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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (700 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 5 active ingredients in a proprietary blend: wormwood, black walnut, quassia, clove, and male fern. The capsule shell is an inactive ingredient (the container the blend comes in).

Each of these herbs has been used traditionally for different purposes—wormwood for digestive and biliary concerns, black walnut for various conditions, quassia for skin and parasitic issues, clove for pain and cough, and male fern historically for parasite infections. The product comes as a capsule for easy dosing.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: intestinal parasite and digestive support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Intestinal parasite infection, Dyspepsia, Diarrhea, Flatulence, Nausea and vomiting, Crohn disease — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Clove is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Clove is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Nausea and vomiting.
  • Also on file: Male Fern is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Intestinal parasite infection.

The evidence supporting these ingredients is limited. Wormwood has insufficient reliable evidence for biliary disorders, Crohn disease, depression, dyspepsia, and osteoarthritis.

Black walnut shows insufficient evidence for heart disease and wound healing. Quassia is similarly unproven for seborrheic dermatitis, lice, rosacea, and other uses.

Clove is possibly effective for ventilator-associated pneumonia (a serious lung infection in hospitalized patients), but has insufficient evidence for cough, acute pain, and dyspepsia. Male fern lacks reliable evidence for hemorrhoids, intestinal parasites, rheumatoid arthritis, and wound healing.

Overall, the data we hold does not establish that this combination is effective for any condition.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Wormwood Black Walnut Quassia Clove Male Fern

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

These ingredients carry real safety concerns, especially with longer use or larger doses. Wormwood contains thujone, a neurotoxin that can cause nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, and in rare cases acute kidney damage, rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), and seizures.

Male fern is potentially toxic with a narrow margin between an effective and poisonous dose—it can cause headaches, nausea, diarrhea, tremors, vision changes, and serious effects like seizures, cardiac failure, and even death. Black walnut's leaf, bark, and hull contain tannins that may cause gastrointestinal upset and, in rare cases, skin or allergic reactions (it is a tree nut allergen).

Quassia can irritate the digestive tract, cause nausea and vomiting, and with long-term use may cause vision changes. Clove is safe as a food spice but concentrated clove oil can be toxic—even small amounts (5–10 mL) can harm children.

Wormwood is unsafe in pregnancy (may stimulate the uterus) and should be avoided while breastfeeding. Black walnut and quassia lack sufficient safety data in pregnancy and lactation and should be avoided.

Male fern is considered unsafe in pregnancy and lactation due to toxicity. Clove is likely safe in food amounts during pregnancy and lactation, but medicinal doses need your doctor's clearance.

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?
  • 3 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Clove, Quassia, Wormwood.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; seizure medications; diabetes medications; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 1,090 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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take seizure medications (anticonvulsants), since wormwood may reduce their effectiveness. Also flag any diabetes drugs, blood pressure or heart medications (especially digoxin), diuretics, blood thinners, or acid-reducing drugs (H2-blockers, antacids, or PPIs)—quassia and clove interact with these.

The combination of ingredients, doses, and your individual health make it essential to run through your medication list with your own healthcare provider.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product mixes five botanical ingredients with limited evidence of benefit and real safety concerns—especially male fern and wormwood, which carry toxicity risks. If you take anticonvulsants, diabetes drugs, heart medications, diuretics, or blood thinners, this product could interfere with how they work.

Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting it, particularly if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any prescription medications.

Clove7 drug types · 977 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, concomitant use of clove extracts with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical and laboratory research suggest that polyphenol extracts from clove flower buds might lower blood glucose levels. Dosing adjustments for insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents may be necessary when taken with clove. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, can inhibit CYP1A2 in a dose-dependent manner,. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, inhibits CYP2C9 in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, can inhibit CYP2D6 in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, concomitant use of clove may increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that eugenol, the principal constituent of clove, can inhibit CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, clove oil may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that eugenol, a constituent of clove, has antiplatelet activity. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Ibuprofen (Advil, Others)

Theoretically, topical application of clove oil with ibuprofen might increase the absorption and side effects of topical ibuprofen.
Laboratory research shows that topical application of clove oil increases the absorption of topical ibuprofen. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Clove full monograph & interactions

Quassia6 drug types · 198 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

In animals, quassia extract reduced levels of fasting glucose. Theoretically, quassia might have additive effects when used with antidiabetes drugs. This might increase the risk of hypoglycemia in some patients. Monitor blood glucose levels closely.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, metformin (Glucophage), pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, concomitant use with cardiac medications might increase the risk of therapeutic and adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Overuse of quassia might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. There is some concern that people taking quassia along with potassium depleting diuretics might have an increased risk for hypokalemia. Initiation of potassium supplementation or an increase in potassium supplement dose may be necessary for some patients.
Some diuretics that can deplete potassium include chlorothiazide (Diuril), chlorthalidone (Thalitone), furosemide (Lasix), and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ, Hydrodiuril, Microzide), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antacids

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of antacids.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
H2-Blockers

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of H2-blockers. The H2 blockers include cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), nizatidine (Axid), and famotidine (Pepcid).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Proton Pump Inhibitors (Ppis)

Theoretically, due to reports that quassia increases stomach acid, quassia might decrease the effectiveness of PPIs. PPIs include omeprazole (Prilosec), lansoprazole (Prevacid), rabeprazole (Aciphex), pantoprazole (Protonix), and esomeprazole (Nexium).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quassia full monograph & interactions

Wormwood1 drug type · 50 drugs

Anticonvulsants

Theoretically, taking wormwood might interfere with the effects of anticonvulsant drugs.
Thujone, a constituent of wormwood, has convulsant effects.

The Original Wormwood Combination by Kroeger Herb Products Co.: Common Questions

Does The Original Wormwood Combination by Kroeger Herb Products Co. interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, The Original Wormwood Combination has a known interaction with 1,089 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
The Original Wormwood Combination contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is this product safe to take during pregnancy?
No. Wormwood may stimulate the uterus and is considered unsafe in pregnancy. Black walnut and quassia lack enough safety information and should be avoided. Male fern is considered unsafe due to toxicity. The only ingredient rated likely safe is clove, but in food amounts only. Do not take this product if you are pregnant without clearing it with your doctor.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
No. Wormwood should be avoided—there isn't enough safety data. Black walnut, quassia, and male fern all lack sufficient information and should be avoided while nursing. Only clove is rated likely safe in food amounts. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before considering this product.
What is wormwood in this product for?
Wormwood has been used traditionally for biliary (bile and liver) disorders, Crohn disease, depression, upset stomach, and arthritis. However, the evidence supporting these uses is insufficient—meaning we don't have reliable data proving it works. Wormwood also carries toxicity risks from its thujone content.
What are the most common side effects I might notice?
From wormwood, you might experience nausea, vomiting, or muscle aches. Black walnut's leaf, bark, or hull can cause gastrointestinal upset. Quassia can cause nausea and digestive irritation. Clove is safe as a spice but concentrated doses can irritate mucous membranes. Male fern can cause nausea, diarrhea, headaches, tremors, and dizziness. Serious effects are rare but possible—if you experience vision changes, seizures, or severe symptoms, stop and seek medical help.
How does this interact with my blood sugar medication?
Both quassia and clove may lower blood glucose, meaning they could add to the effects of your diabetes drug and raise the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your blood sugar levels may need close monitoring, and your doctor may need to adjust your dose. Discuss this with your prescriber before starting.
Can I take this with my diuretic (water pill)?
Quassia in this product may worsen potassium loss from certain diuretics, increasing the risk of low potassium (hypokalemia), which can affect your heart rhythm and muscle function. Your doctor may need to monitor your potassium levels or adjust your supplement dose. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
