From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

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 liquid contains one active ingredient: false unicorn root extract, dried. It's prepared in a non-alcoholic base of vegetable glycerin and purified water.

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 and menstrual support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Menstrual cramps, Irregular periods, Menopausal symptoms, Female infertility.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The product facts provided do not include effectiveness ratings for false unicorn root extract, so we don't have established evidence in our data on how well it works for any particular purpose.

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 when taken by mouth, though the safety data in humans is limited. Large doses have been reported to cause nausea and vomiting, so starting with a lower amount and watching for stomach upset is wise.

The safety notes advise against use in pregnancy — it has a history of traditional use intended to affect the uterus, and human safety data is insufficient. There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding either, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

False Unicorn Root Extract, Dried3 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 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 Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does False Unicorn Non-Alcohol by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, False Unicorn Non-Alcohol 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 Non-Alcohol 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 use False Unicorn if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it in pregnancy because of its traditional use to affect the uterus and lack of human safety data. There also isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're in either situation.
What are the side effects?
False unicorn root is generally well tolerated at normal doses. Large doses have been reported to cause nausea and vomiting, so start with a lower amount and watch for any stomach upset.
Why does this product interact with so many drugs?
False unicorn extract inhibits two liver enzymes (CYP2D6 and CYP3A4) that break down a very large number of medications. Even a small change in how these enzymes work can affect the blood levels of hundreds of different drugs, which is why we show 730 individual medications in our database.
What does 'CYP2D6 substrate' or 'CYP3A4 substrate' mean?
These are just names for drugs that your liver breaks down using specific enzymes. If false unicorn slows down those enzymes, the drug stays in your body longer and at higher levels, which can increase side effects.
If I take lithium, what should I do?
False unicorn may have diuretic effects (increasing fluid loss), which could theoretically raise your lithium levels. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — your lithium dose might need adjusting if you use this product.
