HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Peppermint Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 3, 2026

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: peppermint leaf extract in a dried form. It also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients that help deliver and stabilize the extract.

Does it work?

Strong 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 Peppermint's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Peppermint 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: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — rated "Likely Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Barium enema-related colonic spasm — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Dyspepsia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Endoscopy-associated adverse effects — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Peppermint is likely effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It's possibly effective for indigestion (dyspepsia), chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, colonic spasm during barium enema procedures, and reducing side effects during endoscopy.

The evidence for these uses is established in the data we hold, though the strength varies — IBS has the most robust support.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Peppermint

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.

Peppermint leaf and peppermint tea in food amounts are generally well tolerated. This product is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation.

The most common side effects from oral use are abdominal pain, anal burning, belching, diarrhea, dry mouth, heartburn, nausea, and vomiting — a small number of people reported these in trials. Rare cases of allergic reactions, including severe swelling of the lips, tongue, and throat, have been reported; if you've had allergies to mint or related plants, mention that to your doctor or pharmacist before use.

In large amounts, peppermint oil can cause chemical burns in the mouth and throat.

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 — Peppermint.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 797 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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any drugs processed by your liver's CYP3A4, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 enzyme systems (Moderate risk), cyclosporine (Moderate risk), or CYP1A2 substrates (Minor risk). Peppermint may raise the blood levels of these medications, which could amplify their effects and side effects.

Use the interaction checker below with your medications to see if any are affected.

The bottom line

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

Peppermint is a solid choice if you have IBS or indigestion and want plant-based support. But because it interacts with hundreds of medications through your liver's enzyme systems, check your exact drug list with the tool on this page before you start — especially if you take heart medications, immunosuppressants, or anything requiring careful blood levels.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to be sure it's right for you.

For each ingredient in Peppermint Alcohol Free 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.

Peppermint Leaf Extract, Dry5 drug types · 796 drugs

Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)

Theoretically, peppermint oil might increase the levels and adverse effects of cyclosporine.
In animal research, peppermint oil inhibits cyclosporine metabolism and increases cyclosporine levels. Inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) may be partially responsible for this interaction. An interaction between peppermint oil and cyclosporine has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C19. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that a single dose of peppermint oil 600 mg inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and increases the AUC of felodipine, a CYP3A4 substrate. However, in vitro research suggests that peppermint oil only inhibits CYP3A4 at very high concentrations.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro and animal research shows that peppermint oil and peppermint leaf inhibit CYP1A2. However, in clinical research, peppermint tea did not significantly affect the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate. It is possible that the 6-day duration of treatment may have been too short to identify a difference.

Does Peppermint Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Peppermint Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 796 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Peppermint Alcohol Free 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 help my irritable bowel syndrome?
Yes — peppermint is likely effective for IBS. The evidence is strong enough that it's one of the most well-studied uses for this herb.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Peppermint leaf is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. That said, if you're pregnant or nursing, run it by your doctor or pharmacist first — they know your full medical picture and can confirm it's right for you.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common are mild — abdominal pain, heartburn, dry mouth, belching, and nausea. Rare but serious allergic reactions with swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat have been reported; seek emergency care if that happens. In large amounts, peppermint oil can burn the mouth and throat.
Is this safe for indigestion too?
Peppermint is possibly effective for indigestion (dyspepsia), so it may help, though the evidence isn't as strong as it is for IBS. Your doctor or pharmacist can tell you if it's a good fit for your situation.
What's in this liquid besides the peppermint?
Just glycerin and water — those are inactive ingredients that stabilize and deliver the peppermint extract. No alcohol, despite the name.
