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: female reproductive health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: menstrual health, menopausal symptoms, female fertility.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for false unicorn in our data, so we cannot tell you whether evidence supports its use for any condition.

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 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.

False unicorn is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though large doses have been reported to cause nausea and vomiting. Safety data in humans is limited overall.

Because it has traditional uses tied to the uterus and lacks adequate safety research, the data advises against it during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding—talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized guidance.

False Unicorn Root Extract, Dry3 drug types · 740 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

In vitro, false unicorn extract inhibits cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) activity. Theoretically, false unicorn might increase the levels of CYP2D6 substrates. Some of drugs that are CYP2D6 substrates include amitriptyline (Elavil), clozapine (Clozaril), codeine, desipramine (Norpramin), donepezil (Aricept), fentanyl (Duragesic), flecainide (Tambocor), fluoxetine (Prozac), meperidine (Demerol), methadone (Dolophine), metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol XL), olanzapine (Zyprexa), ondansetron (Zofran), tramadol (Ultram), trazodone (Desyrel), and others.

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

In vitro, false unicorn extract inhibits cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity. Theoretically, false unicorn might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates. Drugs that might be affected include some calcium channel blockers (diltiazem, nicardipine, verapamil), chemotherapeutic agents (etoposide, paclitaxel, vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine), antifungals (ketoconazole, itraconazole), glucocorticoids, cisapride (Propulsid), alfentanil (Alfenta), fentanyl (Sublimaze), losartan (Cozaar), fluoxetine (Prozac), midazolam (Versed), omeprazole (Prilosec), ondansetron (Zofran), propranolol (Inderal), fexofenadine (Allegra), and numerous others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

False Unicorn Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does False Unicorn Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, False Unicorn Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 740 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
False Unicorn 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 in this product?
False Unicorn Alcohol Free contains one active ingredient: false unicorn root extract in dry form. Glycerin and water are inactive ingredients that help deliver it as a liquid.
Can I take this while pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against false unicorn during pregnancy because of its traditional use tied to the uterus and lack of adequate safety research. If you're pregnant or planning to be, talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
Is it safe to breastfeed while taking this?
There isn't enough safety information available to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor to decide what's best for you and your baby.
What side effects might I experience?
False unicorn root is generally well tolerated. Large doses have been reported to cause nausea and vomiting. Safety data in humans is limited overall.
Does this product actually work for anything?
We don't have effectiveness ratings for false unicorn in our data, so I can't tell you whether evidence supports its use for any specific condition.
Why does this interact with so many drugs?
False unicorn extract slows two major liver enzymes—CYP2D6 and CYP3A4—that break down hundreds of medications. When these enzymes are inhibited, drugs can accumulate to higher levels in your blood. That's why the interaction count is high even though the ingredient is one.
