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 three active ingredients: Cratevox Three-leaf Caper stem bark extract, a proprietary blend called Urox (made up of several component ingredients), and Lindera Root Extract, plus Horsetail Aerial Parts Extract. The product also includes inactive ingredients—hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, rice flour, and silica—which act as capsule material 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, stress incontinence, urgency incontinence.
  • The closest evidence on file: Horsetail is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Urinary incontinence (Natural Medicines).

The evidence on horsetail for urinary incontinence—this product's stated purpose—is insufficient to rate reliably. We also hold insufficient evidence for its use in obesity, tonsillitis, and male-pattern hair loss.

If you're considering this product for incontinence, talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what the current research actually supports for your situation.

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 short-term in healthy adults, but long-term use carries real risks. The most common side effects reported in limited clinical research are abdominal bloating, increased bowel movements, and nausea.

Crude horsetail contains thiaminase, an enzyme that can deplete thiamine (vitamin B1) with prolonged use—though Canadian horsetail products are required to be free from thiaminase-like activity. There is also one case report of seborrheic dermatitis from topical horsetail application.

During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data—the product should be avoided. The same goes for breastfeeding.

Two of the three active ingredients (Cratevox and Lindera) have no safety data on file for us to review.

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 taking VigRX Incontinix, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take HIV drugs (NRTIs or efavirenz), antidiabetes medications, diuretics (water pills), or lithium. Horsetail can reduce how well some HIV drugs work and may affect blood sugar control, potassium levels, and lithium levels.

These are all Moderate-severity interactions that may need dosing adjustments or closer monitoring.

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 appeal to someone looking for natural support for urinary symptoms, but the evidence for its effectiveness isn't established in our data. The main concern is if you take HIV medications, antidiabetes drugs, diuretics, or lithium—horsetail can meaningfully interact with those.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, the safety data advises against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this to your routine, especially if you're on any prescription medications.

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.
What is horsetail, and what does it do in this product?
Horsetail is a plant extract used in traditional medicine for various purposes, including urinary and bone health. It's one of the active ingredients in VigRX Incontinix, but the reliable evidence for what it actually does for incontinence is insufficient.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. There isn't enough safety data for horsetail during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the safety data advises against both. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer alternatives if you need support during this time.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common side effects reported from horsetail are abdominal bloating, increased bowel movements, and nausea. Long-term use can also deplete thiamine (vitamin B1), especially with crude horsetail products.
Does this product work for urinary incontinence?
The evidence on horsetail for urinary incontinence is insufficient to rate reliably, so we can't say whether it works based on the data we hold. Your doctor or pharmacist can discuss what research actually exists and whether this is the right choice for you.
What inactive ingredients are in this capsule?
The capsule contains hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (a plant-based capsule material), rice flour, and silica—all standard inactive fillers and binders.
Why can't you check the other two ingredients for drug interactions?
We don't hold monograph data for Cratevox Three-leaf Caper or Lindera Root Extract, so we weren't able to check them against medication databases. That doesn't mean they're safe to use with your drugs—it just means we don't have the information. Mention all three ingredients to your pharmacist or doctor when you ask about this product.
