Myrtle Ingredients & Drug Interactions
by Herbal Terra
What is this page for?
First and foremost: checking Myrtle 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 Myrtle by Herbal Terra
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
Herbal Terra's Myrtle is a liquid extract made from the dried leaf of myrtle (Myrtus communis), a plant used in traditional herbal medicine. It contains one active ingredient — the concentrated plant extract itself — suspended in a menstruum (the liquid used to prepare the extract).
The product comes as a liquid rather than a tablet or capsule.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for myrtle isn't established in the data we hold. It's been studied or used traditionally for acne, bacterial vaginosis, respiratory tract infections, diarrhea, GERD, and gingivitis, but the research on it is insufficient to say whether it actually works for any of these.
If you're considering it for a specific health concern, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the evidence really shows and whether it's a reasonable choice for you.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Myrtle leaf is thought to be likely safe in small amounts as food or tea, but concentrated extracts like this one need caution because safety data is limited. The safety notes advise against it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough data to know it's safe in either situation.
When applied to skin, myrtle seems generally well tolerated in adults, though dry skin can happen. Orally, very large amounts of undiluted myrtle oil might cause serious breathing problems; topically, facial contact with myrtle oil preparations may trigger bronchial spasm or asthma-like attacks, especially in infants and children.
In infants and young children, myrtle berry extract has been reported to cause constipation.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the myrtle in this product. That said, check your exact medications with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take anything for blood pressure or breathing — myrtle has been reported to cause rare serious effects in those areas at very high doses.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Myrtle by Herbal Terra is a traditional plant extract with several proposed uses, but solid evidence that it works for any of them isn't established. It's considered likely safe in small amounts as food or tea, but concentrated extracts warrant caution and are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
If you're pregnant, nursing, or thinking about using this for a health condition, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.
