HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Catnip Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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 Alcohol Free contains one active ingredient: catnip flower, leaf extract in dry form. It's a liquid preparation made with glycerin and water — no alcohol, despite the name suggesting otherwise.

The extract is the concentrated plant material stripped of its liquid base and then reconstituted in the glycerin-water blend.

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: herbal extract.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for catnip's effectiveness is insufficient for the conditions listed in our data — amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods), anxiety, tension headache, upper respiratory tract infection, indigestion, and gas. The research on these uses hasn't yet established whether it actually works, so we can't say it will or won't help you with any of them.

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.

Catnip is generally well tolerated when used in tea-like amounts, though human safety data are limited. The most common side effects from normal use are headache, malaise (general feeling of being unwell), and vomiting.

Taking too much can cause stomachache and vomiting; in one case, a toddler became very drowsy after ingesting catnip tea and tea bag material. You should avoid this product if you're pregnant — catnip may stimulate the uterus and safety in pregnancy is not established.

There also isn't enough safety information to recommend it for breastfeeding, so talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before using it during that time.

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 Catnip Alcohol Free, double-check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take CNS depressants — sedatives, sleep aids, anti-anxiety drugs, or opioids — because catnip may increase drowsiness. You should also confirm any use of lithium, since catnip may affect how your body handles it and your dose might need to change.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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 Alcohol Free may be worth considering if you're looking for a traditional herbal remedy, but the evidence doesn't yet show it works for specific conditions. If you take anything that makes you drowsy or you use lithium, you need to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting — the interactions are real and potentially significant.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Skip it for now and ask your healthcare provider.

Catnip Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Catnip Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Catnip Alcohol Free 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 Alcohol Free 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.
What's actually in this bottle?
One active ingredient: catnip flower and leaf extract, plus glycerin and water. It's alcohol-free despite the name — the extract is dissolved in the glycerin-water base instead.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
No — you should avoid it. Catnip may stimulate the uterus and safety during pregnancy isn't established. Talk with your own doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.
What side effects should I watch for?
With normal amounts, the most common are headache, feeling unwell, and vomiting. Taking too much can cause stomachache, vomiting, and even drowsiness — like the case of a toddler who became very sleepy after ingesting catnip tea.
Will this actually help with anxiety or my other symptoms?
The evidence isn't established yet for anxiety, tension headache, indigestion, gas, or the other conditions we track. There isn't enough reliable research to say whether it works.
Is it safe to take with my sleep medication?
That depends on your specific drug — catnip has sedative properties and may add to drowsiness. Check the interaction tool on this page and confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist before combining them.
