HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Solomon's Seal by Hawaii 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: Solomon's Seal rhizome extract in dry form, delivered in a liquid base. The inactive ingredients are alcohol, water, and glycerin — standard carriers for herbal liquid extracts.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We don't hold effectiveness data for Solomon's Seal in our records, so we can't tell you whether it works for any particular purpose.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Limited safety data exists in people, so you'll want to use it carefully and choose reputable products. Long-term use has been reported to cause gastrointestinal irritation; large doses or overdoses may bring on nausea, diarrhea, and other stomach complaints.
Safety has not been established in pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it if you're pregnant. There isn't enough information to consider it safe while breastfeeding either.
If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take insulin, chlorpropamide (Diabinese), or any other antidiabetes medication, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Solomon's Seal. This product may enhance how well your diabetes drug works, which could lower your blood sugar too much and may require a dose adjustment.
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.
Solomon's Seal may be worth considering if you're interested in herbal support, but the main caution is diabetes medications — particularly insulin and chlorpropamide — which may need dose adjustments. If you take any blood-sugar-lowering drug, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and watch for signs of low blood sugar like shakiness, sweating, or confusion.
It's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
