HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Six Flavor Teapills by Plum Flower
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
Six Flavor Teapills contains 6 active ingredients, delivered as a proprietary extract blend. The named components are rehmannia root, poria mushroom sclerotium, alisma rhizome, dioscorea rhizome, cornus fruit, and peony bark and root — all traditional botanical extracts.
The tablet also contains inactive ingredients (magnesium silicate, activated carbon, dextrin, and china wax) that serve as binders and flow agents.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for these ingredients is limited. Rehmannia is possibly effective for chronic kidney disease, though for other conditions it's studied for — diabetes, diabetic kidney disease, anemia, bone health, and atopic conditions — the evidence isn't established yet.
For poria mushroom, peony, and the other ingredients, we don't hold effectiveness data showing they work for their intended uses in this formula.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Rehmannia and poria mushroom are generally well tolerated in traditional use, though human safety data are limited and product quality varies. Peony is considered well tolerated for short-term use when taken alone or in herbal blends, but high-quality safety studies are sparse.
Peony may cause gastrointestinal side effects — abdominal bloating, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, or discomfort — with diarrhea reported in a small number of patients in one trial. There's one case report of increased bleeding in someone on warfarin who switched to a peony-containing product, though the product contained multiple herbs.
Allergic reactions to poria mushroom, including allergic rhinitis and allergic asthma, have been reported rarely. None of these ingredients have adequate safety data during pregnancy or breastfeeding — the data advises against use in both cases.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this, check your exact medications against these drug types: blood pressure medications and diabetes drugs (Moderate risk); blood thinners and clot-prevention drugs (Moderate risk); sedatives and sleep aids (Moderate risk); drugs processed through your liver's CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 pathways, including clozapine (Moderate risk); hormone therapy and birth control pills (Moderate risk); anticholinergic drugs and cholinergic drugs (Moderate risk); and the seizure medication phenytoin. Use the checker below to see if any of yours match.
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.
If you take blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, sedatives, blood thinners, estrogen therapy, birth control, antiseizure drugs, or any drug metabolized by your liver's P450 system, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting this. The evidence that these ingredients actually work for their traditional uses isn't established yet.
It's generally well tolerated, but safety data are limited, and it's not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Six Flavor Teapills by Plum Flower Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Six Flavor Teapills by Plum Flower contains ingredients with documented interactions with medications.
The most serious finding involves peony, which carries Moderate interactions across multiple drug types affecting how your liver metabolizes certain medications — specifically drugs that go through cytochrome P450 pathways (CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 substrates) — as well as interactions with blood thinners (anticoagulant and antiplatelet drugs), where peony may theoretically increase bleeding risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Rehmannia also has Moderate interactions: it may theoretically increase the risk of low blood pressure (hypotension) when combined with blood pressure medications, and may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when combined with diabetes medications. Poria mushroom extract carries Moderate interactions with sedatives (CNS depressants), anticholinergic drugs, and cholinergic drugs — theoretically enhancing sedation or interfering with how those drugs work.
Peony also has Moderate interactions with hormone-based medications: estrogen replacement therapy and contraceptive drugs, due to its estrogenic activity. Additionally, there's a specific Moderate interaction documented with the antiseizure medication phenytoin (Dilantin).
We could not check three other ingredients in this product: Alisma orientale, Dioscorea opposita, and Cornus officinalis. Altogether, these interactions span 1,238 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Six Flavor Teapills with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Paeonia suffruticosa Bark, Root Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, combining peony with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs might increase the risk of bleeding.
In vitro research suggests that peony might have antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and antithrombotic effects.
Clozapine (Clozaril)
Theoretically, peony might increase the levels and clinical effects of clozapine.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on cytochromes P450 (CYP) 1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Contraceptive Drugs
Theoretically, peony might interfere with contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Concomitant use might also increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, use of peony may increase the levels and clinical effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that peony suppresses the metabolism of clozapine via weak-to-moderate inhibitory effects on CYP1A2 and CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Estrogens
Theoretically, concomitant use of large amounts of peony might interfere with hormone replacement therapy and/or increase the risk for estrogen-related adverse effects.
In vitro and animal research shows that peony extract has estrogenic activity. Theoretically, peony might compete for estrogen receptors and/or cause additive estrogenic effects.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Theoretically, peony might reduce the levels and clinical effects of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking peony root reduces levels of phenytoin. Some researchers suggest that peony root might affect cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9, which metabolizes phenytoin. However, preliminary research in humans shows that peony root does not alter levels of losartan (Cozaar), which is also metabolized by CYP2C9.
