HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tribulus 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 a single active ingredient: certified organic Tribulus (Tribulus terrestris) dried fruit liquid extract. The only other ingredient listed is menstruum, which is the liquid used to extract the plant material.
So what you're getting is just the tribulus plant extract itself — nothing else added.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Tribulus is possibly effective for sexual dysfunction, based on the data we hold. For athletic performance, the evidence actually points the other direction — it's possibly ineffective.
For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to say one way or the other.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Tribulus is generally well tolerated over the short term in healthy adults, but long-term safety data and quality information are limited. Serious side effects are rare, though a small number of cases of liver and kidney injury, seizures, and painful erections have been reported.
More commonly, some people experience stomach upset — abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation — though in one study these complaints were no more common with tribulus than with placebo. During pregnancy, the safety data advises against it because tribulus may affect hormones and safety isn't established.
The same goes for breastfeeding — there isn't enough reliable information to know it's safe, so it's best avoided.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Herbal Terra's Tribulus, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medication, diabetes drugs, or lithium. The first two could drop your blood pressure or blood sugar too far; lithium levels could climb.
All three carry Moderate interaction risk.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're interested in tribulus for sexual function and you don't take blood pressure drugs, diabetes medication, or lithium, this may be worth discussing with your doctor or pharmacist. But even then, talk it over first if you have any heart or metabolic conditions, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
The safety data and long-term evidence are just thinner than we'd like — so your healthcare provider can help weigh whether it's right for you.

Tribulus by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbal Terra's Tribulus can interact with medications, and you'll want to check yours before starting.
The main concern is with blood pressure drugs (antihypertensives), diabetes medications, and lithium — all carry a Moderate interaction risk. Tribulus can lower blood pressure on its own, so combining it with blood pressure medications might push your numbers too low.
It can also lower blood glucose, which means taking it alongside diabetes drugs raises the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Lithium is another one to flag. Tribulus appears to have mild diuretic properties (it increases urine output), which can slow how your body clears lithium and raise its levels in your system — potentially requiring a dose adjustment.
Altogether, these interactions span 259 individual medications. We'd recommend running a quick check of your exact prescriptions using the tool on this page, or asking your doctor or pharmacist before you add this to your routine.

Antidiabetes Drugs
Taking tribulus with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Clinical research shows that Tribulus can lower blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes who are taking antidiabetes medications.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking tribulus with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that tribulus can lower blood pressure by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tribulus has also demonstrated hypotensive effects in pre-hypertensive adults.
Lithium
Theoretically, tribulus might increase the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
Tribulus is thought to have diuretic properties. Due to these potential diuretic effects, tribulus might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
