HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Tarragon 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

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: tarragon leaf extract in dry form. The liquid also includes glycerin and water as inactive ingredients to deliver the extract.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Tarragon product and its label doesn't state a use — see Tarragon's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish whether tarragon works for postoperative nausea and vomiting — the rating is insufficient reliable evidence. If you're considering this for that purpose or another, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the science actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Tarragon

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.

Food amounts of tarragon are generally well tolerated, but concentrated extracts like this one warrant caution because of estragole, a compound in tarragon. The safety data advises against medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy; food amounts are likely fine but data are limited.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough reliable information — avoid medicinal amounts. No adverse effects have been formally reported, though a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been done.

There is animal-study concern that long-term estragole consumption might increase cancer risk, but this hasn't been shown in people.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Tarragon

Meds to double-check

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 — Tarragon.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 359 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 you start, double-check this product against your blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel), sedating medications (benzodiazepines, barbiturates, antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants), and any monoamine oxidase inhibitors. All three are Moderate severity concerns.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take blood thinners, sedating drugs, or MAOIs, check with your pharmacist before using this product. Pregnant or breastfeeding?

The safety data advise against medicinal amounts — talk with your doctor. For others, food amounts are generally fine, but this concentrated extract needs a medication review first.

Tarragon Leaf Extract, Dry3 drug types · 359 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Evidence from in vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits platelet aggregation and adhesion. Theoretically, tarragon might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs. Some anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs include aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), dalteparin (Fragmin), enoxaparin (Lovenox), heparin, ticlopidine (Ticlid), warfarin (Coumadin), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Evidence from animal research suggests that tarragon essential oil can cause sedation and motor impairment when administered intraperitoneally at a dose of 1 mL/kg. Theoretically, concomitant use of tarragon with CNS depressants, including antihistamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, and tricyclic antidepressants, may increase sedative and other adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (Maois)

In vitro research suggests that tarragon extract inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO)-A and MAO-B enzymes. Theoretically, concomitant use with MAOIs might increase the effects and adverse effects associated with MAOIs.

Tarragon Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Tarragon Alcohol Free by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Tarragon Alcohol Free has a known interaction with 359 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Tarragon 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.
Can I take this while pregnant?
The safety data advise against medicinal or concentrated amounts during pregnancy. Food amounts of tarragon are likely fine, but data are limited. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using this product.
Is it safe to breastfeed while using this?
There isn't enough reliable information about tarragon in breastfeeding. The safety data recommend avoiding medicinal amounts. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you.
What's estragole and should I be worried about it?
Estragole is a natural compound in tarragon. The concern comes from animal studies suggesting long-term exposure might increase cancer risk, but this hasn't been proven in people. Because this is a concentrated extract, the caution is to use it mindfully and not for extended periods without talking to your pharmacist.
Will this make me drowsy?
Animal research shows tarragon essential oil causes sedation, so there's a theoretical risk — especially if you're also taking sedating drugs like benzodiazepines or antihistamines. If you notice drowsiness, stop and talk with your pharmacist.
Does tarragon actually work for nausea?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works for postoperative nausea — the rating is insufficient reliable evidence. Ask your pharmacist or doctor about proven options for nausea if that's what you're after.
