a month of use (though other ingredients in that product may have played a role). Both Burdock and Devil's Claw should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data and potential effects on the uterus.

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?
  • 5 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Northern Prickly Ash, Burdock, German Chamomile, Devil's Claw, Skullcap.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 1,104 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 SciatiGon-S, check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners like warfarin, sedatives or sleep aids (CNS depressants), or acid-blocking medications such as omeprazole or famotidine. Also flag any drugs your liver breaks down via CYP2C19, CYP2C9, or CYP3A4 — a broad group that includes many statins, heart medications, and immunosuppressants.

If you're unsure whether your drug falls into any of these categories, use the search tool on this page.

SciatiGon-S by Native Remedies: Common Questions

Does SciatiGon-S by Native Remedies interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, SciatiGon-S has a known interaction with 1,103 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
SciatiGon-S contains 5 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.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. The safety data advises against both Burdock and Devil's Claw during pregnancy because of potential effects on the uterus and insufficient safety information. The same goes for breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
What does Devil's Claw actually do?
Devil's Claw is possibly effective for back pain and osteoarthritis based on available research. It's the ingredient in this formula with the strongest evidence, though that evidence is still limited.
Can this product make me drowsy?
Yes — Skullcap can cause sedation and cognitive impairment, especially at higher doses. This effect may be stronger if you're also taking other sedatives or sleep aids. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how you respond.
What side effects might I notice?
Digestive upset and diarrhea are the most common complaints with Devil's Claw. Skullcap may cause sedation, vivid dreams, or mild digestive disturbances. Allergic skin reactions to Burdock are rare but possible. Stop and contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, bleeding, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Does this work for sciatic pain?
The data we hold don't show any evidence rating for sciatica specifically. Devil's Claw is possibly effective for back pain and osteoarthritis, which may be relevant, but we cannot speak to its effectiveness for nerve pain. Ask your pharmacist or doctor whether this product is right for your condition.
