The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between American Adder's Tongue and Quinidine in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

American Adder's Tongue and Quinidine

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Quinidine and American Adder's Tongue in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for American Adder's Tongue at all — not against Quinidine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Quinidine.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Quinidine

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), American Hellebore (major), Arsenic (major), Beer (major) and Cesium (major).

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Quinidine page

“Grapefruit belongs nowhere near quinidine. The juice blocks the main enzyme that clears this heart rhythm medicine, so quinidine levels can climb into dangerous territory, and it leads a list of 207 supplement and herbal ingredients I would treat with real seriousness, 15 of them rated major.”

About American Adder's Tongue

What is American Adder's Tongue?

American Adder's Tongue
  • Skin ulcers and wounds
  • Swollen glands
  • Minor skin irritation
  • Folk remedy for nausea (as an emetic)

American Adder's Tongue (Erythronium americanum) is a woodland lily used in traditional folk medicine, mainly as a crushed-leaf poultice for skin ulcers and wounds. There is very little modern scientific evidence to support any of its uses, and safety information is limited, so it should be used cautiously and avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Erythronium americanum · Liliaceae · Leaves and tubers (corms) · Crushed fresh leaves (poultice), juice, tea, tincture

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether American Adder's Tongue is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our American Adder's Tongue record says about it on its own.

American Adder's Tongue: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for American Adder's Tongue. Because it has not been studied in modern clinical research, no safe and effective amount has been identified.If a product is sold commercially, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them. Avoid eating raw leaves or corms, as this can cause vomiting.

About Quinidine

What Is Quinidine Used For?

Brand names: Quinaglute Duratabs, Quinaglute, Duraquin, Cardioquin, Cin-Quin, Quinora, Lin-Qin, Quinova, Quinidex Extentabs

Quinidine is used to help restore a normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (irregular, rapid heart rhythms originating in the upper chambers). It is also used on an ongoing basis to reduce how often those episodes come back, in patients whose episodes are frequent and poorly tolerated — but only after other options have been tried first.

Quinidine sulfate oral tablets and quinidine gluconate extended-release oral tablets are both approved for these heart-rhythm uses. Quinidine sulfate tablets are additionally used as part of an approved treatment regimen for life-threatening Plasmodium falciparum malaria, in combination with quinidine gluconate injection (the central component of that regimen). Both formulations may also be used to suppress recurrent, documented life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (dangerous rapid rhythms in the lower chambers of the heart), such as sustained ventricular tachycardia.
