While andrographis is usually considered safe concentrated (standardised with andrographolides) andrographis products, particularly ones using methanol as a solvent, have had adverse effects reported to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) such as taste disturbance and anaphylactic/allergic reactions. It should be noted that the TGA advisory committee stated that in the more traditional uses of andrographis the extract is used in lower concentrations and such products have not been implicated in adverse drug reactions. Traditional preparations include dried plant material, infusions, decoctions and tinctures with extract ratios of between 1:1 and 1:6.
