HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mexican Tarragon 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 20, 2026

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 product is a liquid extract of certified organic Mexican tarragon. The extract is made with vegetable palm glycerin, pharmaceutical-grade alcohol, and purified water as inactive ingredients.

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

This is a single-ingredient Tarragon product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tarragon's own graded uses on its monograph.

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

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that tarragon works for postoperative nausea and vomiting — the rating is insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tarragon

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.

Food amounts of tarragon are generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts and essential oils should be used cautiously because of a compound called estragole they contain. The safety data advises against medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy; food amounts are likely fine but the data are limited.

During breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information — avoid medicinal amounts. No adverse effects have been reported in trials, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done.

There's a theoretical concern that long-term estragole exposure might raise cancer risk, though this has only been shown in animal studies so far.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tarragon

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Tarragon.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 359 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this if you use blood thinners like warfarin, aspirin, or clopidogrel (Plavix); sleep aids or sedating antihistamines; or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) for depression. Tarragon may increase bleeding risk and enhance sedation and MAOI effects.

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 considering tarragon extract, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first — especially if you take blood thinners, sleep aids, or antidepressants. It's not established to work for postoperative nausea and vomiting.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, tarragon might increase the risk of bleeding when used 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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Evidence from animal research suggests that tarragon essential oil can cause sedation and motor impairment when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mL/kg. Theoretically, concomitant use of tarragon with CNS depressants, including antihistamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants, may increase sedative and other adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

In vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and MAO-B enzymes. Theoretically, concomitant use with MAOIs might increase the effects and adverse effects associated with MAOIs.

Mexican Tarragon by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Mexican Tarragon by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Mexican Tarragon has a known interaction with 359 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mexican Tarragon 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.
Is tarragon extract safe to take while pregnant?
The safety data advises against medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy. Food amounts are likely fine, but the data are limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable information to know whether medicinal amounts are safe while breastfeeding, so avoid them. Speak with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does tarragon actually help with nausea after surgery?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works for postoperative nausea and vomiting — the rating is insufficient reliable evidence to rate.
What's estragole and why should I worry about it?
Estragole is a natural compound in tarragon extract. There's a theoretical concern that long-term use might raise cancer risk, but this has only been shown in animals so far. Concentrated extracts contain more of it than food amounts, which is why they warrant caution.
Has anyone reported side effects from this product?
No adverse effects have been reported, but a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done. That doesn't mean they won't occur — just that we don't have detailed safety data on file.
