HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Five Flavor Teapills by Plum Flower

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,320 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Five Flavor Teapills contains five active ingredients. The product includes a proprietary extract blend—the components of which are broken down individually—plus lonicera japonica (honeysuckle) flower extract, Chrysanthemum indicum, Taraxacum mongolicum (dandelion) herb extract, Viola yedoensis herb extract, and Begonia fimbristipula herb extract.

The inactive ingredients are maltose, hydrated magnesium silicate, activated carbon, and china wax.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

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

The evidence for this product's active ingredients is not established in our data. Honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, and dandelion are all rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions they're traditionally used for—which include respiratory infections, headache, common cold, joint pain, and others.

This means the studies we hold do not show these ingredients work for those purposes; it does not mean they don't work, only that solid proof isn't available yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Honeysuckle Chrysanthemum Dandelion

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 2 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.

Honeysuckle is generally well tolerated when used as a tea, though high-quality human safety data is limited. Rare cases of allergic reactions and skin eruptions have been reported after oral use; one case required antihistamine and steroid treatment.

Chrysanthemum is also generally well tolerated but can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people, including contact dermatitis, hives, and rarely asthma. Dandelion is well tolerated as food but may cause diarrhea, heartburn, or stomach discomfort at supplement-strength doses, and allergic reactions including anaphylaxis are rare but possible.

The safety data we hold for Viola yedoensis and Begonia fimbristipula is not on file. Honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, and dandelion should all be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

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 — Honeysuckle, Dandelion.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 457 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 this product, double-check if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (aspirin, warfarin), diabetes medications, potassium-sparing diuretics, quinolone antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin), lithium, or drugs metabolized by CYP1A2. All of these carry moderate risk of interaction.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Five Flavor Teapills may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional herbal support and have no interacting medications—but that's a big if. Anyone taking blood thinners, diabetes drugs, certain antibiotics, lithium, or potassium-sparing diuretics needs to check with their pharmacist before starting.

The ingredients are generally well tolerated, though allergic reactions are possible, and this product is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

For each ingredient in Five Flavor Teapills with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Taraxacum mongolicum Herb Extract7 drug types · 457 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, taking dandelion root along with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that dandelion root inhibits platelet aggregation.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion extract may have moderate alpha-glucosidase inhibitor activity and might also increase insulin secretion. Also, in a case report, a 58-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was being treated with insulin developed hypoglycemia 2 weeks after beginning to eat salads containing dandelion.

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

Theoretically, dandelion might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research suggests that dandelion might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans. However, until more is known, watch for an increase in the levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2 in patients taking dandelion.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the clearance of drugs that are UDP-glucuronosyltransferase substrates.
There is some preliminary evidence that dandelion might induce UDP-glucuronosyltransferase, a phase II enzyme.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, through diuretic effects, dandelion might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that dandelion has diuretic properties. As diuretics can increase serum lithium levels, the dose of lithium might need to be decreased when taken with dandelion.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Potassium-Sparing Diuretics

Theoretically, dandelion might increase the risk of hyperkalemia when taken with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Dandelion contains significant amounts of potassium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quinolone Antibiotics

Theoretically, dandelion might lower fluoroquinolone levels.
Animal research shows that dandelion reduces absorption of ciprofloxacin and can lower levels by 73%. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Taraxacum mongolicum Herb Extract full monograph & interactions

Lonicera japonica flower extract1 drug type · 122 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, honeysuckle might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that polyphenols extracted from honeysuckle can inhibit platelet aggregation.
