HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Lettuce and Valerian by Hawaii Pharm

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

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Extract Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (983 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: a proprietary extract blend (whose specific composition isn't detailed separately), valerian root extract, and wild lettuce herb extract, both in dry form. The liquid is made with alcohol, water, and glycerin as inactive ingredients.

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: sleep and relaxation support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Insomnia, Stress, Sleep quality, Nervous tension.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Valerian is rated "Possibly Effective" for Insomnia (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Valerian is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Stress.

Valerian root is possibly effective for insomnia—the main use backed by some trial evidence. For restless legs syndrome, pre-procedural anxiety, stress, and menstrual cramps, the evidence isn't established in our data.

Wild lettuce has no effectiveness ratings in our records, so we can't speak to whether it works for any particular condition based on what we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Valerian Wild Lettuce

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Valerian is generally well tolerated in the short term, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. Most people report dizziness, drowsiness, and mental slowness; headache, nausea, excitability, and vivid dreams also occur.

If you take it for weeks or months and then stop abruptly, you might experience withdrawal symptoms like rapid heartbeat, anxiety, irritability, and insomnia—taper slowly instead. Rare case reports link valerian to liver injury, usually in multi-ingredient products.

Wild lettuce has limited human safety data; large doses can cause sweating, fast breathing, dizziness, ringing in the ears, vision problems, and head pressure. Valerian is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding—the data doesn't support its safety.

Wild lettuce also lacks enough safety information for pregnancy and breastfeeding, so avoid it in both states. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Wild Lettuce, Valerian.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 983 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 product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on CNS depressants (sedating drugs like sleep aids, pain relievers, or anti-seizure medications), alprazolam or other benzodiazepines, alcohol, anticholinergic drugs (like some antihistamines or urinary medications), or any glucuronidated drugs—a group your liver processes through a specific pathway.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help with insomnia if you're looking for a herbal option, but it carries real risks of adding to sedation if you're on any CNS depressant, anti-anxiety medication, or alcohol. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, skip it.

Valerian Root Extract, Dry6 drug types · 902 drugs

Alcohol (Ethanol)

Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with alcohol.
Valerian has sedative effects. Theoretically, valerian might have an additive sedative effect when combined with alcohol. Excessive sedation has been reported in an alcohol-abusing individual who took valerian and Gingko biloba. However, the potential interaction between valerian and alcohol has been disputed in other research. Limited evidence suggests that a combination of valerian 160 mg and lemon balm 80 mg (Euvegal) does not cause further deterioration in reaction ability and reaction rate when taken with alcohol as compared to the effects of alcohol alone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Alprazolam (Xanax)

Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used with alprazolam. Also, valerian in high doses might modestly increase alprazolam levels, though this is not likely to be clinically significant.
Valerian has sedative effects. Theoretically, valerian might cause additive sedation when combined with alprazolam. Also, a small pharmacokinetic study shows that taking valerian extract 1000 mg daily (providing 11 mg valerenic acid) might increase alprazolam levels by about 19%. This might be due to valerian's mild inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4). Despite being statistically significant, this increase is not likely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Cns Depressants

Valerian can have additive sedative effects when used concomitantly with CNS depressant drugs.
Theoretically, concomitant use of valerian and drugs with sedative and anesthetic properties may cause additive therapeutic and adverse effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Glucuronidated Drugs

Valerian might weakly inhibit glucuronidation and increase concentrations of drugs metabolized by UGT1A1 and UGT2B7.
In vitro research shows that methanolic valerian extract and valerenic acid might competitively inhibit UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 (UGT1A1) and UGT2B7.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cytochrome P450 2D6 (Cyp2D6) Substrates

Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian affects CYP2D6, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian is unlikely to affect the CYP2D6 enzyme. In one PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days did not affect the metabolism of dextromethorphan, a CYP2D6 substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of debrisoquine, an accepted CYP2D6 probe-substrate.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Valerian does not seem to have a clinically relevant effect on levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
Although some in vitro evidence suggests that valerian extract might inhibit or induce CYP3A4, clinical pharmacokinetic (PK) studies show that valerian does not have a clinically significant effect on the CYP3A4 enzyme. In one PK study, taking valerian 125 mg three times daily for 28 days did not affect metabolism of midazolam, an accepted CYP3A4 probe-substrate. In another PK study, taking valerian 1000 mg (providing about 11 mg valerenic acid) nightly for 14 days modestly increases levels of alprazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate, suggesting mild inhibition of CYP3A4. However, this mild inhibition is unlikely to be clinically relevant.

Anticholinergic Drugs

Studies report varying evidence on whether or not wild lettuce contains hyoscyamine, an anticholinergic drug. If it does, it appears to be in very low amounts. Nevertheless, there have been case reports of individuals consuming large amounts of wild lettuce experiencing anticholinergic-related side effects, such as constipation, dry mouth, dizziness, and sweating. Therefore, if you are already taking a drug with anticholinergic effects, you should be cautious about combining it with wild lettuce as the risk of side effects may be increased.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Cns Depressants

Theoretically, concomitant use with drugs with sedative effects might cause additive therapeutic effects and adverse effects.

Wild Lettuce and Valerian by Hawaii Pharm: Common Questions

Does Wild Lettuce and Valerian by Hawaii Pharm interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Lettuce and Valerian has a known interaction with 982 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Wild Lettuce and Valerian contains 2 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 on a sleeping pill or anti-anxiety medication?
Not without talking to your pharmacist first. Both valerian and wild lettuce can add to the drowsiness and sedation these drugs already cause, which could be unsafe. Check your exact medication on this page.
Will this help me sleep?
Valerian root is possibly effective for insomnia based on trial evidence. Wild lettuce has no effectiveness ratings in our data, so we can't say whether it works for sleep.
What are the most common side effects?
Dizziness, drowsiness, and mental slowness are typical. You might also get headaches, nausea, vivid dreams, or excitability. Large doses of wild lettuce can cause additional effects like ringing in the ears and vision problems.
Is it safe to use long-term?
Long-term safety of valerian hasn't been well studied. If you take it for weeks or months, stop gradually instead of quitting all at once—sudden stopping can trigger withdrawal symptoms like rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and insomnia.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. Neither valerian nor wild lettuce has enough safety data to use during pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about safer options if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
What if I drink alcohol while taking this?
Don't combine them. Valerian and alcohol both sedate you, and together they cause too much drowsiness and slow mental function. Avoid alcohol while using this product.
