Drug & supplement interaction

Cursed Buttercup + Omeprazole

Omeprazole brand names: Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Cursed Buttercup and Omeprazole 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.

Cursed Buttercup and Omeprazole

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 Omeprazole and Cursed Buttercup 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 Cursed Buttercup at all — not against Omeprazole, 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 to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Cursed Buttercup and Omeprazole May Share a Side Effect

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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Omeprazole page

“Omeprazole (Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec) is an acid reducer for heartburn, reflux, and ulcers, and because it sits on pharmacy shelves next to the vitamins, people tend to assume it mixes safely with anything. This list argues otherwise, and it warrants genuine care.”

About Cursed Buttercup

What is Cursed Buttercup?

  • Traditional topical use for skin and joint complaints
  • Folk remedy for warts and skin growths (as a counterirritant)
  • Historical use for fevers
  • Traditional use for swelling or pain

Cursed Buttercup is a toxic wetland plant that can cause severe skin blistering and dangerous poisoning if eaten. It is not a safe or proven dietary supplement, and there is no reliable evidence supporting any medicinal use. Do not take it internally or apply it to your skin without medical supervision—in practice, it is best avoided entirely.

Ranunculus sceleratus · Ranunculaceae · Whole plant (leaves, stems, flowers); historically used topically · Fresh plant poultice or crushed leaves in traditional practice; not sold as a standardized supplement

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

Cursed Buttercup: dosing

There is no established or safe dose of Cursed Buttercup. It is not a recognized dietary supplement, and no reputable product provides standardized, tested amounts.Because the plant is toxic, the safest approach is to not use it at all.

About Omeprazole

What Is Omeprazole Used For?

Brand names: Prilosec, Zegerid, Losec

Omeprazole is used to treat a range of conditions where stomach acid causes problems. These include heartburn and acid reflux (GERD), erosive esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from acid), and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It can also be used alongside antibiotics to help get rid of an H. pylori infection — a bacteria that causes ulcers.

In more serious cases, omeprazole is used to manage conditions where the stomach produces far too much acid, such as pathologic hypersecretory conditions (rare medical disorders that cause extreme acid overproduction). It is approved for adults and children one year of age and older for GERD and erosive esophagitis.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Omeprazole

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (448,293 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Chronic kidney disease 36,807 reports
Nausea 27,095 reports
Fatigue 26,259 reports
Diarrhea 25,668 reports

Taking Cursed Buttercup and Omeprazole Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Cursed Buttercup with Omeprazole?

Do Cursed Buttercup and Omeprazole have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to one of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other.
