Andrographis 10% is a supplement made from the extract of the Andrographis paniculata plant. It is believed to have several health benefits, including:

- Rheumatoid arthritis relief: Andrographolides, the active compounds in Andrographis, have been shown to improve rheumatoid arthritis symptoms such as swelling and tenderness.
There are several case studies regarding the benefits of Andrographis 10%. For example, a study involving HIV patients reported dose-related toxicity such as headaches, fatigue, rash, nausea, diarrhea, pruritus, and others. However, another study found that the administration of A. paniculata at the usual recommended dosage showed safety and good tolerability, with no adverse effects reported during the studies.
The recommended dosage for Andrographis 10% is up to 340 mg daily for up to 12 months when taken by mouth. However, side effects such as diarrhea, vomiting, rash, headache, runny nose, and fatigue are possible with higher doses. It is also important to note that semi-solid formulations of Andrographis can cause allergies or skin reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before taking Andrographis 10%.
