HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stinging Nettle Sugar Free Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra
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: stinging nettle root extract in dry form. The extract is mixed with glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to create the liquid preparation.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for stinging nettle in managing diabetes is possibly effective based on clinical research showing it may lower blood sugar levels. For other uses—hay fever, anemia, asthma, enlarged prostate, and gum disease—the reliable evidence isn't established enough for us to rate it either way.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Stinging nettle is generally well tolerated by most adults when used as directed, though quality varies by product. The most common side effects when taken by mouth are constipation or diarrhea.
Topical contact with the fresh plant can cause itching, rash, and stinging; in rare cases, even severe swelling has been reported. You should avoid this product if you're pregnant—there isn't enough safety data, and traditional concerns about its effects on the uterus mean it's best to skip it.
Safety during breastfeeding hasn't been established either, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners like warfarin, diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), or lithium. These are the main medication types that interact with stinging nettle, and you may need dose adjustments or closer monitoring.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you have diabetes and want to explore herbal support for blood sugar, stinging nettle may be worth a conversation with your pharmacist—but only if you're not on blood thinners, water pills, or lithium. Anyone taking those medications should check with us first.
Pregnant or nursing? Skip this one until you've talked it over.

Stinging Nettle Sugar Free Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Stinging Nettle Sugar Free Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra does interact with several medication types, and you'll want to check your prescriptions before starting it.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The biggest concern is with blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin). Stinging nettle is high in vitamin K, which can reduce how well these drugs work.
If you're on a blood thinner, this one needs a pharmacist sign-off before you use it.
You should also be cautious if you take diabetes medications, water pills (diuretics), or lithium. Stinging nettle may lower blood sugar on its own, so combining it with diabetes drugs could cause your blood sugar to drop too far.
Water pills and this supplement might have overlapping effects on your body's fluid balance. With lithium specifically, stinging nettle's diuretic properties might change how your body clears the drug, potentially raising lithium levels—something your doctor watches closely.
Altogether, these interactions span 163 individual medications. Run your exact prescriptions through the checker on this page before you add this supplement.

Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Dry
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.
