HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Passion Flower by Wonder Labs
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: passion flower extract. The capsules also hold several inactive ingredients — vegetable cellulose, gelatin, silica, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which serve as the capsule shell and flow agents.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Passion flower is rated Possibly Effective for insomnia and for relieving anxiety before medical procedures. For attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and help with benzodiazepine withdrawal, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to know whether it works — we'd rate that Insufficient Reliable Evidence.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Passion flower is generally well tolerated in short-term use, but drowsiness is the main side effect to expect. The most common adverse effects include dizziness, confusion, and sedation.
A rare case of severe nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm changes (prolonged QT interval) was reported at very high doses, and allergy-type symptoms including urticaria have occurred in isolated reports — though it's unclear in those cases whether passion flower alone was responsible. Don't use this product during pregnancy — the safety data isn't there, and it may affect your uterus.
There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding either. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're on any sedative medications (like lorazepam or other sleep aids) — the drowsiness can stack. Also flag any drugs that are processed by your liver's CYP3A4 enzyme or rely on OATP transport proteins, though those risks are smaller.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Passion flower may help with insomnia or pre-procedure anxiety, but its main risk is adding to drowsiness if you're already on sedative medications. Before you start, check your exact prescriptions and any over-the-counter sleep aids or anxiety drugs with your doctor or pharmacist.
It's not for pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Passion Flower by Wonder Labs Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Passion Flower by Wonder Labs interacts with medications through its single active ingredient.
The most serious concern is with sedative drugs (CNS depressants) — a Moderate-severity interaction. Passion flower itself has sedative effects, and combining it with sedative medications like lorazepam can cause additive drowsiness and other side effects.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Passion flower may also affect how your body processes certain other medications. It can theoretically reduce the effectiveness of drugs that rely on specific transport proteins (OATP substrates), and it may decrease the effects of medications metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme — though both of these are Minor-severity interactions based on lab evidence.
Although we hold data on this ingredient, no interactions are documented for some medication categories. Altogether, these interactions span 837 individual medications.

Passion Flower extract
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.
