HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Passion Flower Alcohol Free 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
This product contains one active ingredient: passionflower herb extract in dry form. The rest is inactive — just glycerin and water — so you're getting the herb with no unnecessary fillers.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Passionflower is rated Possibly Effective for two uses: insomnia and pre-procedural anxiety (nervousness before a medical procedure). The evidence for other claims — alcohol use disorder and benzodiazepine (anxiety medication) withdrawal — is insufficient, meaning we don't have enough reliable data to know whether it helps.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Passionflower is generally well tolerated in the short term, but it does cause drowsiness, which is also why it interacts with sedative drugs. The most common side effects reported are confusion, dizziness, oversensitivity reactions, and sedation.
A rare case of severe nausea, vomiting, prolonged drowsiness, and heart rhythm changes was reported after very high doses, though symptoms resolved once the product was stopped. You should avoid this product during pregnancy — safety data is lacking and there's concern about effects on the uterus.
While breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety information, so it's best to skip it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about alternatives.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, check with us if you take any sedative or anti-anxiety drugs (especially lorazepam or benzodiazepines) — the risk is Moderate and the effects add up. Also double-check any heart medications, cancer drugs, or medications processed through the liver's CYP3A4 pathway, since passion flower may reduce how well they work.
The interaction list is extensive, so use the tool below with your full medication list.
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.
If you're dealing with insomnia or anxiety before a procedure and aren't on sedative medications, passionflower is a reasonable option to discuss with your pharmacist. Anyone taking CNS depressants, heart medications, or cancer drugs should check their exact prescriptions first — the interaction list is long.
Pregnant or breastfeeding? This one's not the right choice.

Passion Flower Alcohol Free by Herbal Terra Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Herbal Terra's Passion Flower Alcohol Free can interact with medications, most notably sedatives.
The single active ingredient — passionflower herb extract — has documented Moderate-severity interactions with central nervous system (CNS) depressants, a category that includes sedative drugs like lorazepam. When taken together, passion flower's own sedative effects add to theirs, which can intensify drowsiness and other side effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The product also has Minor-severity interactions with two other drug types. It may theoretically reduce how your body absorbs organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) substrates — a group that includes certain heart and cancer medications — because compounds in passion flower inhibit the transporters that move these drugs into cells.
Additionally, passion flower may theoretically decrease the effects of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrates, a large category spanning many common medications, though the effect appears to be quite modest.
Altogether, these interactions span 826 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to look up your exact drugs before you start this product.

Passionflower Herb Extract, Dry
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.
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.
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.
