No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Common Stonecrop and Tolnaftate 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.

Common Stonecrop and Tolnaftate

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 Tolnaftate and Common Stonecrop 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 Common Stonecrop at all — not against Tolnaftate, 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.

What Common Stonecrop Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Tolnaftate. It is the side-effect record for Common Stonecrop on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Common Stonecrop, this list is the first place to look.

  • Diarrhea / Vomiting Additional detail

    “Orally, common stonecrop can cause vomiting and diarrhea when consumed in very large amounts (18).”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Common Stonecrop — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We haven’t matched Tolnaftate to its FDA label in our system yet, so we can’t compare its own side-effect list here — the leaflet that comes with your prescription is the authoritative list for Tolnaftate.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Tolnaftate

This page covers Common Stonecrop only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Tolnaftate page lists 20 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 12 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tolnaftate page

“For anyone using tolnaftate (Tinactin), the antifungal in athlete's foot creams and sprays, activated charcoal is the interaction to understand before all others. It holds the only major rating among the 20 ingredients on file, since charcoal binds many medicines and can lower how much reaches the body, even drugs not given by mouth.”

About Common Stonecrop

What is Common Stonecrop?

Common Stonecrop
  • Wounds and skin irritation
  • Eczema and other skin conditions
  • Constipation (laxative use)
  • Urinary and bladder complaints
  • High blood pressure (folk use)

Common Stonecrop (Sedum acre) is a small succulent with a long history in European folk medicine, mostly applied to the skin or used as a laxative. There is very little modern scientific evidence to support any of its uses, and the plant can be irritating and may cause vomiting or diarrhea when swallowed, so it should be used with caution and ideally avoided internally.

Sedum acre · Crassulaceae · Above-ground parts (leaves, stems, and flowering tops), used fresh or dried · Fresh plant, dried herb, topical preparations, and rarely teas or tinctures

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

Common Stonecrop: dosing

There is no established or standardized dose for Common Stonecrop. Because it has not been studied in proper clinical trials, safe and effective amounts are simply not known.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.

About Tolnaftate

What Is Tolnaftate Used For?

Brand name: Tinactin

Tolnaftate treats common fungal skin infections — specifically athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). It also helps relieve the itching, cracking, burning, scaling, redness, and soreness that come with these infections.

Several products also help prevent athlete's foot from coming back with regular daily use. Note that tolnaftate is not effective on the scalp or nails — though some patch products are applied around the nail and cuticle area to address skin surrounding the nail.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Tolnaftate

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,403 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 88 reports
Nausea 86 reports
Dyspnea 80 reports
Diarrhea 73 reports
Anxiety 69 reports
