HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tabebuia Spp. Pau D'Arco by Wise Woman Herbals

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (3 mL) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 1 active ingredient: pau d'arco, a tree bark used in traditional medicine for various purposes including support for wound healing and menstrual discomfort. The liquid form also includes spring water, alcohol, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Pau D'arco product and its label doesn't state a use — see Pau D'arco's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that pau d'arco works for cancer, peptic ulcers, wound healing, or dysmenorrhea — all four uses show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean the herb is ineffective; it means the clinical research behind it isn't solid enough yet for us to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Pau D'arco

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Pau d'arco is generally well tolerated at lower doses, but human safety data is limited and higher doses carry real concerns. At doses above 1.5 grams daily of lapachol (the active compound), the herb can cause anemia, bleeding, severe nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to possible harm to the developing baby and lack of safety information. There isn't enough data to know if it's safe while breastfeeding, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before use.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Pau D'arco.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check this product against any blood thinners or antiplatelet medications you take — warfarin, apixaban, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, heparin, clopidogrel, ticagrelor, aspirin, and similar drugs. The pau d'arco in this liquid may increase your bleeding risk at doses above 1.5 grams daily.

Theoretically, pau d'arco might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that pau d'arco reduces platelet aggregation and may interfere with vitamin K. One clinical study shows that taking the lapachol constituent of pau d'arco in doses above 1.5 grams daily increases the risk of bleeding. The effects of whole pau d'arco or pau d'arco extract in humans are unclear.
