HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cranberry Gummy 500 mg by Meijer
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
This product contains one active ingredient: cranberry extract at 500 mg per gummy. Cranberry is a fruit-based extract that's used to support urinary tract health.
The gummies also contain inactive ingredients—glucose syrup, sugar, water, modified potato starch, palm oil, carnauba wax, citric acid, lactic acid, natural flavors, and pectin—which are fillers, thickeners, and binders that give the gummy its form and taste.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Cranberry extract is possibly effective for urinary tract infections (UTIs). That's the one use where we have meaningful evidence it may help.
For other conditions the product may be marketed for—age-related cognitive decline, benign prostatic hyperplasia, cancer, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome—we don't hold enough reliable evidence to rate whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Cranberry is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, and it's likely safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding in normal food amounts. The most common side effects are diarrhea and gastrointestinal discomfort—mild stomach upset, in other words.
That said, concentrated supplement doses like this gummy haven't been studied as thoroughly as food amounts. Very large doses (3 to 4 liters of juice per day) can cause significant gastrointestinal upset, and even smaller amounts taken over weeks have been linked to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea in some people.
Because data on concentrated supplements is limited, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin (Coumadin) or other blood thinners, atorvastatin (Lipitor) or other statin cholesterol drugs, nifedipine (Procardia) or other calcium-channel blockers for blood pressure, or diclofenac (Voltaren) or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory pain relievers. Cranberry can increase levels and side effects of these drugs.
Additionally, if you take any medication your liver processes—which is most medications—cranberry may affect how it works, so a full medication check with your pharmacist is important.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This gummy may help with urinary tract infections based on the evidence we have. If you take warfarin, atorvastatin, nifedipine, or many other common medications, you'll want to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting—cranberry can interact with them.
The main side effects are gastrointestinal upset. It's likely safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding, but because concentrated supplements haven't been well studied, ask your provider to weigh the risks and benefits for you personally.

Cranberry Gummy 500 mg by Meijer Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Meijer Cranberry Gummy 500 mg contains cranberry extract, which interacts with several common medications.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin): cranberry may increase warfarin levels and blood-thinning effects, raising your risk of bleeding. Case reports have linked cranberry juice to higher INR values (a measure of blood thinning) in patients on warfarin, though the research is mixed.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Cranberry extract may also increase levels of cholesterol-lowering drugs like atorvastatin (Lipitor) and the blood-pressure medication nifedipine (Procardia)—both are processed by your liver in ways cranberry can slow down. A documented case involved a patient on atorvastatin who developed muscle breakdown and liver problems after consuming large amounts of cranberry juice.
Additionally, cranberry theoretically affects a broad group of medications your liver processes through a pathway called CYP3A4, which includes many common drugs beyond those listed here.
Cranberry may also have minor effects on pain relievers like diclofenac (Voltaren) and a wider class of medications processed through another liver pathway called CYP2C9, though human evidence is conflicting. Altogether, these interactions span 713 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Cranberry Gummy 500 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Cranberry Extract
Atorvastatin (Lipitor)
Theoretically, cranberry might increase levels and adverse effects of atorvastatin.
In one case report, a patient taking atorvastatin experienced upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function after drinking cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Theoretically, this may have been caused by inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) enzymes by cranberry juice, as atorvastatin is a CYP3A4 substrate. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Patients taking atorvastatin should avoid large quantities of cranberry juice.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
A case of upper back pain, rhabdomyolysis, and abnormal liver function has been reported for a patient taking atorvastatin, a CYP3A4 substrate, in combination with cranberry juice 16 ounces daily for 2 weeks. Creatinine kinase and liver enzymes normalized within 2 weeks of stopping cranberry juice. Also, animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine, a CYP3A4 substrate, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control.
Nifedipine (Procardia)
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of nifedipine.
Animal research suggests that cranberry juice, administered intraduodenally 30 minutes prior to nifedipine treatment, inhibits nifedipine metabolism and increases the area under the concentration-time curve by 1.6-fold compared to control. This interaction has not been reported in humans.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of warfarin. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry juice on warfarin. Case reports have linked cranberry juice consumption to increases in the international normalized ratio (INR) in patients taking warfarin, resulting in severe spontaneous bleeding and excessive postoperative bleeding. Daily consumption of cranberry sauce for one week has also been linked to an increase in INR in one case report. In a small study in healthy young males, taking a high dose of 3 grams of cranberry juice concentrate capsules, equivalent to 57 grams of fruit daily, for 2 weeks produced a 30% increase in the area under the INR-time curve after a single 25-mg dose of warfarin. However, 3 very small clinical studies in patients stabilized on warfarin reported that cranberry juice 250 mL once or twice daily for 7 days (27% cranberry juice or pure cranberry juice) or 240 mL once daily for 14 days does not significantly increase INR or affect plasma warfarin levels. The reasons for these discrepant findings are unclear. It is possible that the form and dose of cranberry may play a role, as cranberry extracts and juices contain different constituents. Additionally, an in vitro study evaluating 5 different cranberry juices found varying effects, with only a cranberry concentrate, and not diluted cranberry juices, inhibiting CYP2C9. However, this concentrate did not inhibit CYP2C9 activity in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, cranberry might increase the levels and adverse effects of CYP2C9 substrates. However, research is conflicting.
There is contradictory evidence about the effect of cranberry on CYP2C9 enzymes. In vitro evidence suggests that flavonoids in cranberry inhibit CYP2C9 enzymes. However, clinical research shows that cranberry juice does not significantly affect the levels, metabolism, or elimination of the CYP2C9 substrates flurbiprofen or diclofenac. Also, in patients stabilized on warfarin, drinking cranberry juice 250 mL daily for 7 days does not significantly increase the anticoagulant activity of warfarin, a CYP2C9 substrate. Additional pharmacokinetic research shows that cranberry juice does not increase peak plasma concentrations or area under the concentration-time curve of warfarin.
Diclofenac (Voltaren, Others)
Theoretically, cranberry might modestly increase the levels and adverse effects of diclofenac.
In vitro evidence suggests that cranberry juice inhibits diclofenac metabolism by human liver microsomes. However, drinking cranberry juice does not seem to affect diclofenac metabolism in humans.
