HelloPharmacist Scorecard of VigRX Incontinix by Leading Edge Health
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
VigRX Incontinix contains 3 active ingredients. Horsetail aerial parts extract is included for urinary incontinence, though the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data.
The product also contains Cratevox Three-leaf Caper stem bark extract and Lindera Root Extract, ingredients we could not evaluate for interactions or effects. The capsules also hold inactive ingredients — hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, rice flour, and silica — which are standard binders and fillers.
Does it work?
Not established
Our data rates horsetail's effectiveness for urinary incontinence as insufficient reliable evidence. The same goes for the other claims sometimes made for this product: obesity, tonsillitis, and hair loss (androgenic alopecia) all lack established evidence in our monographs.
If you're considering this product for any of these uses, the research backing isn't solid enough yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Horsetail is generally well tolerated in short-term use by healthy adults, but long-term use carries real risks we don't fully understand. The most common side effects in trials were abdominal bloating, increased bowel movements, and nausea.
Crude horsetail contains a compound called thiaminase that can cause thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency if you take it for a long time — though Canadian horsetail products are required to be tested and certified free from this risk. There's also a case report of a severe skin reaction after topical horsetail application.
The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. The other two active ingredients have insufficient safety data on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start VigRX Incontinix, double-check with your pharmacist if you take any HIV antiretroviral drugs (especially NRTIs like zidovudine or lamivudine, or efavirenz), antidiabetes medications, diuretics (water pills), or lithium. Horsetail in this product has documented Moderate-severity interactions with all of these drug types.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may be worth considering if you're dealing with urinary incontinence, but the evidence backing it isn't strong. If you take blood sugar medications, water pills, lithium, or HIV antiretroviral drugs — especially NRTIs or efavirenz — you'll want to check with your pharmacist first; horsetail can interfere with how these work.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you and how long it's safe to use.

VigRX Incontinix by Leading Edge Health Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
VigRX Incontinix contains three active ingredients, and one of them — horsetail — does interact with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with HIV drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and efavirenz (Sustiva): case reports show that horsetail-containing supplements have been linked to detectable viral loads in patients taking these antiretrovirals, suggesting horsetail may reduce their effectiveness. This is a Moderate-severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Horsetail also has documented Moderate-severity interactions with antidiabetes drugs (it may lower blood sugar further and raise the risk of low blood sugar), diuretic drugs (it may increase potassium loss), and lithium (it may raise lithium levels and side effects).
We could not check two other ingredients in this product — Cratevox Three-leaf Caper stem bark extract and Lindera Root Extract — because we hold no interaction data for them. Altogether, these interactions span 186 individual medications.

For each ingredient in VigRX Incontinix 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.
Horsetail Aerial Parts Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking horsetail with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Equisetum myriochaetum has demonstrated hypoglycemic activity in clinical research. In an animal diabetic model, Equisetum giganteum had hypoglycemic effects. It is unclear whether other horsetail species have hypoglycemic effects.
Diuretic Drugs
Theoretically, taking horsetail with diuretic drugs might increase potassium loss and the risk of hypokalemia.
Laboratory research shows that various species of horsetail have diuretic properties. Due to its diuretic effects, there has been concern that taking horsetail along with potassium-depleting diuretics might increase the risk for hypokalemia. However, pharmacokinetic research in humans shows that taking horsetail 900 mg daily for 4 days does not affect urinary excretion of electrolytes, including potassium and sodium, despite having a diuretic effect similar to taking hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily. It is unclear if taking horsetail for a longer duration would affect electrolyte levels. Until more is known, use with caution.
Efavirenz (Sustiva)
Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of efavirenz.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral regimen that included efavirenz. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing horsetail, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of this interaction is unknown. It is also unclear if this interaction is specific to efavirenz or if it is related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.
Lithium
Theoretically, horsetail might increase the levels and adverse effects of lithium.
Animal research suggests that horsetail has diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, horsetail might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (Nrtis)
Theoretically, horsetail might decrease the levels and clinical effects of NRTIs.
In two case reports, patients were found to have detectable viral loads when taking horsetail-containing supplements along with an antiretroviral therapy. In one case, the antiretroviral regimen included zidovudine, lamivudine, and efavirenz; in the other case, the regimen consisted of emtricitabine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, and efavirenz. One month after discontinuing the supplement, the viral loads became undetectable in both cases. The exact mechanism of these interactions is unknown. It is also unclear if these interactions are specific to NRTIs or if they are related to various components of antiretroviral therapy.
