HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vinpocetine 10 mg by Ecological Formulas

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 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: vinpocetine, a compound extracted from the periwinkle plant. The capsule also holds three inactive ingredients — silicon dioxide, cellulose, and magnesium stearate — which are fillers and binders used to hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Memory and cognitive brain support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related cognitive decline, Memory, Dementia, Stroke, Tinnitus, Hearing loss — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Vinpocetine is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dementia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Vinpocetine is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related cognitive decline, Hearing loss, Memory, Stroke, and more.

Vinpocetine is possibly effective for dementia based on the evidence we hold. For tinnitus, motion sickness, stroke, and chronic fatigue syndrome, the evidence isn't established well enough to rate its usefulness.

If you're considering it for any of these conditions, ask your pharmacist or doctor what the research actually supports for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Vinpocetine

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.

Vinpocetine is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects reported orally are anxiety, dizziness, headache, flushing, stomach discomfort, sleep problems, and hives.

Serious but rare side effects include a sudden drop in certain white blood cells (agranulocytosis), irregular heartbeat, and seizures. The FDA has advised that people who are pregnant or could become pregnant should not use vinpocetine.

There isn't enough safety information for breastfeeding, so it's best avoided if you're nursing. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting if you're in either situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Vinpocetine

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 — Vinpocetine.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 208 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 take this, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs — vinpocetine raises bleeding risk with these. Also check if you take any medications broken down by the CYP2C9 enzyme in your liver, since vinpocetine may affect how your body clears them.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Vinpocetine may be worth considering if you're dealing with dementia and your doctor approves — but it needs a medication check first because it interacts with blood thinners and certain other drugs. If you take any blood thinner or antiplatelet medication, or if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Vinpocetine3 drug types · 208 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Vinpocetine might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Clinical research shows that vinpocetine decreases red blood cell aggregation, as well as plasma and whole blood viscosity. This effect has been seen with intravenous vinpocetine 1 mg/kg and oral vinpocetine 30 mg daily. Vinpocetine also seems to have antiplatelet effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates

Theoretically, vinpocetine might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that vinpocetine weakly inhibits CYP2C9. However, this effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Vinpocetine might modestly increase the risk of bleeding when taken with warfarin.
Clinical research shows that the combination of warfarin and vinpocetine leads to slight increases in prothrombin time and the area under the concentration curve for warfarin. However, these increases were small, and researchers suggest that this interaction is not likely to be clinically significant in most patients.

Vinpocetine 10 mg by Ecological Formulas: Common Questions

Does Vinpocetine 10 mg by Ecological Formulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vinpocetine 10 mg has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vinpocetine 10 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 vinpocetine safe to take while pregnant?
No. The FDA has advised that people who are pregnant or could become pregnant should not use vinpocetine. Talk to your doctor before starting if you're planning to become pregnant.
Can I take vinpocetine if I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. It's best to avoid it and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your options.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common ones reported are anxiety, dizziness, headache, flushing, stomach discomfort, sleep problems, and hives. Most people tolerate it well in the short term.
Does vinpocetine work for all the conditions on the label?
No. It's possibly effective for dementia, but for tinnitus, motion sickness, stroke, and chronic fatigue syndrome, we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works. Talk to your doctor about what it's actually been studied for.
Why does vinpocetine interact with blood thinners?
Vinpocetine thins your blood by reducing how much red blood cells clump together and lowering blood thickness. When you combine it with a blood thinner like warfarin, your bleeding risk goes up.
How long can I safely take vinpocetine?
It's generally well tolerated short-term, but long-term safety data aren't well established. Ask your pharmacist or doctor how long it's reasonable to take it and when to reassess.
