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 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
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.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
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.

VigRX Incontinix by Leading Edge Health Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
VigRX Incontinix, by Leading Edge Health, does interact with medications—specifically through its horsetail extract.
The most serious concern is with HIV drugs: horsetail might reduce the effectiveness of nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and efavirenz, with case reports of patients developing detectable viral loads when combining horsetail supplements with antiretroviral therapy. This is a Moderate-severity interaction that could compromise HIV treatment.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Horsetail also carries Moderate interactions with three other medication types. It may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) if you're taking antidiabetes drugs, and it might increase potassium loss if you're on diuretic drugs (water pills).
If you take lithium for mood disorders, horsetail could raise lithium levels in your body, potentially requiring a dose adjustment.
We could not check two other ingredients in this product—Cratevox Three-leaf Caper and Lindera Root Extract—because we hold no interaction data for them. Altogether, these interactions span 188 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.
