HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myrrh Alcohol Free 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

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 contains one active ingredient: myrrh gum resin extract (dry form). Myrrh is a resin from tree bark traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The liquid is prepared with glycerin and 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 Myrrh product and its label doesn't state a use — see Myrrh'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 on myrrh is sparse. It's rated likely ineffective for schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection).

For back pain, cancer, common cold, dental implant inflammation, and Crohn disease, there isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to know whether it works. If you're considering myrrh for a specific condition, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether the evidence supports its use for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh

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.

Myrrh's safety taken by mouth isn't well studied. Topically, it may cause skin irritation (dermatitis) in some people.

Taken orally, it can cause diarrhea at higher doses (2–4 grams) and in rare cases severe abdominal pain. Myrrh is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, and the safety data advises against it during pregnancy—one case reported acute lower abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking myrrh as prescribed by a traditional practitioner, which resolved after she stopped.

There isn't enough safety information available for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided during lactation as well.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Myrrh

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 — Myrrh.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 88 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.

Double-check this product before taking if you're on warfarin (Coumadin) or any antidiabetes medication. Both interactions are Moderate severity—myrrh may reduce warfarin's blood-thinning effect and may increase your risk of low blood sugar with diabetes drugs.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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.

This product is not well-studied for most conditions people might use it for. If you take warfarin or diabetes medications, you'll want to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it—myrrh may interfere with how those drugs work.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk with your healthcare provider about whether myrrh is right for you and your medications.

Myrrh Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Myrrh Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myrrh Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 88 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Myrrh Alcohol Free 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.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Myrrh is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, and the safety data advises against it during pregnancy. There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided then too. Talk with your doctor if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
What side effects might I get from taking myrrh?
At higher doses (2–4 grams orally), myrrh may cause diarrhea. Rare cases of severe abdominal pain have been reported. Topically, it can cause skin irritation. Because oral safety isn't well studied, the data recommends caution if you're taking it by mouth.
Does this product actually work for anything?
There isn't enough reliable evidence in our data to say myrrh works for most of the conditions people use it for—back pain, cancer, common cold, dental implant inflammation, and Crohn disease all fall into that category. It's rated likely ineffective for schistosomiasis. Talk with your doctor about whether myrrh makes sense for what you're trying to treat.
I'm on warfarin. Can I take this?
You'll need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Myrrh may reduce how well warfarin works—one patient's blood-clotting measure dropped after taking a myrrh extract. Don't start this without clearing it with them.
I take diabetes medication. Is this safe?
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting. Myrrh may lower blood sugar, which could increase your risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) if you're already on a diabetes drug. They'll want to know before you add it.
