Below is general information about the safety of the known ingredients contained in the product Tri-Immune. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
LIKELY SAFE ...when used orally and appropriately, short-term. Andrographis has been used with apparent safety in doses of up to 6 grams daily for up to 7 days. Andrographis extract has been used with apparent safety at doses of up to 340 mg daily for up to 12 months, 600 mg daily for up to 3 months, or 1200 mg daily for up to 8 weeks (2748,31220,31223,31231,91838,91839,101116). Andrographolide, a constituent of andrographis, has been used with apparent safety at a dose of 280 mg daily for 24 months (104821). A specific combination product containing andrographis extract 178-206 mg and eleuthero (Kan Jang, Swedish Herbal Institute) has been taken three times daily with apparent safety for up to 4-7 days (2744,2748,2773,2774,10441,10795,13016).
CHILDREN: POSSIBLY SAFE
when used orally and appropriately, short-term.
Andrographis, in combination with other herbs, has been used with apparent safety in clinical trials at doses up to 48 mg daily in children 3-15 years of age for up to one month (12381,12382).
PREGNANCY: POSSIBLY UNSAFE
when used orally.
Andrographis is thought to have abortifacient effects (12); avoid using.
LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; avoid using.
LIKELY SAFE ...when olive fruit is used orally and appropriately in amounts commonly found in foods.
POSSIBLY SAFE ...when olive leaf extract is used orally and appropriately. Olive leaf extract providing 51-100 mg oleuropein daily has been used with apparent safety for 6-8 weeks (92245,92247,101860). There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of olive fruit extract when used in amounts greater than those found in foods.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION:
Insufficient reliable information available; stick with amounts commonly found in foods.
Below is general information about the interactions of the known ingredients contained in the product Tri-Immune. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
Theoretically, andrographis extract might increase the maximum concentration and decrease the area under the curve of aceclofenac. The clinical significance of these changes is unclear.
Details
Animal research suggests that andrographis extract taken orally increases the maximum concentration and decreases the area under the curve of aceclofenac (112916).
|
Theoretically, andrographis might increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, andrographis might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Details
|
Theoretically, andrographis extract might increase the maximum concentration and time to peak concentration of celecoxib. The clinical significance of these changes is unclear.
Details
Animal research suggests that andrographis extract taken orally increases the maximum concentration and time to peak concentration of celecoxib but does not appear to impact the area under the curve (112916).
|
Theoretically, andrographis might decrease the absorption of etoricoxib, although the clinical significance is unclear.
Details
Animal research shows that andrographis extract, or the constituent andrographolide, taken orally with etoricoxib decreases the bioavailability of etoricoxib. However, this reduced bioavailability is not correlated with a reduction in the anti-inflammatory effects of etoricoxib in arthritic mice models (91837). The clinical significance of this interaction is unclear.
|
Theoretically, andrographis extract might increase the maximum concentration and area under the curve of glipizide; however, opposite effects are seen with the constituent, andrographolide. The clinical significance of this interaction is unclear.
Details
Animal research suggests that andrographis extract taken orally with glipizide in diabetes-induced rats increases the maximum concentration and area under the curve of glipizide. However, the opposite effect is seen with the constituent, andrographolide, in which the maximum concentration and area under the curve are decreased when taken with glipizide (112917).
|
Theoretically, andrographis might interfere with the effects of immunosuppressive drugs.
Details
Laboratory research suggests that andrographolide has immunostimulant activity (2766).

Below is general information about the adverse effects of the known ingredients contained in the product Tri-Immune. Some ingredients may not be listed. This information does NOT represent a recommendation for or a test of this specific product as a whole.
General
...Orally, andrographis is generally well tolerated.
Adverse effects are more likely when doses reach or exceed 5-10 mg/kg of andrographolide content and when treatment duration exceeds 14 days.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Abdominal discomfort, altered taste, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, headache, nausea and vomiting, pruritus, rash, and urticaria.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):
Orally: Severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis.
Cardiovascular ...Orally, andrographis has been reported to cause vasculitis, edema, and increased sweating (12380,13016,91841).
Dermatologic
...Orally, andrographis has been frequently reported to cause maculopapular, erythematous rash, pruritus, and urticaria (31223,31222,31233,12380,31231,31220,13016,91838,91841,104821)(107783,112921).

Parenterally, there have been reports of maculopapular rash, urticaria, pruritus, and flushing with the use of andrographolide derivative injections; about one-third of patients experienced skin or subcutaneous reactions (112921).
Gastrointestinal
...Orally, andrographis has been reported to cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dyspepsia, flatulence, altered or metallic taste, and abdominal discomfort (6767,31213,2748,13016,31220,31222,91841,104821,107783,112921).

Immunologic
...Orally, andrographis has been reported to cause anaphylactic shock in 2 cases with determined causality, and 7 cases with probable causality.
Anaphylactic shock developed in 5 minutes to one day after oral intake, and included symptoms such as hypotension, chest pain, urticaria, angioedema, wheezing, and tachycardia (91841). Additionally, andrographis intake has been associated with cases of eosinophilia and fever (91841,107783). High doses of the andrographolide constituent (5-10 mg/kg daily) have been associated with two cases of lymphadenopathy and three cases of lymph node pain (6767).
Parenterally, there have been 97 cases reporting severe or life-threatening anaphylaxis after andrographolide derivative injections, 3 of which resulted in death (112921).
Musculoskeletal ...Orally, andrographis has been associated with case reports of pain, muscle weakness, cramps, and paralysis (31220,91841,107783).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, andrographis has been reported to cause headache, fatigue, anorexia, somnolence, insomnia, lethargy, malaise, and drowsiness (2748,5784,6767,10795,12380,13016,31220,31213,31222,91841,107783). Headache and fatigue occurred more often with high doses of the andrographolide constituent (5-10 mg/kg daily) in one clinical trial (6767).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Orally, andrographis has been reported to cause dyspnea, coughing, bronchospasm, increased sputum, and nasal congestion (10795,13016,31213,91841,107783).
General
...Orally, olive fruit is well tolerated when used in typical food amounts.
Olive leaf extract seems to be well tolerated.
Most Common Adverse Effects:
Orally: Headache and stomach discomfort.
Dermatologic ...Orally, one patient in one clinical trial reported bad skin and acne after using olive leaf extract (101860).
Gastrointestinal ...Orally, three patients in one clinical trial reported stomach ache after using olive leaf extract (101860).
Neurologic/CNS ...Orally, three patients in one clinical trial reported headache after using olive leaf extract (101860).
Psychiatric ...In one case report, a 67-year-old female experienced irritability, anger, a lack of control, and feelings of sadness and negativity after consuming a multi-ingredient product containing olive leaf extract 5 grams, horseradish root, and eyebright daily for 38 days. All psychiatric symptoms disappeared within days of stopping the combined product. It is hypothesized that the hydroxytyrosol component of olive leaf extract contributed to these symptoms due to its chemical similarity to dopamine; however, it is not clear if these symptoms were due to the olive leaf extract or to the other ingredients (96245).
Pulmonary/Respiratory ...Olive tree pollen can cause seasonal respiratory allergy (1543).
