The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Castor Bean and Amphetamine 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.

Castor Bean and Amphetamine

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 Amphetamine and Castor Bean 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 Amphetamine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Amphetamine is filed under 6 classifications — including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (maois), amphetamines, stimulant drugs. Castor Bean has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being diuretic drugs (moderate) — and none of Amphetamine’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.

Keep it in perspective

What Castor Bean Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Amphetamine. It is the side-effect record for Castor Bean on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Castor Bean, this list is the first place to look. 10 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Castor Bean in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Possibly Safe

When castor oil is used orally in pregnant women at term. Although there have been reports of fetal meconium passage being more common with castor oil use in pregnant women, clinical research shows that the incidence of fetal meconium passage does not significantly differ from no castor oil use. Midwives routinely use castor oil for labor induction in pregnant women at term. This practice does not appear to adversely affect the mother or fetus. However, castor oil should not be used without the supervision of a clinician.

Pregnancy Likely Unsafe

When castor oil is used orally in pregnant women who are not at term. Castor oil might induce premature labor and induce miscarriage; avoid using.

Pregnancy Unsafe

When the whole seed is used orally. The chewed or uncoated seeds can cause severe toxic effects, including death; avoid using. There is insufficient reliable information available about the safety of using the hulled seed or topical use of castor during pregnancy.

“Amphetamine (Dyanavel XR, Adzenys ER, Mydayis) is a prescription stimulant, usually taken for ADHD, and its interaction list is one to approach with genuine care.

About Castor Bean

What is Castor Bean?

  • Constipation relief
  • Skin and hair care
  • Labor induction (folk use)
  • Topical anti-inflammatory packs
  • Joint and muscle massage

Castor bean is the source of castor oil, a well-known stimulant laxative, but the raw seeds contain ricin, a potent and potentially deadly poison. The processed oil is generally considered safe when used as directed, while the whole or chewed seeds should never be eaten. Always talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using castor oil, especially during pregnancy or for children.

Ricinus communis · Euphorbiaceae · Seeds (beans) and the oil pressed from them · Castor oil (liquid), capsules, topical oils, and packs

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

Castor Bean: dosing

There is no single standard dose for all uses. For constipation, castor oil is sold as an over-the-counter laxative, and you should follow the directions on the product label or your pharmacist's advice. It is meant for short-term, occasional use only.Do not use higher amounts hoping for a stronger effect, and do not use it daily without medical guidance.

About Amphetamine

What Is Amphetamine Used For?

Brand names: Dyanavel XR, Adensys XR-ODT, Mydayis, Adzenys ER

Amphetamine treats Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in patients 6 years and older. Adzenys XR-ODT, Dyanavel XR, and the amphetamine extended-release orally disintegrating tablet formulations are specifically approved for ADHD in this age group.

Amphetamine Sulfate tablets and Evekeo (amphetamine sulfate tablets) are also approved for narcolepsy (a sleep disorder causing uncontrollable daytime sleepiness) and as a short-term aid in a calorie-restricted weight-loss program for exogenous obesity (weight gain from external factors like overeating) in patients who have not responded to other approaches.

Taking Castor Bean and Amphetamine Together: Common Questions

How was the Castor Bean and Amphetamine combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Amphetamine is filed under 6 classifications, and Castor Bean has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Amphetamine'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 Castor Bean interact with any other medications?
Yes. Castor Bean has 75 documented drug interactions in our database — Amphetamine 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 Amphetamine interact with any supplements?
Yes. Amphetamine has documented interactions with 130 supplements in our database — Castor Bean is not one of them. The Amphetamine interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
