HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Marjoram by Hawaii Pharm
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
This product contains one active ingredient: marjoram berry extract in dry form. The liquid also contains alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't establish how well marjoram works for asthma, Parkinson disease, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or dysmenorrhea — all four show insufficient reliable evidence to rate.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Marjoram is generally well tolerated as a food seasoning, but concentrated extracts like this one have limited human safety data. The safety data advises against medicinal or concentrated amounts in pregnancy due to lack of safety information.
In breastfeeding, we don't have enough data either way — talk with your pharmacist or doctor for personalized advice. Side effects are uncommon but have been reported.
A small number of trial participants with pre-existing childhood atopic eczema (a skin condition) experienced allergic contact dermatitis when using products that included sweet marjoram essential oil. One case report describes a woman who developed an exacerbation of perioral dermatitis (inflammation around the mouth) after eating marjoram-seasoned food; it resolved within 3 weeks when she stopped eating marjoram and reappeared when she ate it again.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check this product against any anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs (blood thinners like aspirin or clopidogrel) and anticholinergic or cholinergic drugs (including Parkinson or Alzheimer medications) before you start. These 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.
If you're interested in marjoram extract for asthma, Parkinson disease, PCOS, or period pain, the evidence doesn't yet establish whether it works. If you take blood thinners or medications that affect your nervous system, check your exact medications before starting — this product may increase bleeding risk or alter how those drugs work.
Talk with your pharmacist.

Marjoram by Hawaii Pharm Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Marjoram Berry Extract Liquid by Hawaii Pharm does interact with several medication types, most notably blood thinners and drugs that affect how your nervous system works.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The biggest concern is anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs — blood thinners like aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), and enoxaparin. Lab research suggests marjoram extract can inhibit platelet aggregation and adhesion, which theoretically increases bleeding risk when combined with these medications in medicinal amounts.
Marjoram may also interact with anticholinergic drugs and cholinergic drugs (both Moderate severity). The extract appears to inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity in the lab, meaning it could either reduce the effectiveness of anticholinergics or amplify side effects of cholinergic agents like donepezil (Aricept) or bethanechol (Urecholine).
Altogether, these interactions span 337 individual medications.
Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page — especially if you take any blood thinners or neurological medications.

For each ingredient in Marjoram with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Marjoram Berry Extract, Dry
Anticholinergic Drugs
In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with anticholinergic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of marjoram or the anticholinergic agent.
Some anticholinergic drugs include atropine, benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), procyclidine (Kemadrin), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane).
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, marjoram might increase the risk of bleeding when used in medicinal amounts along with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.
Cholinergic Drugs
In vitro research suggests that marjoram extract can inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity. Theoretically, using marjoram in medicinal amounts along with cholinergic drugs might have additive effects and increase the risk of cholinergic side effects.
Cholinergic drugs include bethanechol (Urecholine), donepezil (Aricept), echothiophate (Phospholine Iodide), edrophonium (Enlon, Reversol, Tensilon), neostigmine (Prostigmin), physostigmine (Antilirium), pyridostigmine (Mestinon, Regonol), succinylcholine (Anectine, Quelicin), and tacrine (Cognex).
