HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tian Qi Teapills by Plum Flower

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,320 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Tian Qi Teapills contains one active ingredient: Panax notoginseng extract, a traditional Chinese medicine ingredient used for heart and circulation concerns. The tablet also includes inactive ingredients — talcum, activated carbon, and China wax — which serve as binders and flow agents.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Bleeding and bruising, heart and circulation health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Angina, Atherosclerosis, Bleeding, Bruises, Coronary heart disease (CHD), Hypertension — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Panax Notoginseng is rated "Possibly Effective" for Angina (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Panax Notoginseng is rated "Possibly Effective" for Intracranial hemorrhage, Stroke.
  • Also on file: Panax Notoginseng is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Myocardial infarction (MI).

Panax notoginseng extract is possibly effective for angina (chest pain) and stroke according to the data we hold. For heart attack (myocardial infarction), the evidence suggests it's likely ineffective.

For nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH), there isn't enough reliable evidence to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Panax Notoginseng

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.

Panax notoginseng is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth. The most common side effects include dry mouth, flushed skin, insomnia, nausea, nervousness, rash, and vomiting.

Serious side effects are rare but have included fever and pustular skin eruptions when given intravenously. Do not use this product during pregnancy or breastfeeding — the safety data advise against it.

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 — Panax Notoginseng.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 207 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 starting Tian Qi Teapills, check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or aspirin — both carry Moderate interaction risk. Also verify any medications broken down by your liver's CYP1A2 pathway and caffeine-containing products.

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.

Tian Qi Teapills may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional support for angina or stroke prevention — but only after you've checked it against your current medications with a pharmacist. If you take warfarin, aspirin, or medications metabolized by your liver, hold off until you've cleared it.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? This one isn't for you right now.

Panax notoginseng extract4 drug types · 207 drugs

Aspirin

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng concomitantly with aspirin may increase the risk of adverse effects from both products.
Animal research shows that taking Panax notoginseng extract with aspirin increases blood levels of salicylic acid by approximately 50% and blood levels of Panax notoginseng by 75% to 196%. This effect may be due to increased absorption of both products.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Caffeine

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng may decrease the levels and clinical effects of caffeine.
Animal research shows that administering Panax notoginseng intravenously for 7 days before intraperitoneal injection of caffeine can decrease maximal blood levels of caffeine by 37%. This interaction is attributed to the ability of Panax notoginseng to increase the activity of cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzymes.

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

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng might reduce the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
Animal research shows that administering Panax notoginseng intravenously for 7 days before intraperitoneal injection of caffeine can decrease maximal blood levels of caffeine by 37%. This interaction was attributed to the ability of Panax notoginseng to increase the activity of CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, taking Panax notoginseng concomitantly with warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding.
Animal research shows that taking Panax notoginseng concomitantly with warfarin increases plasma warfarin levels, prothrombin time, and international normalized ratio when compared with control. In vitro research also suggests that Panax notoginseng may downregulate expression of cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes, which may affect warfarin metabolism.

Tian Qi Teapills by Plum Flower: Common Questions

Does Tian Qi Teapills by Plum Flower interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tian Qi Teapills has a known interaction with 207 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tian Qi Teapills contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 Panax notoginseng the same thing as ginseng?
No — they're different plants. Panax notoginseng is also called Tian Qi or pseudo-ginseng and comes from China. It's not the same as American ginseng or Korean ginseng, even though they're all in the ginseng family.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most people report dry mouth, nausea, insomnia, nervousness, or rash. These are usually mild. If you notice severe bleeding, severe allergic reactions, or fever, stop and call your doctor.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
No — the safety data advise against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
Does this product actually work for angina?
The evidence says it's possibly effective — meaning there's some research support, but it's not definitive. Talk with your cardiologist about whether it makes sense for your specific situation.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Panax notoginseng can affect how your liver breaks down drugs and can also increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or blood thinning herbs. These effects touch a lot of different medication types.
