Butea Superba and Furosemide

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 Furosemide and Butea Superba 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 Furosemide

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Furosemide is filed under 9 classifications — including loop diuretics, diuretic drugs, organic anion transporter 3 (oat3) substrates. Butea Superba has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (moderate) — and none of Furosemide’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.

  • Hearing loss Worth acting on
  • Blood clots Worth acting on
  • Pancreatitis Worth acting on
  • Yellowing of the skin or eyes Worth acting on
  • A severe skin reaction Worth acting on
  • A low platelet count Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Furosemide. Read the label on DailyMed › Butea Superba’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Butea Superba side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Butea Superba has no side effects.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Furosemide page

“Yellow dock is where I would start with furosemide (Lasix). This water pill already flushes potassium, and heavy yellow dock use can compound that loss, one of nine major-rated interactions on a list of 227 that deserves genuine care.”

Butea Superba
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Low libido

Butea superba is a Thai herb traditionally used to support male sexual health, but the human evidence is very limited and mostly small or low-quality.
