HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Uva Ursi & Dandelion by TerraVita
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
This liquid contains 2 active ingredients: Dandelion Glycerite Liquid Extract and Uva-Ursi Glycerite Liquid Extract. Both are plant extracts prepared in glycerin.
Dandelion is traditionally used to support urinary and digestive function, while uva ursi is often taken for urinary tract health. The inactive ingredient is glycerin, which serves as the liquid base.
Does it work?
Leans against
The evidence for both ingredients in this product is limited. For dandelion, we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for joint pain, tonsillitis, or postoperative swelling and pain.
For uva ursi, it is rated possibly ineffective for urinary tract infections (UTIs), and we have insufficient reliable evidence for its use in bronchitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia. The data we hold does not establish that either ingredient is proven effective for the conditions it's traditionally used for.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Dandelion is generally well tolerated, but supplement-strength doses are less studied than food amounts. The most common side effects are diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach discomfort.
Rarely, it can cause allergic reactions including anaphylaxis, especially in people sensitive to the ragweed family (Asteraceae), which includes daisies and chrysanthemums. Topically, it may cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals.
Uva ursi is generally well tolerated at low doses for short-term use only, but it can be toxic at high doses or with prolonged use. Common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, stomach upset, and vomiting.
At very high doses (20 grams or more of dried herb), it has caused serious effects including convulsions, delirium, and shortness of breath; doses of 30 grams or more may be fatal. There is not enough safety information to use uva ursi while breastfeeding.
Dandelion also lacks enough reliable safety data for breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, double-check your medications for interactions, starting with blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs), diabetes medications, and lithium — all Moderate-severity concerns. Also check if you take water pills that preserve potassium, drugs metabolized by your liver (CYP1A2, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4 substrates), drugs broken down by glucuronidation, quinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin, urinary acidifying agents, or P-glycoprotein substrates.
Use the medication checker on this page with your exact prescriptions.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product combines two herbs with multiple medication interactions and limited proven effectiveness. If you take any prescription medications — especially blood thinners, diabetes drugs, lithium, or antibiotics — you need to check them against this product before starting.
Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before use, particularly if you're breastfeeding or planning to use this long-term.

Uva Ursi & Dandelion by TerraVita Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Uva Ursi & Dandelion by TerraVita contains two active ingredients with documented interactions.
The most serious concern is with blood thinners (anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs): dandelion may theoretically increase bleeding and bruising risk because laboratory research suggests it can slow platelet clumping.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Dandelion also interacts with several other medication types. It may raise blood sugar medication levels and increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
It could theoretically reduce how your body clears certain drugs broken down by your liver (CYP1A2 substrates, glucuronidated drugs), and it may increase lithium levels since it has mild diuretic effects. There's also a theoretical concern with quinolone antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin) — animal research shows dandelion can lower their levels significantly, though this hasn't been reported in people yet.
Additionally, dandelion contains potassium and may raise blood potassium to unsafe levels if you take potassium-sparing water pills.
Uva ursi adds further interactions. It may slow the metabolism of drugs processed through two major liver pathways (CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 substrates), and it may raise levels of drugs broken down by glucuronidation.
Like dandelion, uva ursi may increase lithium levels. It can also reduce the effectiveness of urinary acidifying medicines.
A minor theoretical concern exists with certain transport proteins (P-glycoprotein substrates).
Altogether, these interactions span 1,004 individual medications. Before you start this product, use the medication checker below with your exact prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs.

Uva Ursi & Dandelion Glycerite Liquid Extract
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
