The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Angel's Trumpet and Formoterol 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. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.

Interaction report

Angel's Trumpet and Formoterol

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 Formoterol and Angel's Trumpet 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Formoterol

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Formoterol is filed under 3 classifications — cytochrome p450 2c19 (cyp2c19) substrates, cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates, cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) substrates. Angel's Trumpet has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being anticholinergic drugs (moderate) — and none of Formoterol’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Angel's Trumpet and Formoterol May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

This is not an interaction. Neither one changes how your body handles the other, and nothing here says they react together. What our sources do show is that each has separately been linked to the effects below — so taking both can make those effects more likely to turn up, and harder to pin on one or the other if they do. One of them is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Formoterol page

“Formoterol (Foradil, Perforomist) is the long-acting half of many asthma and COPD inhalers, keeping airways open for hours, and its supplement list is calmer than its length suggests. None of the 103 ingredients on file is rated major.”

About Angel's Trumpet

What is Angel's Trumpet?

Angel's Trumpet
  • Traditional folk medicine
  • Asthma or breathing remedies (historical)
  • Pain relief (traditional)
  • Recreational hallucinogen (dangerous misuse)
  • Ornamental garden plant

Angel's Trumpet is a highly poisonous ornamental plant that contains powerful toxins like scopolamine and atropine. There is no safe medicinal dose, and even small amounts can cause hallucinations, dangerous heart effects, coma, or death. It should not be taken as a supplement or remedy.

Brugmansia spp. · Solanaceae · Flowers, leaves, seeds, and roots (all parts are toxic) · Ornamental plant; rarely as teas, infusions, or smoked preparations (all unsafe)

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

Angel's Trumpet: dosing

There is no safe or established dose of Angel's Trumpet. The amount of toxin in the plant varies greatly from one plant, flower, or season to another, so even people who think they are using a "small" amount can be seriously poisoned.Because of these dangers, we cannot provide any dosing guidance, and we strongly advise against using this plant in any form.

About Formoterol Oral Inhalation

What Is Formoterol Oral Inhalation Used For?

Brand names: Foradil Aerolizer, Atimos Modulite, Oxis Turbohaler, Perforomist, Foradil Certihaler

Formoterol fumarate inhalation solution is used for the long-term maintenance treatment of airway narrowing (bronchoconstriction) in adults with COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It is taken twice daily — morning and evening — as a regular, ongoing treatment.

Important limits: This medication is not for relieving sudden COPD flare-ups or breathlessness in the moment, and it is not approved to treat asthma. A separate short-acting inhaler should always be on hand for sudden symptoms.

Taking Angel's Trumpet and Formoterol Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Angel's Trumpet with Formoterol?
We do not list a known interaction between Angel's Trumpet and Formoterol. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Angel's Trumpet and Formoterol have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 6 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Angel's Trumpet and Formoterol combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Formoterol is filed under 3 classifications, and Angel's Trumpet has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Formoterol's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Angel's Trumpet interact with any other medications?
Yes. Angel's Trumpet has 195 documented drug interactions in our database — Formoterol is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Formoterol interact with any supplements?
Yes. Formoterol has documented interactions with 103 supplements in our database — Angel's Trumpet is not one of them. The Formoterol interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
