HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Una De Gato by Pure Herbs

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
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.

Una De Gato contains one active ingredient: Cat's Claw Bark Extract. In traditional use, cat's claw (a plant from the Amazon) has been used to support immune and digestive function.

The product has no other inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Cat's Claw's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: supports women's health and joint comfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), menstrual cycle support, joint inflammation.
  • The closest evidence on file: Cat's Claw is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Osteoarthritis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Cat's Claw is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The evidence we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for cat's claw in hay fever, Alzheimer disease, asthma, osteoporosis, cancer, or chronic fatigue syndrome — all are rated as having insufficient reliable evidence. If you're considering this product for one of these purposes, you may want to talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current evidence actually shows.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Cat's Claw

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.

Cat's claw is generally well tolerated in the short term by healthy adults, but long-term safety isn't well studied. You should avoid it during pregnancy because it has a history of traditional use to end pregnancy and lacks safety data, and also avoid it while breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

Case reports have linked cat's claw to kidney injury in a small number of people, and one clinical study in patients with advanced cancer reported anemia in 12% and other blood cell changes in 2% each — though it's unclear whether the product or their underlying disease caused these. Headache, fatigue, insomnia, and nerve pain occurred in small percentages of patients in that same study.

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 — Cat's Claw.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 963 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 take this product, check your exact medications if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), blood pressure medications (antihypertensives or calcium channel blockers), drugs broken down by the liver enzyme CYP3A4, immunosuppressants, or Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir/ritonavir). All of these have documented Moderate interactions with cat's claw.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Cat's claw may be worth considering if you're looking for immune support, but it interacts with a large range of medications including blood thinners, blood pressure drugs, and several others. If you take any prescription medications at all, check them against the interaction tool before you start.

For each ingredient in Una De Gato 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.

Cat's Claw Bark Extract6 drug types · 962 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, cat's claw may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can inhibit platelet aggregation. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, taking cat's claw with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. In vitro and animal research suggests that rhynchophylline can lower blood pressure. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Calcium Channel Blockers

Theoretically, taking cat's claw with calcium channel blockers might increase the risk of hypotension.
Cat's claw contains various alkaloids, including rhynchophylline, isorhynchophylline, corynoxeine, and isocorynoxiene. Animal research suggests that these alkaloids can lower blood pressure by acting as calcium channel blockers. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, cat's claw might increase or decrease the levels and effects of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Cat's claw may affect the clearance of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4. In vitro research shows that cat's claw can inhibit CYP3A4 enzymes. In one case report, a patient taking cat's claw (at an unspecified dose) experienced increased serum levels of atazanavir, ritonavir, and saquinavir, all of which are CYP3A4 substrates. Levels returned to normal 15 days after discontinuation of the cat's claw supplement, suggesting inhibition of CYP3A4 by cat's claw. In contrast, animal research suggests that rhynchophylline, an alkaloid contained in cat's claw, induces CYP3A expression and accelerates the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, cat's claw might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In human and laboratory research, cat's claw has been shown to have immunostimulating activity. It stimulates phagocytosis and increases respiratory cellular activity and the mobility of leukocytes. Theoretically, this could interfere with the activity of immunosuppressant medications.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nirmatrelvir/Ritonavir (Paxlovid)

Theoretically, cat's claw may decrease the levels of nirmatrelvir.
Cat's claw contains rhynchophylline. Animal research suggests that this alkaloid induces CYP3A expression, thereby accelerating the metabolism of nirmatrelvir, the active component in the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination product. This interaction has not been reported in humans.

Una De Gato by Pure Herbs: Common Questions

Does Una De Gato by Pure Herbs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Una De Gato has a known interaction with 962 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Una De Gato 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 or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it. Cat's claw has a traditional history of use to end pregnancy, and there isn't enough safety data for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor before taking it if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Is this effective for allergies or asthma?
The evidence we hold isn't established for either. Cat's claw is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for hay fever and asthma. If those are conditions you're managing, ask your pharmacist or doctor what treatments do have solid support.
What are the side effects I might see?
In one study, the most common issues were anemia (12%), headache (2%), fatigue (4%), insomnia (4%), and nerve pain (8%). A small number of people have reported kidney injury linked to cat's claw. Keep in mind that study included people with advanced cancer, so it's hard to know what side effects someone without that disease might experience.
What is cat's claw used for?
Traditionally it's been used to support immune and digestive function. The evidence on whether it actually works for specific conditions isn't established in the data we hold, though more research may be out there in other sources.
How long is it safe to take this?
Cat's claw is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. If you're thinking of using it long-term, that's a good conversation to have with your pharmacist.
