HelloPharmacist Scorecard of UriCare by Himalaya

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Herbal Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

UriCare contains 8 active ingredients, including cyperus, onosma bracteatum, shilajeet, and four others in a proprietary herbal blend — indian madder, didymocarpus, winter begonia, prickly chaff flower, and little ironweed. The product also has vegetable cellulose as an inactive ingredient (capsule material).

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

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: kidney support.
  • We looked for evidence on: renal function, urinary health, kidney health, renal health.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for shilajeet's effectiveness on the conditions this product targets isn't established in our data — we hold ratings of insufficient reliable evidence for Alzheimer disease, sexual dysfunction, athletic performance, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and osteopenia. No effectiveness ratings are on file for the other active ingredients.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Adrue Shilajit

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 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Cyperus has very limited human safety data, so it should be used cautiously under professional guidance. The safety data advises against using cyperus during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Shilajeet carries important cautions: unpurified products may contain heavy metals or other contaminants, so only use purified, tested brands. Shilajeet is best avoided during pregnancy due to limited safety data and contamination risk, and should be avoided while breastfeeding.

Rarely, headache has been reported after taking shilajeet, and in isolated cases, allergy with severe reaction (anaphylaxis) and changes in blood pressure have occurred — though a direct causal link wasn't confirmed for the latter.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Adrue Shilajit

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Adrue, Shilajit.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 342 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 UriCare, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you use benzodiazepines (such as diazepam or clonazepam), barbiturates, other CNS depressants, or antidiabetes drugs — all carry Moderate-severity interaction potential with ingredients in this product. Several ingredients in the herbal blend couldn't be checked against our database, so running your complete medication list through the tool on this page is important.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is intended for people interested in herbal support, but if you take benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants, or if you're on antidiabetes medications, you need to check your exact drug list before starting. Pregnancy and breastfeeding aren't recommended with this product.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding UriCare to your routine, especially if you're on any prescriptions.

Cyperus3 drug types · 256 drugs

Barbiturates

Animal research suggests that taking adrue in combination with sodium thiopental increases total sleep time three-fold compared to the effects of sodium thiopental alone. Theoretically, concomitant use of adrue and barbiturates might increase the risk of drowsiness and motor reflex depression. Some barbiturates include amobarbital (Amytal), butabarbital (Butisol), mephobarbital (Mebaral), pentobarbital (Nembutal), phenobarbital (Luminal), secobarbital (Seconal), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Benzodiazepines

Animal research suggests that taking adrue in combination with diazepam increases total sleep time four-fold compared to the effects of diazepam alone. Theoretically, concomitant use adrue and benzodiazepines might increase the risk of drowsiness and motor reflex depression. Some benzodiazepines include clonazepam (Klonopin), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), and others.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Animal research suggests that taking adrue in combination with sodium thiopental or diazepam increases total sleep time up to four-fold compared to the effects of the drugs alone. Theoretically, concomitant use of adrue with CNS depressants might cause additive sedation. Some CNS depressants include benzodiazepines, such as diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), triazolam (Halcion), and estazolam (ProSom); barbiturates, such as mephobarbital (Mebaral), phenobarbital (Luminal Sodium), and pentobarbital sodium (Nembutal); zolpidem (Ambien); and others.

Shilajeet1 drug type · 86 drugs

Antidiabetes Drugs

Taking shilajit with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Most human and animal research shows that shilajit can decrease fasting plasma glucose levels. In an animal model, shilajit 100 mg per kg daily enhanced the glucose-lowering ability of both glibenclamide and metformin when given in combination over a 4 week period. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.

UriCare by Himalaya: Common Questions

Does UriCare by Himalaya interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, UriCare has a known interaction with 342 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
UriCare contains 8 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 UriCare if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against using this product during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The cyperus and shilajeet it contains have insufficient safety information for these situations. Talk with your doctor before considering any herbal product during pregnancy or while nursing.
What's shilajeet, and is it safe?
Shilajeet is a mineral-rich substance used in traditional herbal blends. The key safety point is that unpurified products may contain heavy metals or contaminants, so only use purified, tested brands. In rare cases, allergy or headache has been reported with shilajeet use.
Does UriCare actually work for what it claims?
We don't have established effectiveness data for shilajeet or the other active ingredients in this product in our database. The ratings we hold for shilajeet on various conditions are insufficient reliable evidence, meaning the science isn't settled yet.
What should I do if I'm on blood sugar medication?
The shilajeet in UriCare may lower blood sugar, so combining it with antidiabetes drugs could raise the risk of low blood sugar. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — don't add this on your own.
I take a benzodiazepine for anxiety. Is UriCare safe with it?
Animal research suggests the cyperus in UriCare could significantly increase drowsiness and slow your motor reflexes if combined with benzodiazepines. That's a Moderate-severity interaction, so you need to discuss this with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
