HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Siberian Rhubarb Extract 2500 mg by NusaPure
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: Siberian rhubarb root extract at 2,500 mg per capsule. Rhubarb is a plant with both food and medicinal uses — you may know it as the stalk in pies — but the root extract in supplements is a stimulant laxative, meaning it directly triggers your bowels to move.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (rice flour, cellulose, silica, and magnesium stearate), which are standard fillers and binders.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for rhubarb root is limited depending on what you're using it for. It's rated possibly effective for pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) and menopausal symptoms based on available studies.
For constipation, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), appendicitis, and nasopharyngeal cancer, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate whether it works — we can't tell you one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Rhubarb root is generally well tolerated in typical doses, but it does cause side effects in many people: cramping, diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea, and vomiting are common. In rare cases, anaphylaxis (a severe allergic reaction) has been reported.
The real concern is long-term use — chronic or excessive rhubarb can lead to potassium depletion, electrolyte loss, dehydration, kidney damage, and protein or blood in the urine. The safety data advises against medicinal rhubarb during pregnancy because it may stimulate the uterus, and against nursing because laxative compounds can pass into breast milk.
Don't use this supplement long-term without guidance.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this, run your medications through the checker below — especially if you take drugs that affect your kidneys or liver, blood thinners like warfarin, heart medications such as digoxin, corticosteroids, diuretics, cyclosporine (an immunosuppressant), or other laxatives. All carry moderate-risk interactions with rhubarb.
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.
Rhubarb root extract is a stimulant laxative, not a general wellness supplement — it's for occasional bowel support, not daily use. If you take any medication for your heart, kidneys, liver, or blood pressure, or if you're on blood thinners or immunosuppressants, talk to your pharmacist before starting.
Pregnant or nursing? Skip it.
And if you're considering long-term use, check in with us first.

Siberian Rhubarb Extract 2500 mg by NusaPure Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Siberian Rhubarb Extract 2500 mg by NusaPure contains one active ingredient — rhubarb root extract — which carries several documented interactions with medications.
The most serious concern is with drugs that damage the kidneys (nephrotoxic drugs): the anthraquinones in rhubarb have shown kidney-damaging potential in animal studies, and there's a case report of kidney failure in a patient who took rhubarb and then started a nephrotoxic painkiller. The same goes for drugs that damage the liver (hepatotoxic drugs) — rhubarb has been linked to at least 24 cases of liver injury in the medical literature.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Rhubarb's laxative action also creates a moderate risk with several other drug classes. It can worsen potassium loss if you're taking corticosteroids, diuretics (water pills), or the heart medication digoxin — overuse of rhubarb might lead to dangerous low potassium (hypokalemia).
It can boost the effects of the blood thinner warfarin and raise your bleeding risk because diarrhea amplifies how your body handles the drug. Rhubarb may also lower levels of the immunosuppressant cyclosporine, making it less effective.
Taking it with other stimulant laxatives compounds the risk of fluid and electrolyte loss.
Altogether, these interactions span 642 individual medications. Check your exact prescriptions below before you start.

For each ingredient in Siberian Rhubarb Extract 2500 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Siberian Rhubarb Root Extract
Corticosteroids
Theoretically, frequent and high doses of rhubarb might increase the risk of hypokalemia when taken with corticosteroids.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might compound corticosteroid-induced potassium loss.
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Theoretically, taking rhubarb with cyclosporine might reduce cyclosporine levels.
Animal research shows that co-administration of rhubarb decoction 0.25 or 1 gram/kg with cyclosporine 2.5 mg/kg, decreases cyclosporine maximum plasma concentration and overall exposure levels when compared with taking cyclosporine alone. The authors theorize that rhubarb might reduce cyclosporine bioavailability by inducing of P-glycoprotein and/or cytochrome P450 3A4. However, since rhubarb was administered as a single oral dose and enzyme induction usually occurs after multiple doses, it is possible that cyclosporine absorption was actually reduced via rhubarb's stimulant laxative effects. Also, the composition of the rhubarb decoction was not described.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, overuse of rhubarb might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with digoxin.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might cause potassium depletion, increasing the risk of digoxin toxicity.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, frequent and high doses of rhubarb might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Overuse of rhubarb might cause potassium depletion and compound diuretic-induced potassium loss.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of rhubarb with potentially hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of developing liver damage.
Some animal research suggests that anthraquinones in rhubarb might have hepatotoxic effects. Also, rhubarb use has been linked to at least 24 cases of liver injury, although details on the dose of rhubarb and duration of use in these cases is unclear.
Nephrotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, long-term use of anthraquinones from rhubarb might increase the risk of nephrotoxicity when used with nephrotoxic drugs.
The anthraquinone constituents of rhubarb have been shown to induce nephrotoxicity in animal research. Additionally, in a case report, a 23-year old female presented with kidney failure after taking 6 tablets of a proprietary slimming agent (found to contain the anthraquinones emodin and aloe-emodin from rhubarb) daily for 6 weeks and then adding diclofenac 25 mg 4 times daily for 2 days. The authors postulate that the anthraquinone constituents of rhubarb contributed to the renal dysfunction, and the addition of diclofenac, a nephrotoxic drug, led to renal failure. Until more is known, advise patients to avoid taking rhubarb if they are taking other potentially nephrotoxic drugs.
Stimulant Laxatives
Theoretically, rhubarb might increase the risk for fluid and electrolyte loss when taken with other stimulant laxatives.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects. Concomitant use with stimulant laxatives might compound fluid and electrolyte loss.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, excessive use of rhubarb might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Rhubarb has stimulant laxative effects and can cause diarrhea. Diarrhea can increase the effects of warfarin, increase international normalized ratio (INR), and increase the risk of bleeding. Advise patients who take warfarin not to take excessive amounts of rhubarb.
