What’s inside

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: a wildcrafted False Unicorn extract — a traditional herbal preparation made from the plant itself. The liquid is prepared with vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and purified Hawaiian water 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

This is a single-ingredient False Unicorn product and its label doesn't state a use — see False Unicorn's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for False Unicorn in our data, so we can't tell you whether it works for any particular purpose based on the evidence we have on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient False Unicorn

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 root is generally well tolerated in typical doses, but large amounts have been reported to cause nausea and vomiting. Because safety data in humans is limited, use caution and avoid large doses.

The safety data advises against using False Unicorn during pregnancy, as it has traditional use tied to uterine effects and limited safety information. There is not enough safety information to use it while breastfeeding — talk to your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.

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 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — False Unicorn.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 741 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 False Unicorn, double-check these medication types with your pharmacist: drugs processed by the liver enzyme CYP2D6 (including certain antidepressants, codeine, and fentanyl), drugs processed by CYP3A4 (like calcium channel blockers and chemotherapy agents), and lithium. All three are Moderate-severity interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

False Unicorn may interest you if you're drawn to traditional herbal preparations, but it's not one to start without checking your medications first. If you take any drugs processed by your liver (especially antidepressants, heart medications, pain relievers, or chemotherapy), or if you're on lithium, you need to verify it's safe with your pharmacist.

Pregnant and breastfeeding people should avoid it.

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 is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, false unicorn might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.

False Unicorn by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does False Unicorn by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, False Unicorn 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 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.
Can I take False Unicorn if I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against it because of traditional use tied to the uterus and lack of safety information in pregnancy. If you're pregnant or planning to be, talk to your doctor before considering any herbal supplement.
Is it safe to breastfeed while using False Unicorn?
There is not enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in this situation.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate False Unicorn well at regular doses. Large amounts have been reported to cause nausea and vomiting. Keep doses reasonable, and if you notice stomach upset, scale back or stop and talk to us.
Why does this product interact with so many medications?
False Unicorn appears to slow down two major liver enzymes (CYP2D6 and CYP3A4) that break down hundreds of different drugs. When these enzymes work slower, drug levels can build up in your body. That's why checking your specific medications matters — you might not be affected at all.
Does False Unicorn actually work for anything?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for this product, so we can't tell you whether it works for any particular condition based on the evidence we hold. If you're considering it for a specific reason, talk to your pharmacist about what the research actually shows.
