HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Cranberry Plus by Carotec

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.

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 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Cranberry Plus contains three active ingredients. D-mannose is a simple sugar that may help with a rare genetic disorder but has shown little promise for urinary tract infections.

Propolis extract is a bee-derived resin studied for cold sores, mouth sores, and blood sugar support. Anthrocran is a concentrated cranberry extract, traditionally used for urinary tract health.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, rice hulls, stearate, and silicon dioxide — which are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Urinary tract and bladder health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Overactive bladder, Urinary odor, Radiation-induced cystitis, Catheter-related infections, Urinary health — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Cranberry is rated "Possibly Effective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: D-mannose is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • Also on file: Propolis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs), Catheter-related infections.

The evidence for this product's ingredients is mixed. Cranberry extract is rated possibly effective for urinary tract infections, though D-mannose — despite being included in this blend — is rated possibly ineffective for the same purpose.

Propolis shows possibly effective evidence for cold sores and mouth sores, and possibly effective for blood sugar support. For other conditions like cognitive decline, prostate health, and cancer prevention, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate.

Talk with your pharmacist about whether this blend matches what you're hoping it will do.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient D-mannose Propolis Cranberry

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

D-mannose and propolis are both generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data are limited for D-mannose. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal — bloating, diarrhea, and nausea from D-mannose, and headache from propolis.

Cranberry may cause diarrhea and stomach discomfort at high doses. Propolis can trigger allergic reactions, especially in people sensitive to bee products, so skip it if you're allergic to bees.

D-mannose is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient safety data; propolis should be avoided in both pregnancy and breastfeeding. Cranberry in normal food amounts is likely fine, but concentrated supplement doses haven't been well studied — check with your doctor first.

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?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Propolis, Cranberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 922 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.

Check with your pharmacist before using this product if you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) or antiplatelet drugs like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel — propolis may increase bleeding risk and cranberry may alter warfarin levels. Also double-check if you're on cholesterol drugs (especially atorvastatin), blood pressure medications like nifedipine, or any drug metabolized by your liver through CYP3A4, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP1A2, or CYP2E1 pathways — both propolis and cranberry may raise their blood levels.

Pain relievers like diclofenac warrant a quick check too.

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.

Cranberry Plus may appeal to you if you're looking for traditional urinary tract support and are familiar with cranberry's use, but the evidence for D-mannose in this blend for that purpose is weak. Before you start, run your exact medications through the checker on this page — propolis and cranberry interact with many common drugs, especially blood thinners and cholesterol medications.

If you're allergic to bee products or pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your pharmacist or doctor first.

Propolis extract8 drug types · 921 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, propolis might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro research shows that propolis water extract and the propolis constituent, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, can inhibit platelet aggregation. Additionally, evidence from an animal model shows that taking propolis in addition to warfarin decreases INR, suggesting that propolis can decrease the effectiveness of warfarin.

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

Theoretically, high doses of propolis might increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that propolis extract can inhibit CYP1A2. However, animal research shows that propolis extract does not significantly affect CYP1A2 activity when administered to rats at doses up to 250 mg/kg. It is postulated that the constituents of propolis that inhibit CYP1A2 in vitro do not have significant effects in vivo due to low bioavailability and hepatic first-pass effect. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, high doses of propolis might increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro research shows that propolis extract can inhibit CYP2C19. However, animal research shows that propolis extract does not significantly affect CYP2C19 activity when administered to rats at doses up to 250 mg/kg. It is postulated that the constituents of propolis that inhibit CYP2C19 in vitro do not have significant effects in vivo due to low bioavailability and hepatic first-pass effect. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, high doses of propolis might increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that propolis extract can inhibit CYP2C9. However, animal research shows that propolis extract does not significantly affect CYP2C9 activity when administered to rats at doses up to 250 mg/kg. It is postulated that the constituents of propolis that inhibit CYP2C9 in vitro do not have significant effects in vivo due to low bioavailability and hepatic first-pass effect. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Theoretically, high doses of propolis might increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
In vitro research shows that propolis extract can inhibit CYP2D6. However, animal research shows that propolis extract does not significantly affect CYP2D6 activity when administered to rats at doses up to 250 mg/kg. It is postulated that the constituents of propolis that inhibit CYP2D6 in vitro do not have significant effects in vivo due to low bioavailability and hepatic first-pass effect. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (Cyp2E1) Substrates

Theoretically, propolis might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2E1.
In vitro research shows that propolis can inhibit CYP2E1. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, high doses of propolis might increase blood levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Some in vitro research shows that propolis extract can inhibit CYP3A4; however, other in vitro research shows that propolis has no effect on CYP3A4 activity. Furthermore, animal research shows that propolis extract does not significantly affect CYP3A4 activity when administered to rats at doses up to 250 mg/kg. It is postulated that the constituents of propolis that might in inhibit CYP3A4 in vitro do not have significant effects in vivo due to low bioavailability and hepatic first-pass effect. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, propolis might decrease the effectiveness of warfarin.
Animal research shows that taking propolis in addition to warfarin decreases the international normalized ratio (INR). This effect has not been reported in humans.

Anthrocran6 drug types · 712 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
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.

Cranberry Plus by Carotec: Common Questions

Does Cranberry Plus by Carotec interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Cranberry Plus has a known interaction with 921 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Cranberry Plus contains 3 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.
Does D-mannose actually help with urinary tract infections?
The data we hold rates D-mannose as possibly ineffective for UTIs, so it's not a reliable choice for that purpose. If UTI prevention is your goal, cranberry in this product is rated possibly effective — a better bet, though still not guaranteed to work.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
D-mannose and propolis should be avoided during pregnancy because there isn't enough safety data — talk to your doctor before use. Cranberry is rated likely safe in normal amounts, but the concentrated doses in supplements haven't been well studied, so check with your provider.
Can I take this if I'm breastfeeding?
Propolis should be avoided while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information. D-mannose safety while breastfeeding is not well studied, so caution is advised. Cranberry supplements haven't been well studied in breastfeeding either — talk to your doctor before starting.
What side effects should I watch for?
Bloating, diarrhea, and nausea are the most common, mainly from D-mannose and cranberry. Propolis may cause headache. Allergic reactions to propolis are rare but possible, especially if you're sensitive to bee products. Stop and call your doctor if you notice swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing.
Is it safe to take this long-term?
High-quality long-term safety data are limited for D-mannose, so the facts advise caution with extended use. Concentrated cranberry supplement doses also haven't been well studied over time. If you're thinking long-term, ask your pharmacist or doctor.
What is propolis and why is it in this product?
Propolis is a resin that honeybees make. It's included here because research rates it possibly effective for cold sores and mouth sores, and possibly effective for blood sugar support — separate from the cranberry's urinary tract focus.
