HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stinging Nettle Leaf by Herbalist & Alchemist
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: dried stinging nettle leaf extract. The liquid form also contains distilled water and ethyl alcohol as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
Stinging nettle has been studied most for diabetes, where evidence suggests it may possibly be effective at helping to lower blood sugar. For hay fever, anemia, asthma, benign prostate enlargement, and gum inflammation, the evidence is currently insufficient to rate whether it works or not.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally, stinging nettle is generally well tolerated when used as directed, though quality and evidence vary by product. The most common side effects from taking it by mouth are constipation or diarrhea.
There's one case report of liver disease in someone taking an herbal detox tea that contained stinging nettle along with other ingredients — a rare event, but worth knowing about. If you touch the raw plant directly on your skin, it causes itching, rash, and stinging; fresh leaves placed in the mouth can cause severe swelling and pain.
Stinging nettle is not recommended during pregnancy due to traditional concerns about effects on the uterus and insufficient safety data. It should also be avoided while breastfeeding until you speak with your doctor or pharmacist, as safety during lactation has not been established.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners (especially warfarin), diabetes medications, diuretics (water pills), or lithium. All four have moderate-level concerns with stinging nettle.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Stinging nettle may help with blood sugar if you have diabetes, though the evidence is best established for that use. If you take a blood thinner, diabetes drug, water pill, or lithium, talk to your pharmacist before starting — this product can affect how those work.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it until you've checked with your doctor.

Stinging Nettle Leaf by Herbalist & Alchemist Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Stinging Nettle Leaf by Herbalist & Alchemist can interact with several important medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulants) like warfarin — stinging nettle is high in vitamin K, which in large amounts may reduce how well these drugs work to prevent clots.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check this before combining it with diabetes medications (blood-sugar lowering drugs) or diuretics (water pills). Stinging nettle appears to lower blood sugar itself, so together with diabetes drugs there's a risk of blood sugar dropping too low.
Similarly, because stinging nettle has mild diuretic properties, combining it with prescribed water pills may amplify that effect.
Finally, if you take lithium for mood or psychiatric conditions, stinging nettle may reduce how your body clears it, raising lithium levels in your blood — something that needs careful monitoring. Altogether, these interactions span 163 individual medications.

Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, stinging nettle might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that stinging nettle might decrease blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, combining stinging nettle with diuretic drugs may have additive effects.
Animal research suggests that the above ground parts and roots of stinging nettle may have a diuretic effect.
Lithium
Theoretically, stinging nettle might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stinging nettle has diuretic and natriuretic properties, which could alter the excretion of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
There is some concern that stinging nettle might decrease the effects of anticoagulant drugs such as warfarin.
Stinging nettle contains a significant amount of vitamin K. When taken in large quantities, this might interfere with the activity of warfarin.
