HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Codizone by Amazon Therapeutics
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
Codizone is a liquid supplement with 10 ingredients, of which several are traditional botanical extracts. The active ingredients we have data for include Cat's Claw (an Amazonian vine traditionally used for joint and immune support), Iporuru (an Amazonian plant with a history in folk medicine), Mexican Yam (also called Wild Yam, used traditionally for hormonal balance), and Sangre de Grado (a tree resin from the Amazon region).
The product also contains distilled water, 30–40% organic alcohol as a solvent, and four other traditional plant ingredients — Chu Chu Huasi, Clavo Huasca, Qat Tea, and Nucno Pichana — for which we hold no interaction data.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for Codizone's ingredients is limited. Cat's claw has been studied for allergic rhinitis, Alzheimer disease, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, and chronic fatigue syndrome, but the data is insufficient to rate it for any of these.
Mexican Yam (Wild Yam) is rated Possibly Ineffective for menopausal symptoms and has insufficient evidence for gallbladder disease, sexual dysfunction, irregular menstrual periods, and infertility. Sangre de Grado shows the strongest data: it is rated Possibly Effective for HIV-related diarrhea and travelers' diarrhea.
Iporuru, Chu Chu Huasi, Clavo Huasca, Qat Tea, and Nucno Pichana either lack effectiveness ratings or we hold no data on them.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cat's Claw is generally well tolerated in the short term in healthy adults, but long-term safety is not well studied. In one clinical trial of patients with advanced tumors, anemia occurred in 12% of participants, and leukopenia and low platelet counts each occurred in 2%; headache, fatigue, insomnia, and nerve pain (neuropathy) were also reported.
Several case reports link Cat's Claw to kidney injury. Mexican Yam is likely fine for short-term use but its long-term safety is unclear, and it can cause fever, headache, upset stomach, vomiting, and rarely anaphylaxis.
Sangre de Grado is generally well tolerated with limited clinical safety data; mild digestive upset, bronchitis, and headache have been reported. Iporuru has very little quality safety research in humans.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Codizone, check if you use blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) or calcium channel blockers, as Cat's Claw may lower your blood pressure further — Moderate severity. Also double-check if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, immunosuppressants, drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme system, estrogen-containing medications, or the COVID-19 antiviral nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid).
We could not check several ingredients for interactions, so run your complete medication list through the checker on this page.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or are on the COVID-19 antiviral Paxlovid, or if you use hormone therapy (especially estrogens), check this product against your exact medications before starting — the interactions are real. Cat's Claw and Mexican Yam are not safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding; talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether Codizone is right for you.

Codizone by Amazon Therapeutics Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Codizone by Amazon Therapeutics contains ingredients with documented interactions affecting a wide range of medications.
Cat's claw, one of the active ingredients, carries the most serious interactions. It may increase the risk of low blood pressure (hypotension) if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) or calcium channel blockers — both are Moderate severity concerns.
Cat's claw can also theoretically affect how your body processes drugs metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme system, potentially increasing or decreasing their levels and effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Cat's claw also raises Moderate concerns with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs by potentially increasing bleeding risk, with immunosuppressant medications by possibly interfering with their activity, and with the COVID-19 antiviral nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) by potentially lowering its effectiveness. Mexican Yam (Wild Yam) may increase or decrease the effects of estrogens, including hormone therapy — also Moderate severity.
We could not check several other ingredients in this product: distilled water, 30–40% organic alcohol, Chu Chu Huasi, Clavo Huasca, Qat Tea, and Nucno Pichana — we hold no interaction data for them. Iporuru and Sangre de Grado were checked and show no interactions documented in our data, though that is not a guarantee none exist.

For each ingredient in Codizone 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.
Cat's Claw
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, cat's claw may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can inhibit platelet aggregation. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking cat's claw with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. In vitro and animal research suggests that rhynchophylline can lower blood pressure. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Calcium Channel Blockers
Theoretically, taking cat's claw with calcium channel blockers might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains various alkaloids, including rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, and isocorynoxiene. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can lower blood pressure by acting as calcium channel blockers. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, cat's claw might increase or decrease the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Cat's claw may affect the clearance of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. In vitro research shows that cat's claw can inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. In one case report, a patient taking cat's claw (at an unspecified dose) experienced increased serum levels of atazanavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir, all of which are CYP3A4 substrates. Levels returned to normal 15 days after discontinuation of the cat's claw supplement, suggesting inhibition of CYP3A4 by cat's claw. In contrast, animal research suggests that rhynchophylline, an alkaloid contained in cat's claw, induces CYP3A expression and accelerates the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, cat's claw might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In human and laboratory research, cat's claw has been shown to have immunostimulating activity. It stimulates phagocytosis and increases respiratory cellular activity and the mobility of leukocytes. Theoretically, this could interfere with the activity of immunosuppressant medications.
Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid)
Theoretically, cat's claw may decrease the levels of nirmatrelvir.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that this alkaloid induces CYP3A expression, thereby accelerating the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Mexican Yam
Estrogens
Theoretically, wild yam might increase or decrease the effects of estrogen.
Wild yam root shows estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects in vitro. Theoretically, wild yam might interfere with hormone therapy.
