HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Passion Flower 700 mg by Solaray

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: passion flower at 700 mg per capsule. The capsules also include cellulose as an inactive ingredient (a filler that helps form the capsule).

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Passion Flower's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Passion Flower for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Pre-procedural anxiety — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Insomnia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Passion flower is rated possibly effective for two uses: helping with insomnia and easing anxiety before medical procedures or tests. For alcohol use disorder and benzodiazepine (anti-anxiety medication) withdrawal, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to rate it—we just don't have reliable data.

If you're considering it for insomnia or procedure-related anxiety, talk to your pharmacist or doctor about whether it might fit your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Passion Flower

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.

Passion flower is generally well tolerated when used short-term, though drowsiness is common—so don't drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you. Other reported side effects include dizziness, confusion, and, rarely, allergy symptoms like hives or sinus irritation.

One case report documented severe nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm changes at very high doses, but symptoms resolved once the product was stopped. The safety data advises against use during pregnancy due to lack of safety information and possible effects on the uterus.

There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding either—talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Passion Flower

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 — Passion Flower.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 837 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 taking this product, double-check any CNS depressants you take—sedatives, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs, or opioids—because passion flower can boost their drowsiness and side effects (Moderate severity). Also mention any medications that are OATP or CYP3A4 substrates, though those interactions are Minor.

Your pharmacist can help identify these.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Passion flower may help with insomnia or pre-procedure anxiety, but it's a sedating herb—don't combine it with sleeping pills or anxiety medications without checking first. Avoid it if you're pregnant; if you're breastfeeding or taking other medications, ask your pharmacist before starting.

Passion Flower3 drug types · 836 drugs

Cns Depressants

Concomitant use of passion flower with sedative drugs might cause additive effects and side effects.
Research in animals and humans shows that passion flower has sedative effects which can be additive when used with sedative medications like lorazepam.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, passion flower might decrease the effects of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that passion flower can induce CYP3A4 enzymes, albeit to a much lower degree than rifampin, a known CYP3A4 inducer.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Theoretically, passion flower might reduce the bioavailability of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research shows that the passion flower constituents apigenin and vitexin inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2. This inhibition may be dose-dependent. One specific high-flavonoid passion flower extract (Valverde) seems to inhibit OATP2B1 and OATP1A2, while another extract with a lower flavonoid concentration (Arkocaps) shows less potent inhibition. OATPs are responsible for the uptake of drugs and other compounds into the body; however, the specific activities of OATP2B1 and OATP1A2 are not well characterized.

Passion Flower 700 mg by Solaray: Common Questions

Does Passion Flower 700 mg by Solaray interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Passion Flower 700 mg has a known interaction with 836 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Passion Flower 700 mg 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.
Will this make me drowsy?
Yes, drowsiness is one of the most common side effects, especially if you're using it as intended for sleep or anxiety. You may also experience dizziness or confusion. Don't drive or use heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.
Can I take it while I'm pregnant?
No. The safety data advises against passion flower during pregnancy because we don't have enough safety information and it may affect the uterus. Talk with your doctor about safer alternatives.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. It's best to avoid it while breastfeeding, but talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I use this with my sleeping pill?
Not without checking first. Passion flower is sedating and can add to the drowsiness and side effects of sleeping pills or any CNS depressant medication. Ask your pharmacist before combining them.
Does this product have any fillers?
Yes—it contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient to help form the capsule. If you're sensitive to any ingredient, check the label or ask your pharmacist.
How well does it work for insomnia?
The evidence shows passion flower is possibly effective for insomnia, meaning some research supports it, but it's not a slam-dunk. Results vary from person to person. Give it a fair trial and discuss results with your pharmacist.
