HelloPharmacist Scorecard of False Unicorn by Herbalist & Alchemist
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
False Unicorn by Herbalist & Alchemist is a liquid extract made from 1 active ingredient: dried false unicorn root. It also contains ethyl alcohol and distilled water as inactive ingredients to preserve and deliver the extract.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for false unicorn in our data, so we can't tell you what the evidence shows about whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally, false unicorn root is generally well tolerated, but large doses have been reported to cause nausea and vomiting. Safety data in humans is limited, and the data we hold notes caution about large doses potentially causing stomach upset.
False unicorn should be avoided in pregnancy — it has traditional use related to uterine effects, and safety data is lacking. The data also advises against use while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, check whether you use any CYP2D6 substrates — antidepressants like amitriptyline, pain medications like codeine or fentanyl, and cardiac drugs like donepezil — or CYP3A4 substrates such as calcium channel blockers or chemotherapy agents. Also mention if you take lithium.
Use the medication search tool on this page to verify your exact prescriptions.
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 be worth a closer look if you're interested in herbal supplements, but you need to check your medications first — this product interacts with a broad range of drugs across several classes, including antidepressants, pain relievers, heart medications, and chemotherapy agents.

False Unicorn by Herbalist & Alchemist Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
False Unicorn by Herbalist & Alchemist does interact with medications.
Its single active ingredient, dried false unicorn root extract, inhibits a liver enzyme called CYP2D6, which breaks down many antidepressants, pain medications, and cardiac drugs. If you take amitriptyline (Elavil), codeine, fentanyl (Duragesic), or similar medications, false unicorn could raise their levels in your blood — potentially too high.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The same extract also inhibits another liver enzyme, CYP3A4, which metabolizes calcium channel blockers (used for blood pressure and heart rhythm), chemotherapy drugs, and several others. Again, false unicorn might raise drug levels.
Additionally, because false unicorn may have diuretic properties (making you urinate more), it could theoretically increase lithium levels — a concern if you take lithium for mood disorders, since even small dose changes matter.
All three of these interactions carry Moderate severity. Altogether, these interactions span 730 individual medications.
