The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Daffodil and Rosiglitazone Maleate in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist.

Daffodil and Rosiglitazone Maleate

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 Rosiglitazone Maleate and Daffodil 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 Daffodil at all — not against Rosiglitazone Maleate, 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

What Daffodil Itself Has Been Linked To

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

  • Seizures Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Daffodil is generally regarded as unsafe for use. Any benefits of therapy may not outweigh the risk of toxicity.

    Serious Adverse Effects (Rare):

    Orally: Irritation and swelling of the mouth, tongue, and throat, and sudden onset of vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Large doses have also been reported to cause blurred vision, coma, convulsions, dizziness, headache, hypotension, salivation, sweating, and tremors.”

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Rosiglitazone Maleate page

“Rosiglitazone (Avandia) lowers blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, and most of the 314 supplements and herbs on this page pull on that same lever. Some 239 can move blood glucose on their own, so adding one risks hypoglycemia, the shakiness, sweating, and confusion of sugar falling too low.”

About Daffodil

What is Daffodil?

  • Traditional anti-inflammatory remedy
  • Folk use for tumors and skin growths
  • Source of galantamine for memory/Alzheimer's
  • Antimicrobial folk use
  • Topical traditional remedies

Daffodil is a beautiful but toxic plant that contains alkaloids, including the one used to make the Alzheimer's drug galantamine. It is not safe to take as a homemade supplement, and all parts of the plant—especially the bulb—can cause serious poisoning if eaten. Leave any medicinal use to standardized, regulated medications prescribed by a doctor.

Narcissus pseudonarcissus · Amaryllidaceae · Bulb, flower, and leaves (source of certain alkaloids) · Not commonly available as a consumer supplement; the plant is the source of the prescription drug galantamine

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

Daffodil: dosing

There is no safe established dose of daffodil as a supplement, and it should not be taken by mouth. Because the whole plant is toxic, no amount can be recommended for self-treatment.The only proven medical use linked to this plant is the prescription drug galantamine, which is manufactured to a precise, standardized dose and must be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider.

About Rosiglitazone

What Is Rosiglitazone Used For?

Brand name: Avandia

  • Rosiglitazone is used along with a diet and exercise program and sometimes with one or more other medications to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and therefore cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Rosiglitazone is in a class of medications called thiazolidinediones. It works by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin, a natural substance that helps control blood sugar levels. Rosiglitazone is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and therefore cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may occur if high blood sugar is not treated).

  • Over time, people who have diabetes and high blood sugar can develop serious or life-threatening complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye problems. Taking medication(s), making lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and regularly checking your blood sugar may help to manage your diabetes and improve your health. This therapy may also decrease your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, cold legs or feet; decreased sexual ability in men and women), eye problems, including changes or loss of vision, or gum disease. Your doctor and other healthcare providers will talk to you about the best way to manage your diabetes.
