HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Four Things Combination by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 30, 2026

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 4 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Formula” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,500 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Four Things Combination contains 4 active ingredients: a proprietary extract blend, Dang Gui Root Extract (Dong Quai), White Peony root extract, and Rehmannia root extract. These are traditional Chinese herbal ingredients formulated together as a combination product.

The capsules also contain inactive ingredients—pullulan polysaccharide (a capsule material), rice powder, bamboo extract powder, and rice extract blend—which serve as fillers and flow agents.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Rehmannia) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for this product's effectiveness is limited. Rehmannia root extract is rated as possibly effective for chronic kidney disease; the other three ingredients lack sufficient reliable evidence in our data to rate their effectiveness for the conditions they're traditionally used for, including anemia, bone health, heart disease, migraines, skin conditions, and fatigue.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dong Quai Peony Rehmannia

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 2 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 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.

Dong Quai is generally well tolerated, though the most common side effects are burping and flatulence. It may increase your bleeding risk and cause skin sensitivity to sunlight.

White Peony root extract appears well tolerated for short-term use, but high-quality safety data are limited; the most common side effects if they occur are abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, and gastrointestinal discomfort (diarrhea was reported in 5% of people taking it daily in one study). Rehmannia is generally used in traditional medicine, but human safety data are sparse and product quality varies.

Dong Quai, White Peony, and Rehmannia all carry a "possibly unsafe" rating for pregnancy and are best avoided; data are insufficient for breastfeeding with any of these three ingredients. Ligusticum Rhizome Extract has no safety data on file.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning either, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.

Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Peony, Dong Quai, Rehmannia.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,027 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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any of these: blood thinners like warfarin, heparin, or dabigatran, or antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel (Major concern with warfarin; Moderate with others); blood pressure medications; diabetes drugs; estrogen or hormone replacement therapy; birth control pills; clozapine (an antipsychotic); phenytoin (an anti-seizure drug); or any medication broken down by your liver via the CYP1A2 or CYP3A4 pathways.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Four Things Combination is a traditional herbal formula with limited evidence for most uses. Its biggest concern is a major interaction with warfarin — if you take that or any blood thinner, you'll need to clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Similarly, check before combining it with blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, birth control, hormone therapy, or any antipsychotic or anti-seizure drug. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid it.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to see if it's right for you.

White Peony root extract7 drug types · 811 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, combining peony with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that peony might have antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and antithrombotic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Clozapine (Clozaril)

Theoretically, peony might increase the levels and clinical effects of clozapine.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on cytochromes P450 (CYP) 1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, peony might interfere with contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Concomitant use might also increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.

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

Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of peony might interfere with hormone replacement therapy and/or increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Theoretically, peony might compete for estrogen receptors and/or cause additive estrogenic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Phenytoin (Dilantin)

Theoretically, peony might reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking peony root reduces levels of phenytoin. Some researchers suggest that peony root might affect cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, which metabolizes phenytoin. However, preliminary research in humans shows that peony root does not alter levels of losartan (Cozaar), which is also metabolized by CYP2C9.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Rehmannia root extract2 drug types · 258 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, rehmannia might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research shows that rehmannia may have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, rehmannia might increase the risk of hypotension when taken with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research shows that rehmannia may have hypotensive effects. Laboratory research shows that formulations of dried and processed rehmannia root inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Rehmannia root extract full monograph & interactions

Dang Gui Root Extract3 drug types · 163 drugs

Warfarin (Coumadin)

Dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with warfarin.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of dong quai with warfarin can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin and increase the risk of bleeding. In one case, after 4 weeks of taking dong quai 565 mg once or twice daily, the international normalized ratio (INR) increased to 4.9. The INR normalized 4 weeks after discontinuation of dong quai.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, dong quai may increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs; however, research is conflicting.
Animal studies suggest that dong quai has antithrombin activity and inhibits platelet aggregation due to its coumarin components. Additionally, some case reports in humans suggest that dong quai can increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. However, clinical research in healthy adults shows that taking 1 gram of dong quai root daily for 3 weeks does not significantly inhibit platelet aggregation or cause bleeding. Until more is known, use dong quai with caution in patients taking antiplatelet/anticoagulant drugs.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Estrogens

Theoretically, dong quai may reduce the effects of estrogens.
Dong quai has estrogenic effects. Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of dong quai might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.

Four Things Combination by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs: Common Questions

Does Four Things Combination by Ron Teeguarden's Dragon Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Four Things Combination has a known interaction with 1,026 medications, including 2 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Four Things Combination contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data advises against it. All three of the main herbal ingredients—Dong Quai, White Peony, and Rehmannia—are rated possibly unsafe in pregnancy and lack enough safety information for breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.
What are the most common side effects?
Dong Quai commonly causes burping and flatulence. White Peony may cause abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, or gastrointestinal discomfort—diarrhea occurred in about 5% of people taking it daily in one study. Rehmannia has no adverse effects listed in our data.
Is this product proven to work?
The evidence is sparse. Rehmannia is rated possibly effective for chronic kidney disease, but the other ingredients lack sufficient reliable evidence to establish effectiveness for their traditional uses—anemia, bone health, heart disease, migraines, and skin conditions are all rated as having insufficient evidence.
Can I use this with blood thinners like warfarin?
No—at least not without your doctor's close supervision. Dong Quai in this product has a major interaction with warfarin and may increase your bleeding risk. All three main ingredients also interact with other blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining this product with any blood thinner or antiplatelet medication.
What is Dong Quai used for?
In traditional Chinese medicine, Dong Quai is used for conditions like anemia, osteoporosis, heart disease, and migraines, but our data show insufficient reliable evidence to confirm it works for these purposes.
Does this product have any fillers?
Yes. Alongside the four active herbal ingredients, the capsules contain pullulan polysaccharide (the capsule material itself), rice powder, bamboo extract powder, and rice extract blend as inactive ingredients.
