HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Cherry Bark Syrup by Red Moon Herbs
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
This liquid syrup has four active ingredients. Elecampane is included for respiratory support.
Slippery elm, the inner bark of the elm tree, is meant to soothe the throat and digestive tract. Wild cherry is the namesake ingredient, traditionally used in cough remedies.
Violet rounds out the blend, though we don't have details on its specific role in this product. The syrup is made with water, alcohol, and raw mountain honey as inactive ingredients (the base and sweetener).
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for these ingredients is limited. Elecampane and wild cherry are both rated insufficient reliable evidence for cough, which is typically what you'd use this syrup for.
Slippery elm is also rated insufficient reliable evidence for cough, as well as for constipation, diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease. In short, we don't have solid trial data showing these ingredients work for their traditional uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Elecampane is generally used in small amounts and is usually well tolerated, but it can cause allergic reactions and stomach upset in some people — especially if you're sensitive to the ragweed/daisy family of plants. At high doses, it may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and spasms.
Slippery elm is generally well tolerated for short-term use, though high-quality safety data are limited; it may rarely cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions. Wild cherry is considered safe in the small amounts found in commercial cough products, but the plant contains cyanide-forming compounds.
Large amounts can lead to cyanide toxicity, which is serious.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, double-check any oral medications you take — slippery elm may slow their absorption. Also flag any CNS depressants (sedatives, some pain relievers) because of elecampane's potential additive effect, and any drugs your liver metabolizes via the CYP3A4 pathway because wild cherry may raise their levels.
Use the medication checker on this page with your exact drug names.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This is a traditional herbal cough syrup, but the evidence that it actually works is sparse. If you take oral medications, CNS depressants, or drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP3A4 system, check your specific medications with the tool on this page before starting.
Talk to your pharmacist if you have allergies to ragweed or related plants, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take prescription medications.

Wild Cherry Bark Syrup by Red Moon Herbs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Red Moon Herbs Wild Cherry Bark Syrup contains four ingredients, three of which we've checked for interactions.
Two drugs are affected overall, though the interactions span different medication types.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Elecampane may add to the sedative effects of CNS depressants (drugs that slow your brain and nervous system, like sedatives and some pain relievers). The effect is theoretical based on elecampane's own sedative properties, but it's a Moderate concern.
Slippery elm may slow how your body absorbs oral drugs taken by mouth. Its mucilage content can get in the way of absorption, potentially lowering the levels of certain medications in your bloodstream — a Moderate interaction with oral drugs generally.
Wild cherry theoretically may raise levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 enzymes (a liver system that breaks down many medications), though this hasn't been reported in actual patients. This is also Moderate.
Violet, one of the four ingredients, we could not check — we hold no data for it. Run your exact medications through the checker on this page to see if any are affected.
