HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Catnip 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Catnip 450 mg is a single-ingredient product — each capsule contains catnip, the dried leaf and flower of the plant Nepeta cataria. The inactive ingredients are gelatin (the capsule itself) and water.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

This is a single-ingredient Catnip product and its label doesn't state a use — see Catnip's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for catnip isn't established in the data we hold. The product has been studied for amenorrhea (absent periods), anxiety, tension headache, upper respiratory tract infection, indigestion, and gas, but all of these have insufficient reliable evidence to rate how well it works.

If you're thinking about using it for one of these reasons, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports it for your particular situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Catnip

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 0 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Orally, catnip is generally well tolerated when used in appropriate amounts, though human safety data are limited. The most common side effects are headache, nausea, and general malaise (a sense of not feeling well).

Larger amounts may cause stomach upset or vomiting. One case report described a toddler who became drowsy and lethargic after ingesting a significant amount of catnip tea, so dosing matters, especially for children.

Avoid catnip during pregnancy — it may stimulate the uterus and safety hasn't been established. There isn't enough safety data on catnip during breastfeeding either, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Catnip

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Catnip.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 248 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 taking this product, double-check if you're on any CNS depressants (sleep aids, sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs, or antidepressants with sedating effects) or lithium — both carry Moderate interaction concerns with catnip. Use the medication checker on this page to verify your specific drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and some safety-information gaps remain.

Catnip might be worth considering if you're interested in a traditional herbal approach, though the evidence for most uses isn't well established. If you take any sedating medications, sleep aids, or lithium, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interactions are documented and could be significant.

Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, and stick to appropriate doses to limit side effects.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Catnip 450 mg has a known interaction with 248 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Catnip 450 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 catnip if I'm pregnant?
No — catnip may stimulate the uterus and safety hasn't been established in pregnancy. Avoid it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
What are the most common side effects?
Headache, nausea, and a general sense of not feeling well. Larger doses may also cause stomach upset or vomiting. Catnip is generally well tolerated when used in appropriate amounts, but human safety data are limited.
Does catnip actually work for anxiety or headaches?
The evidence isn't established in the data we hold. It's been studied for both conditions, but there's insufficient reliable evidence to say how well it works. If you're interested in using it for one of these reasons, check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Is catnip safe to give to kids?
Human safety data are limited, so we don't have enough information. One case report described a toddler who became drowsy after ingesting a large amount of catnip tea, so dosing matters. Talk with your pediatrician before giving it to a child.
Will this product make me drowsy?
Catnip has sedative properties, so it may have a calming effect. If you're sensitive to sedation or take other drugs that calm the nervous system, the effect could be stronger. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're concerned about drowsiness.
