The short answer
Medohar Guggulu is a guggulu tablet sold in India for weight management. It is not in Parts I or II of the Ayurvedic Formulary of India, and we are still checking Part III against a printed copy, so we do not list its ingredients here.
We found no clinical trial of it, though our search of the literature is not complete. Guggulu has its own interaction pages, including thyroid medicines, statins and blood thinners. If you take any of these, tell your doctor before you start it, and show them the label.
What is in it
We are checking for an official recipe in a printed copy of the Ayurvedic Formulary of India, Part III. Until that is done we do not print one. Recipes can differ between makers, so read the ingredient list on your pack.
What it is used for
- Parts I and II of the formulary have no entry under this name. What Part III lists it for, if it has an entry, is being checked along with the recipe.[1]
What the evidence says
We have not found a study of this formulation itself that we could check. That says nothing either way about whether it works.
Safety notes
- Contains guggulu, which has its own interaction pages. See Guggulu and thyroid medicines, Guggulu and statins, Guggulu and blood thinners, and Guggulu and the contraceptive pill.
- Recipes sold under this name can differ between makers. Check the ingredient list on the pack you have, and show it to your doctor.
Who makes it
Sold in India by makers including Baidyanath. We list names so you can match your bottle to this page. We do not recommend or sell any brand.

Does Medohar Guggulu help with weight loss?
We found no trial of it for weight loss, so whether it helps is not known. Our search for an official recipe is not finished either, so we cannot yet say which herbs a standard tablet should contain.

Guggulu and thyroid medicine (levothyroxine)
Guggul raised thyroid hormone in mice. The one human trial in people on levothyroxine used a multi-herb tablet and cannot show guggul's own effect.
InteractionGuggulu and cholesterol medicines (statins)
Guggul raised rosuvastatin levels in rats, and lab work suggests it speeds up an enzyme that clears some statins. We found no study in people.
InteractionGuggulu and birth control pills
A guggul compound switched on a pill-clearing liver enzyme in lab studies. We found no study or case of guggulu with the pill in people.
FormulationTriphala Guggulu
Guggulu with triphala and pippali, listed for swelling, piles and fistula. One uncontrolled study in bleeding piles; the rest is lab work.
