HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Uva Ursi 460 mg by Solaray

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.

This product contains a single active ingredient: uva ursi leaf extract, supplied at 460 mg per capsule. Uva ursi is a plant traditionally used to support urinary tract health.

The capsule also contains two inactive ingredients—cellulose and rice bran extract—which serve as fillers and binding material.

Does it work?

Leans against
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
Leans against

The strongest graded evidence we hold for the stated purpose leans against a benefit.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: urinary tract support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary discomfort, kidney health, urinary antiseptic.
  • The closest evidence on file: Uva Ursi is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Urinary tract infections (UTIs) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for uva ursi is limited. For urinary tract infections, it's rated possibly ineffective based on the data we hold.

For bronchitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate gland), there isn't enough reliable evidence to determine whether it works. If you're considering this product for one of those conditions, chat with your pharmacist about what the research currently supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Uva Ursi

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.

Uva ursi is generally well tolerated at low doses when used short-term. The most common side effects are mild—diarrhea, nausea, stomach upset, and vomiting.

At very high doses (20 grams or more of the dried herb), it can cause serious effects like tremors, confusion, shortness of breath, and ringing in the ears. Doses of 30 grams or more may be fatal.

Do not exceed the recommended dose or use this product long-term without talking to your pharmacist, as prolonged use can be toxic. Avoid uva ursi during pregnancy—it may stimulate the uterus and there isn't enough safety data.

Skip it while breastfeeding as well, since safety information is insufficient. If you're pregnant or nursing, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

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 — Uva Ursi.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 804 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, double-check with your pharmacist if you take lithium (a mood stabilizer)—uva ursi may raise its levels. Also confirm if you're on any medications broken down by your liver's CYP2C19 or CYP3A4 enzymes, drugs cleared through glucuronidation, or any medicine transported by P-glycoprotein.

If you take medications that acidify your urine, let your pharmacist know, as they may reduce uva ursi's effect.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Uva ursi is a single-ingredient supplement traditionally used for urinary tract support, though the evidence for its effectiveness is weak. It interacts with several medication types, most notably lithium and certain drugs your liver metabolizes.

If you take any prescription medications, especially mood stabilizers, anticonvulsants, or heart drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting. Avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Uva Ursi6 drug types · 803 drugs

Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit cytochrome CYP2C19. This effect has not been reported in humans.

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

Theoretically, uva ursi may decrease the metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit CYP3A4. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase levels of drugs metabolized by glucuronidation.
In vitro, uva ursi extract appears to strongly inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1). However, uva ursi extract does not appear to inhibit UGT1A1 in animal models. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, uva ursi may increase lithium levels, necessitating a decrease in dose.
Uva ursi may have diuretic properties. Diuretics may increase lithium reabsorption with sodium in the proximal tubule of the kidney. Theoretically, uva ursi might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Urinary Acidifying Agents

Effects of uva ursi in the urinary tract may be reduced by urinary acidifying agents.
Uva ursi seems to work best in alkaline urine. Theoretically, taking uva ursi with medications known to acidify the urine may decrease any effects of uva ursi on the urinary tract.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
P-Glycoprotein Substrates

Theoretically, uva ursi may alter the levels of drugs transported by P-glycoprotein.
In vitro, uva ursi appears to inhibit the multi-drug transporter protein, P-glycoprotein. This effect has not been reported in humans.
