HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stone Blaster by L.A. Naturals
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
Low disclosure
Stone Blaster contains one active ingredient: selectively imported chanca piedra, a plant used in traditional medicine. The product also includes USP grain alcohol and deionized water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract in liquid form.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Chanca piedra is possibly effective for kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) based on available evidence. For other uses—hepatitis B is likely ineffective, and evidence for anemia of chronic disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) is insufficient to rate at this time.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Chanca piedra appears generally well tolerated in the short term, but high-quality safety research is limited. The most commonly reported side effects are abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting; fatigue has also been reported in one trial.
The product should be avoided during pregnancy—not enough safety data exists to know it's safe. Similarly, there isn't enough information to recommend it while breastfeeding; talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Stone Blaster, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, diuretics, lithium, blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or any drug that gets processed through your liver (CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 substrates—your pharmacist can tell you which of your medications fall into these groups).
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Stone Blaster may be worth considering if you're dealing with kidney stones and want to explore a traditional herbal approach, but it carries moderate interaction risks with blood thinners, diuretics, lithium, and many other medications your body metabolizes through the liver. If you take any regular prescription medication—especially heart, blood pressure, diabetes, or blood-thinning drugs—clear this product with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
Pregnant and nursing people should avoid it.

Stone Blaster by L.A. Naturals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Stone Blaster by L.A.
Naturals, which contains chanca piedra, has documented interactions with a range of medications. The most serious concern is a moderate-severity interaction with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin and aspirin), where chanca piedra may theoretically increase bleeding risk based on lab research showing it can slow platelet clotting—though this hasn't been confirmed in people.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Chanca piedra also interacts moderately with diuretics (water pills), lithium, the blood-pressure drug norepinephrine (Levophed), and two broad classes of drugs your liver metabolizes: CYP1A2 substrates (including some antidepressants and pain relievers) and CYP3A4 substrates (a large group that includes statins, certain blood pressure medications, and many others). The liver interaction effects work in opposite directions—CYP1A2 drugs may become less effective, while CYP3A4 drugs may become stronger.
Minor interactions are documented with blood pressure medications (additive lowering effect) and diabetes drugs (theoretically increased low blood sugar risk, though a small trial didn't show this effect). Altogether, these interactions span 1,021 individual medications.
Before you start Stone Blaster, run your exact medications through the checker on this page or talk with your doctor or pharmacist—especially if you take any blood thinner, diuretic, heart or blood pressure medication, diabetes drug, or any prescription that gets broken down by your liver.

selectively imported Chanca piedra
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase the risk of bleeding when used concomitantly with anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research suggests that methyl brevifolincarboxylate, a constituent isolated from chanca piedra, can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, chanca piedra might reduce the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that chanca piedra extract increases CYP1A2 activity. Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase metabolism of CYP1A2 substrates and lower serum concentrations. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, use of chanca piedra might increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research shows that chanca piedra extract inhibits CYP3A4. Theoretically, chanca piedra might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of chanca piedra with diuretics might increase diuresis.
Some preliminary clinical research in adults with hypertension shows that chanca piedra has diuretic properties. However, higher quality research in adults with kidney stones shows taking chanca piedra does not increase urine volume when compared with placebo. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking diuretic drugs.
Lithium
Theoretically, chanca piedra might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Some preliminary clinical research in adults with hypertension shows that chanca piedra has diuretic properties. However, higher quality research in adults with kidney stones shows that taking chanca piedra does not increase urine volume when compared with placebo. Until more is known, use cautiously in patients taking lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Norepinephrine (Levophed)
Theoretically, chanca piedra may reduce the effects of norepinephrine.
Animal research suggests that methyl brevifolincarboxylate, a constituent isolated from chanca piedra, can reverse blood vessel contraction caused by norepinephrine.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use with antidiabetes drugs might affect glucose control and increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that chanca piedra can have hypoglycemic effects. However, a small clinical study in adults with diabetes shows that chanca piedra extract 25 grams orally daily for 1 week does not lower fasting or postprandial blood glucose levels.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of chanca piedra with antihypertensive drugs might have additive blood pressure lowering effects.
Animal research suggests that chanca piedra can decrease blood pressure. However, this effect was not observed in most hypertensive patients treated with chanca piedra for 10 days.
