What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Muira Puama and Catuaba against your medications. The heart of this page is the interaction checker and the full interaction report — how this product’s ingredients may interact with prescription and over-the-counter medicines you may be taking.
Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Muira Puama and Catuaba 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 liquid contains 2 active ingredients: wildcrafted Catuaba extract and certified organic Muira Puama extract. Both are herbal extracts traditionally used to support sexual function, though the scientific evidence for either is still very limited.
The product also contains vegetable palm glycerin and alcohol as inactive ingredients that help preserve and deliver the extracts.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for both ingredients isn't established yet. Muira Puama has been studied for sexual dysfunction and erectile dysfunction, but the data we have rate it as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate its effectiveness.
Catuaba's effectiveness ratings aren't available in our data. If sexual health support is what you're after, talk it over with your doctor — there may be other options with stronger evidence behind them.
How safe is it?
Some data gaps
Human safety data for both of these herbs are very limited, so we don't have a clear picture of their long-term safety. Muira Puama has been used traditionally in small amounts, but that doesn't mean we know all the details about how it affects your body.
Neither ingredient should be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — the safety information just isn't there to support it. If you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant, talk with your doctor before considering this product.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Still, run your full medication list through the checker on this page before you start.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.
This product is aimed at supporting sexual function, but the science behind it isn't solid yet. If you're considering it, check your medications first using the tool on this page, and talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist — especially if you're pregnant, nursing, or taking anything else.
They can help you figure out whether it's right for you.
