HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myrrh by Herb Pharm Professional

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
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 oleo-gum-resin extract from Commiphora plants. The liquid is made with certified organic cane alcohol as an inactive ingredient.

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 for myrrh is mixed and limited. For schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection), it's rated likely ineffective.

For back pain, common cold, dental peri-implantitis, Crohn disease, and cancer, there isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether it works — the data we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for those uses.

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 is probably fine for short-term topical use or as a mouth rinse, but how safe it is when swallowed hasn't been well studied. You should avoid myrrh during pregnancy — it's traditionally believed to stimulate the uterus, and one case report documented severe lower abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking myrrh; the pain resolved when she stopped.

Some people taking myrrh by mouth at doses of 2–4 grams have reported diarrhea, and topical use has occasionally caused skin irritation.

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.

If you take warfarin or any other blood thinner, myrrh may weaken its effect — check before starting. Also double-check if you're on any medication to lower blood sugar, since myrrh itself may lower glucose levels.

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.

Myrrh may be worth considering for specific short-term uses like a mouth rinse, but oral safety isn't well established. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, check with your pharmacist or doctor first — the interactions are real.

Pregnant people should avoid it entirely.

Myrrh by Herb Pharm Professional: Common Questions

Does Myrrh by Herb Pharm Professional interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Myrrh 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 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 Myrrh if I'm pregnant or nursing?
No — myrrh is traditionally thought to stimulate the uterus, and you should avoid it during pregnancy. The safety data for breastfeeding isn't on file, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing.
What side effects should I watch for?
Taken by mouth, myrrh may cause diarrhea at doses of 2–4 grams. If you apply it to skin, it can occasionally trigger dermatitis. Oral safety overall hasn't been thoroughly studied, so pay attention to how you feel.
Is this product likely to work for back pain or a cold?
There isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether myrrh helps with back pain or the common cold — the research data we have doesn't establish effectiveness for either.
How is this myrrh product made?
It's a liquid extract of myrrh oleo-gum-resin mixed with certified organic cane alcohol.
Is myrrh safe to use as a mouth rinse?
Yes, it's probably fine for short-term use as a mouth rinse, though long-term oral safety isn't well studied. If you're using it regularly, check in with your pharmacist.
