HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Passionflower Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals
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
Low disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: Passionflower Budding Vine Extract, Solid. Passionflower is a traditional herbal remedy used to ease anxiety and support sleep.
The product also contains glycerine as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Passionflower is rated Possibly Effective for insomnia and anxiety before medical procedures. For ADHD and benzodiazepine withdrawal, the evidence isn't established enough to say whether it works — we hold insufficient reliable data on those uses.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Passionflower is generally well tolerated when used short-term, though it commonly causes drowsiness, dizziness, confusion, and sedation. A small number of people have reported allergy-like symptoms or, rarely, severe reactions including nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm changes at high doses — if you experience any of these, stop and contact your doctor.
Do not use passionflower during pregnancy due to a lack of safety data and possible effects on the uterus. There isn't enough information to know if it's safe while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product if you take sedative medications or sleep aids — passionflower can intensify their drowsy effects (Moderate severity). Also confirm it's okay with drugs that are broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4, or those using specific transporters, as passionflower may affect how those work (Minor severity).
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Passionflower may help with occasional sleeplessness or pre-appointment anxiety, and most people tolerate it well short-term. The main caution is that it adds to drowsiness if you take sedatives or sleep aids.
If you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, or if you take any regular medications, clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Educational only — not medical advice; always confirm with your pharmacist. Our editorial policy · How we use AI

Passionflower Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Wise Woman Herbals' Passionflower Solid Extract interacts with medications through its passionflower content.
The most serious interaction is with sedative drugs (CNS depressants) — passionflower can add to their drowsiness and sedating effects, a Moderate-severity concern.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Beyond sedatives, passionflower may affect how your body processes certain other medications. It can theoretically reduce blood levels of drugs that use specific liver transporters (OATP substrates) — a Minor concern — and may also induce a liver enzyme (CYP3A4) that breaks down many common medications, potentially lowering their effectiveness, also Minor.
Altogether, these interactions span 837 individual medications. Before you start this product, run your exact prescriptions through the checker on this page or check with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you take any sleep aids, anti-anxiety medications, or other drugs that make you drowsy.

For each ingredient in Passionflower Solid Extract with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Passionflower Budding Vine Extract, Solid
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.
