HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Constipation Relief by Dr. Garber's

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (83 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Dr. Garber's Constipation Relief is a liquid with 5 active ingredients, though one is a proprietary blend — its exact makeup isn't fully disclosed.

The checked ingredients include rosemary (an herb), wine berry (also called lingonberry), and three others we cannot fully assess: Prim Wort, Pink Sandstone, and Large Intestine extract. The liquid also contains glycerin, purified water, and alcohol as inactive ingredients.

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: natural solutions for occasional irregularity.
  • We looked for evidence on: constipation, bowel regularity, digestive function, intestinal motility.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for most of these ingredients isn't established in the data we hold. Rosemary has been rated possibly effective for memory, but for everything else listed — including its use in constipation relief — the evidence is insufficient to rate.

Wine berry (lingonberry) also shows insufficient evidence for dental plaque and urinary tract infections. We have no effectiveness data on file for the other three active ingredients.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary Lingonberry

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rosemary is safe in food amounts, but concentrated extracts and undiluted essential oil need care. During pregnancy, food amounts are fine, but medicinal or large doses should be avoided — rosemary is rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy.

While breastfeeding, food amounts are likely fine, but there isn't enough safety data on medicinal doses, so avoid them. Wine berry (lingonberry) is generally well tolerated orally, though some people report nausea and vomiting due to its high tannin content.

Concentrated extracts lack enough safety data. Lingonberry is rated likely unsafe during both pregnancy and breastfeeding, so avoid it if you're expecting or nursing.

Rosemary can cause allergic reactions, especially topically — lip swelling, gum swelling, and contact dermatitis have been reported. Rarely, occupational asthma has been linked to rosemary and similar herbs, and the undiluted oil or its camphor component might trigger seizures.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rosemary Lingonberry

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 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Rosemary.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 372 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 Dr. Garber's Constipation Relief, check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (Moderate risk), diabetes medications (Moderate risk), aspirin, or salicylate-containing pain relievers like Trilisate or Disalcid (all Moderate risk).

Also flag any drugs your liver breaks down, since rosemary may reduce how well some of them work (Minor risk).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is worth discussing with your pharmacist or doctor, especially if you take blood thinners, diabetes medications, aspirin, or certain pain relievers. The rosemary in it can affect how these drugs work.

If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, check with your healthcare provider first — the safety data for medicinal amounts isn't there yet.

Although rosemary powder decreased blood glucose levels in healthy adults, no change in blood glucose levels was seen in adults with type 2 diabetes, most of whom were taking antidiabetes drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Aspirin

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as aspirin.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylates.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Choline Magnesium Trisalicylate (Trilisate)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as choline magnesium trisalicylate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Salsalate (Disalcid)

Theoretically, rosemary might have additive effects with salicylate-containing drugs such as salsalate.
Rosemary is reported to contain salicylate.

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

Theoretically, rosemary might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that rosemary induces CYP1A2 enzymes. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Constipation Relief by Dr. Garber's: Common Questions

Does Constipation Relief by Dr. Garber's interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Constipation Relief has a known interaction with 372 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Constipation Relief contains 5 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 use this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first. Rosemary in this product may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners. Your provider needs to know you're considering it so they can check whether it's safe for your specific situation.
What if I take aspirin or another salicylate pain reliever?
You should check with your pharmacist before starting this product. Rosemary contains salicylates and may add to the effects of these drugs. Your pharmacist can tell you whether it's okay for you.
Is it safe to use while I'm pregnant?
Food amounts of rosemary are generally fine, but medicinal doses or concentrated extracts should be avoided during pregnancy — the safety data advises against them. Lingonberry (wine berry) is rated likely unsafe during pregnancy too. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
What's in this product that makes it work for constipation?
The product contains five active ingredients, but we don't have effectiveness data on file for most of them. One ingredient, Prim Wort, we couldn't check at all. If you want to know how these specific ingredients help with constipation, your pharmacist or the manufacturer can give you more details.
Can I take this if I have diabetes and use diabetes medications?
You should ask your pharmacist first. Rosemary in this product might lower blood sugar further, raising the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your provider needs to know you're considering it.
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
Some people report nausea and vomiting from the lingonberry in this product, mainly because of its high tannin content. Rosemary can cause allergic reactions, including lip swelling, gum swelling, and skin reactions. If you develop any of these, stop taking it and tell your pharmacist.
