HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Myrrh 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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains 1 active ingredient: myrrh gum extract. Myrrh is a resin traditionally used in herbal medicine, often for inflammation and immune support.

The liquid form also includes grape alcohol and water as inactive ingredients.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Myrrh's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Supports healthy immune response.
  • We looked for evidence on: Common cold, Cough.
  • The closest evidence on file: Myrrh is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Myrrh is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Cough.

The evidence we have on myrrh is sparse. For the uses this product might be marketed for — back pain, common cold, dental and digestive health, and cancer — the evidence is insufficient to rate whether it actually works.

Myrrh is rated likely ineffective for schistosomiasis (a parasitic infection). If you're considering this for a specific health goal, we'd suggest asking your pharmacist what the current research actually shows.

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 taken by mouth hasn't been studied well enough to know its long-term safety profile, so caution is warranted. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy, as myrrh is traditionally said to stimulate the uterus.

Side effects reported with oral use include diarrhea at higher doses (2–4 grams) and, in one case, severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman, which resolved when she stopped taking it. Topically, myrrh may cause skin irritation (dermatitis) in some people.

Breastfeeding safety information is not on file.

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.

Before you take Herb Stop Myrrh Liquid, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on any blood sugar medication (like metformin, insulin, or diabetes pills) — myrrh may increase low blood sugar risk. Also check if you take warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner, because myrrh might make it less effective.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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.

Myrrh Liquid is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but oral safety is understudied. If you take blood sugar medications or warfarin, check with your pharmacist before starting.

Avoid it during pregnancy. For most other uses, evidence of effectiveness is lacking.

Myrrh by Herb Stop: Common Questions

Does Myrrh by Herb Stop 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 this if I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy because myrrh is traditionally said to stimulate the uterus. One reported case involved severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman taking myrrh. Talk with your doctor before use.
What does myrrh actually do?
Myrrh is a resin used traditionally for inflammation and immune support, but we don't have solid evidence it works for back pain, colds, dental health, Crohn's disease, or cancer. For those uses, the evidence is insufficient to rate.
Are there side effects?
Myrrh can cause diarrhea at higher doses (2–4 grams), and if applied to skin may cause irritation. One case reported severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman, which resolved when she stopped. Oral safety overall isn't well studied.
Is this safe to take long-term?
The data only supports short-term use — oral safety over time hasn't been well studied. If you're considering long-term use, check with your pharmacist first.
Will this help my cold?
There isn't enough reliable evidence to say whether myrrh works for the common cold. Your pharmacist can suggest options with better evidence behind them if that's what you're after.
