HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Migra-Soothe by Herb Stop
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
Low disclosure
Migra-Soothe contains 4 active ingredients, delivered in liquid form. The supplement includes a proprietary extract blend (whose exact makeup isn't shown on the label), plus licorice root extract, skullcap herb extract, and feverfew herb extract.
These are mixed with grape alcohol and water as inactive ingredients. Each of these herbal extracts has a traditional history in symptom management, though the product name suggests a focus on migraine support.
The inactive ingredients are present to dissolve and preserve the active herbal compounds.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for what this product actually does is limited across all its ingredients. Licorice root is rated possibly effective for canker sores and atopic dermatitis (eczema), but we don't have established evidence for other uses.
Skullcap and feverfew are both rated as having insufficient reliable evidence—meaning we can't say whether they work for stress, epilepsy, stroke, tension headache, or the other conditions they're traditionally used for. The science just isn't there yet to confirm their benefits.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Licorice root is generally well tolerated in food-level amounts, but its active compound glycyrrhizin can cause serious problems with high doses or long-term use. The most common side effects orally are headache, nausea, and vomiting; topically, contact dermatitis may occur.
Skullcap is often used short-term, but product quality varies and evidence is limited—expect possible sedation, cognitive effects, or mild digestive upset. Feverfew is generally well tolerated short-term but can cause mouth ulcers (especially if you chew fresh leaves), gastrointestinal upset, and skin rash in sensitive people.
Stopping feverfew after long-term use may trigger "post-feverfew syndrome," with anxiety, headaches, and insomnia. For pregnancy: licorice is unsafe—glycyrrhizin has been linked to harmful effects.
Skullcap and feverfew both lack enough safety data and are best avoided. For breastfeeding, the same applies—there isn't enough reliable information for any of these three ingredients.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Migra-Soothe, double-check with your own doctor or pharmacist if you take any of these: digoxin or other heart medications; warfarin or other blood thinners; loop diuretics (water pills); sedatives or other CNS depressants like sleep aids or opioids; cancer drugs like cisplatin or paclitaxel; or medications metabolized by your liver (CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, or CYP3A4 pathways—ask your pharmacist if you're unsure). No interactions are documented for white willow bark extract, the ingredient we could not check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Migra-Soothe is a multi-ingredient herbal liquid aimed at migraine relief, but the evidence for whether it actually works is limited or absent. The bigger concern is that its ingredients—especially licorice—interact with many common medications, including heart drugs, blood thinners, sedatives, and drugs your liver processes.
If you take any prescription or over-the-counter medications, check your exact drug names against the interaction tool on this page before you start. Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have heart, kidney, or liver conditions.

Migra-Soothe by Herb Stop Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Migra-Soothe by Herb Stop contains ingredients that do interact with medications—specifically through its licorice root, skullcap, and feverfew extracts.
The most serious documented interaction is with digoxin (a heart medication), where licorice theoretically increases the risk of heart toxicity due to potassium loss; this is a Moderate severity concern.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Licorice also has Moderate interactions with blood thinners like warfarin, where it may reduce their effectiveness. It similarly affects drugs metabolized by your liver's CYP2B6, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 pathways—potentially raising their levels—and may reduce the effects of certain cancer drugs like cisplatin and paclitaxel.
Loop diuretics (water pills) used for heart or kidney conditions may have their effects amplified by licorice.
Skullcap carries a Moderate interaction with CNS depressants—drugs that slow your brain and nervous system, like sedatives or strong pain relievers—where the combined effect could be too much sedation or cognitive slowdown. Feverfew has Moderate interactions with multiple drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP3A4, and CYP2C8), potentially raising levels of affected medications, and may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs.
We could not check white willow bark extract for interactions—we hold no data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 1,222 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Migra-Soothe 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.
Licorice Root Extract
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, licorice might reduce the effects of antihypertensive drugs.
In human research, licorice increases blood pressure in a dose-dependent manner.
Cisplatin (Platinol-Aq)
Theoretically, licorice might reduce the effects of cisplatin.
In animal research, licorice diminished the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin.
Corticosteroids
Theoretically, concomitant use of licorice and corticosteroids might increase the side effects of corticosteroids.
Case reports suggest that concomitant use of licorice and oral corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone, can potentiate the duration of activity and increase blood levels of corticosteroids. Additionally, in one case report, a patient with neurogenic orthostatic hypertension stabilized on fludrocortisone 0.1 mg twice daily developed pseudohyperaldosteronism after recent consumption of large amounts of black licorice.
Cytochrome P450 2B6 (Cyp2B6) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.
In vitro research shows that licorice extract and glabridin, a licorice constituent, inhibit CYP2B6 isoenzymes. Licorice extract from the species G. uralensis seems to inhibit CYP2B6 isoenzymes to a greater degree than G. glabra extract in vitro. Theoretically, these species of licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2B6; however, these interactions have not yet been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
In vitro, licorice extracts from the species G. glabra and G. uralensis inhibit CYP2C19 isoenzymes in vitro. Theoretically, these species of licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19; however, this interaction has not yet been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (Cyp2C8) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C8.
In vitro, licorice extract from the species G. glabra and G. uralensis inhibits CYP2C8 isoenzymes. Theoretically, these species of licorice might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C8; however, this interaction has not yet been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
There is conflicting evidence about the effect of licorice on CYP2C9 enzyme activity. In vitro research shows that extracts from the licorice species G. glabra and G. uralensis moderately inhibit CYP2C9 isoenzymes. However, evidence from an animal model shows that licorice extract from the species G. uralensis can induce hepatic CYP2C9 activity. Until more is known, licorice should be used cautiously in people taking CYP2C9 substrates.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might increase or decrease levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that the licorice constituent glycyrrhizin, taken in a dosage of 150 mg orally twice daily for 14 days, modestly decreases the area under the concentration-time curve of midazolam by about 20%. Midazolam is a substrate of CYP3A4, suggesting that glycyrrhizin modestly induces CYP3A4 activity. Animal research also shows that licorice extract from the species G. uralensis induces CYP3A4 activity. However, licorice extract from G. glabra species appear to inhibit CYP3A4-induced metabolism of testosterone in vitro. It is thought that the G. glabra inhibits CYP3A4 due to its constituent glabridin, which is a moderate CYP3A4 inhibitor in vitro and not present in other licorice species. Until more is known, licorice should be used cautiously in people taking CYP3A4 substrates.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, concomitant use of licorice with digoxin might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity.
Overuse or misuse of licorice with cardiac glycoside therapy might increase the risk of cardiac toxicity due to potassium loss.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, concomitant use of licorice with diuretic drugs might increase the risk of hypokalemia.
Overuse of licorice might compound diuretic-induced potassium loss. In one case report, a 72-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, arrhythmia, stroke, and hepatic dysfunction was hospitalized with severe hypokalemia and uncontrolled hypertension due to pseudohyperaldosteronism. This was thought to be provoked by concomitant daily consumption of a product containing 225 mg of glycyrrhizin, a constituent of licorice, and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg for 1 month.
Estrogens
Theoretically, licorice might increase or decrease the effects of estrogen therapy.
Theoretically, licorice might interfere with estrogen therapy due to estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects.
Loop Diuretics
Theoretically, loop diuretics might increase the mineralocorticoid effects of licorice.
Theoretically, loop diuretics might enhance the mineralocorticoid effects of licorice by inhibiting the enzyme that converts cortisol to cortisone; however, bumetanide (Bumex) does not appear to have this effect.
Midazolam (Versed)
Theoretically, licorice might decrease levels of midazolam.
In humans, the licorice constituent glycyrrhizin appears to moderately induce the metabolism of midazolam. This is likely due to induction of cytochrome P450 3A4 by licorice. Until more is known, licorice should be used cautiously in people taking midazolam.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might decrease the absorption of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that licorice can increase P-glycoprotein activity.
Paclitaxel (Abraxane, Onxol)
Theoretically, licorice might decrease plasma levels and clinical effects of paclitaxel.
Multiple doses of licorice taken concomitantly with paclitaxel might reduce the effectiveness of paclitaxel. Animal research shows that licorice 3 grams/kg given orally for 14 days before intravenous administration of paclitaxel decreases the exposure to paclitaxel and increases its clearance. Theoretically, this occurs because licorice induces cytochrome P450 3A4 enzymes, which metabolize paclitaxel. Notably, a single dose of licorice did not affect exposure or clearance of paclitaxel.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, licorice might decrease plasma levels and clinical effects of warfarin.
Licorice seems to increase metabolism and decrease levels of warfarin in animal models. This is likely due to induction of cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) metabolism by licorice. Advise patients taking warfarin to avoid taking licorice.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, licorice might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that licorice induces CYP1A2 enzymes.
Methotrexate (Trexall, Others)
Theoretically, licorice might increase levels of methotrexate.
Animal research suggests that intravenous administration of glycyrrhizin, a licorice constituent, and high-dose methotrexate may delay methotrexate excretion and increase systemic exposure, leading to transient elevations in liver enzymes and total bilirubin. This interaction has not yet been reported in humans.
Feverfew Herb Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, feverfew might have additive effects and increase the risk of bleeding when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Laboratory research suggests that feverfew may inhibit platelet aggregation. Additionally, in one case report, a 36-year-old patient taking feverfew 2400 mg daily for 3 months experienced vaginal bleeding and a prolonged menstrual cycle, with a modest increase in partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and prothrombin time (PT).
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP1A2. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C19.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP2C19. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C8 (Cyp2C8) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C8.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP2C8. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP2D6. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, feverfew might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Laboratory research shows that feverfew might inhibit CYP3A4. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Skullcap Herb Extract
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, skullcap can have additive effects when used with other CNS depressants.
Animal and clinical research suggests that skullcap can cause sedation and cognitive impairment.
