Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vertigopas by Pascoe

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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 5 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Vertigopas contains 5 active ingredients. Three of them — hemlock water dropwort (Oenanthe crocata), levant berry (Anamirta cocculus), and hemlock (Conium maculatum) — are poisons and must never be consumed.

The product also contains ambra grisea and petroleum rectificatum, neither of which we hold data for. The liquid form includes alcohol and purified water as inactive ingredients.

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: homeopathic remedy for dizziness and vertigo.
  • We looked for evidence on: vertigo, dizziness, balance disorder.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We hold no effectiveness ratings for any ingredient in this product. The evidence for whether Vertigopas works for its intended purpose is not established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hemlock Water Dropwort Levant Berry Hemlock

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

This product is unsafe and must not be used. Hemlock water dropwort is fatal if eaten and causes nausea, vomiting, seizures, cardiac arrest, respiratory depression, and death, with no known antidote.

Levant berry contains picrotoxin, a potent toxin that causes seizures and death; the lethal dose is just 2–3 seeds. Hemlock is equally deadly, causing paralysis, respiratory arrest, and death.

All three ingredients are toxic during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is no safe dose of any of these poisons.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Hemlock Water Dropwort Levant Berry Hemlock

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 3 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check. However, medication interactions are irrelevant — this product contains three poisons that are fatal in any amount.

Do not use it.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

Do not take this product. Three of its five active ingredients are deadly poisons.

If you or someone else has swallowed Vertigopas, call poison control (1-800-222-1222 in the US) or emergency services immediately.

Vertigopas by Pascoe: Common Questions

Does Vertigopas by Pascoe interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Vertigopas. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vertigopas contains 5 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.
Is Vertigopas safe to take?
No. Three of its five active ingredients — hemlock water dropwort, levant berry, and hemlock — are poisons. Hemlock water dropwort and hemlock can cause cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and death. Levant berry contains picrotoxin, which causes seizures and death at very small doses. There is no safe amount of any of these ingredients.
What if I accidentally took some?
Call poison control at 1-800-222-1222 (US) or your local emergency number right away. There is no antidote for hemlock water dropwort poisoning, so medical professionals need to support you with emergency care immediately.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Absolutely not. All three toxic ingredients are unsafe in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Hemlock and hemlock water dropwort can cause birth defects or death. Levant berry is unsafe during breastfeeding. Do not use this product at any time if you are pregnant or nursing.
Why does a supplement contain poison?
Oenanthe crocata, Anamirta cocculus, and Conium maculatum are listed in traditional herbals but are unequivocally toxic and have no safe clinical use. They should not be in any product intended for human consumption.
