HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Aquatrol by Viva Vitamins

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
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (320 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Aquatrol contains four active herbal ingredients: buchu leaf, parsley leaf and root, uva ursi (also called bearberry leaf), and juniper berries extract. These are traditionally used as diuretics and to support urinary tract health, though the evidence for their effectiveness is limited or not well established.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients—dibasic phosphate and vegetable cellulose—used as binders and capsule material.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: support increased fluid elimination and reduce bloating.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), fluid retention, water retention, edema.
  • The closest evidence on file: Uva Ursi is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Juniper is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Also on file: Parsley is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs).

The evidence for what Aquatrol does is thin. For urinary tract infections, buchu, parsley, and juniper berries are all rated insufficient reliable evidence—we don't have solid proof they work.

Uva ursi is rated possibly ineffective for UTIs. The other uses listed for these ingredients (like melasma, osteoarthritis, bronchitis, and wound healing) also lack established evidence in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Buchu Parsley Uva Ursi Juniper

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 3 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Buchu is generally well tolerated at food doses, but medicinal doses don't have strong safety data and the essential oil can irritate. Parsley is safe in normal food amounts, but concentrated extracts and seeds may not be.

At very high doses (200 grams of parsley oil or 10+ grams of its constituents), serious effects like hemolytic anemia and paralysis have been reported, though these are rare. Uva ursi is well tolerated short-term in low doses but is toxic in high doses or with long-term use; at 20 grams or more it can cause convulsions and delirium.

Juniper is generally tolerated short-term in food amounts, but medicinal doses may irritate the kidneys and shouldn't be used long-term. All four ingredients are rated likely unsafe or unsafe in pregnancy and should be avoided; none have sufficient safety data for breastfeeding.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Buchu, Uva Ursi, Juniper, Parsley.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 1,196 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take Aquatrol, double-check blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs like warfarin and aspirin), liver-affecting drugs, lithium, diabetes medications, diuretics, CYP1A2 substrates and other liver-processed drugs, sedatives like pentobarbital, the transplant drug sirolimus, and urine-acidifying medications. These are the drug classes where documented moderate to minor interactions exist with one or more of the herbs in this product.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Aquatrol with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Uva Ursi6 drug types · 803 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit cytochrome CYP2C19. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase levels of drugs metabolized by glucuronidation.
In vitro, uva ursi extract appears to strongly inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1). However, uva ursi extract does not appear to inhibit UGT1A1 in animal models. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase lithium levels, necessitating a decrease in dose.
Uva ursi may have diuretic properties. Diuretics may increase lithium reabsorption with sodium in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Theoretically, uva ursi might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Urinary Acidifying Agents

Effects of uva ursi in the urinary tract may be reduced by urinary acidifying agents.
Uva ursi seems to work best in alkaline urine. Theoretically, taking uva ursi with medications known to acidify the urine may decrease any effects of uva ursi on the urinary tract.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may alter the levels of drugs transported by P-glycoprotein.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Uva Ursi full monograph & interactions

Buchu3 drug types · 481 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Buchu may have antiplatelet effects. Theoretically, buchu may enhance the effects of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs and increase the risk of bleeding in some patients. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Hepatotoxic Drugs

Buchu contains pulegone, a known hepatotoxin. There is some concern that buchu may adversely affect the liver, especially when the leaf is used in large doses or the oil is ingested. Theoretically, concomitant use with hepatotoxic drugs might increase the risk of liver damage. Some of these drugs include acarbose (Precose, Prandase), amiodarone (Cordarone), atorvastatin (Lipitor), azathioprine (Imuran), carbamazepine (Tegretol), cerivastatin (Baycol), diclofenac (Voltaren), felbamate (Felbatol), fenofibrate (Tricor), fluvastatin (Lescol), gemfibrozil (Lopid), isoniazid, itraconazole, (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), leflunomide (Arava), lovastatin (Mevacor), methotrexate (Rheumatrex), nevirapine (Viramune), niacin, nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin), pioglitazone (Actos), pravastatin (Pravachol), pyrazinamide, rifampin (Rifadin), ritonavir (Norvir), rosiglitazone (Avandia), simvastatin (Zocor), tacrine (Cognex), tamoxifen, terbinafine (Lamisil), valproic acid, and zileuton (Zyflo)

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Buchu is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, buchu might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Buchu full monograph & interactions

Parsley8 drug types · 443 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley has antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley might decrease blood glucose. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, parsley might increase serum levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
Laboratory research suggests that parsley can inhibit CYP1A2.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Diuretic Drugs

Theoretically, parsley might enhance or interfere with the effects of diuretic drugs.
Animal research suggests that parsley seed extract increases urine elimination. Parsley leaf and root might also interfere with diuretic therapy due their purported aquaretic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Pentobarbital (Nembutal)

Theoretically, parsley might increase the duration of pentobarbital effects.
Animal research suggests that parsley juice prolongs the action of pentobarbital, perhaps by decreasing cytochrome P450 levels. It is not known if this occurs in humans or if this applies to other barbiturates or sedatives.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sirolimus (Rapamune)

Theoretically, large quantities of parsley might increase sirolimus levels.
In one case report, an adult female with a history of kidney transplant presented with elevated blood sirolimus levels, approximately 4-7 times greater than previous measures, after daily consumption of a juice containing approximately 30 grams of parsley for 7 days. Sirolimus levels returned to normal a week after the parsley juice was discontinued.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, large amounts of parsley leaf and root might decrease the effects of warfarin.
Parlsey contains vitamin K.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Aspirin

Theoretically, aspirin might increase the severity of allergic reactions to parsley.
In one case, severe urticaria and swelling were reported after taking aspirin with parsley in an individual with a known mild parsley allergy.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D

Aquatrol by Viva Vitamins: Common Questions

Does Aquatrol by Viva Vitamins interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Aquatrol has a known interaction with 1,195 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Aquatrol contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take Aquatrol if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Buchu, parsley, and uva ursi are all rated likely unsafe in pregnancy because they're traditionally thought to affect the uterus. Juniper is rated unsafe in pregnancy. None of these ingredients have enough safety data for breastfeeding—the safety information either warns against it or shows insufficient data. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about what's safe for you.
What are the most common side effects?
Parsley and uva ursi are generally well tolerated at low to moderate doses. Uva ursi's most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, stomach upset, and vomiting. Parsley is usually fine at normal food amounts, but large doses may be unsafe. Juniper is generally well tolerated short-term, though topical use can cause skin irritation and allergies.
Does Aquatrol actually work for UTIs?
There isn't solid evidence. Buchu, parsley, and juniper berries are all rated insufficient reliable evidence for urinary tract infections. Uva ursi is rated possibly ineffective. None of these ingredients have established proof they treat UTIs, so talk with your doctor about what's actually proven to help.
Is Aquatrol safe to use long-term?
The data don't support it. Uva ursi should only be used short-term and not long-term because it can be toxic with prolonged use. Juniper shouldn't be used long-term because medicinal doses may irritate the kidneys. Stick to short-term use only and talk with your pharmacist about how long is safe for you.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
These four herbs affect how your liver breaks down drugs and how your kidneys handle water and minerals like lithium. Parsley slows down a liver enzyme (CYP1A2), uva ursi slows down two others (CYP2C19 and CYP3A4), and all four are thought to have diuretic effects. That's why they touch so many different drug classes.
