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.

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Urox Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (840 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

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
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Horsetail's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: bladder tone and healthy bladder control.
  • We looked for evidence on: Urinary incontinence, Overactive bladder, Urge incontinence, Stress incontinence.
  • The closest evidence on file: Horsetail is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary incontinence (Natural Medicines).

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Horsetail

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.

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.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Horsetail

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 — Horsetail.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 188 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 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.

Ingredients driving the most interactions

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

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 Extract5 drug types · 188 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

VigRX Incontinix by Leading Edge Health: Common Questions

Does VigRX Incontinix by Leading Edge Health interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, VigRX Incontinix has a known interaction with 188 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
VigRX Incontinix contains 3 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 this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. If you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk with your doctor before considering this product.
What are the side effects?
The most common ones from clinical research are bloating, more frequent bowel movements, and nausea. Horsetail also contains a compound that can cause vitamin B1 deficiency with long-term use, though Canadian products are tested to be free of this risk.
Does this actually work for incontinence?
Our data rates horsetail's effectiveness for urinary incontinence as insufficient reliable evidence — meaning the research backing isn't solid enough yet to say whether it works.
Why can't you check all three ingredients for interactions?
We hold no interaction data for Cratevox Three-leaf Caper stem bark extract or Lindera Root Extract. That doesn't mean they're safe — it means we haven't found published monographs to check them against.
Is this safe to take long-term?
The safety data suggests it's okay for short-term use by healthy adults, but long-term use carries risks we don't fully understand yet. Talk with your pharmacist about how long you should take it.
