Gumweed + Levorphanol
Levorphanol brand name: Levo-Dromoran.
We found no known interaction between Gumweed and Levorphanol 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.
Gumweed and Levorphanol
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 Levorphanol and Gumweed 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 Gumweed at all — not against Levorphanol, 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.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Levorphanol page
“Most of the ingredients that interact with levorphanol (Levo-Dromoran) pile onto the same hazard, deeper sedation. Because levorphanol is a potent opioid painkiller, that stacking can slow breathing rather than just cause drowsiness, so this page deserves real vigilance before you add a supplement to it.”

About Gumweed
What is Gumweed?
- Cough and bronchitis
- Asthma-related breathing problems
- Skin irritation from poison ivy or poison oak
- Minor wounds and rashes
- Upper respiratory congestion
Gumweed is a traditional North American plant used mostly for coughs, chest congestion, and skin irritation such as poison ivy rashes. Good-quality human studies are lacking, so its benefits are not well proven, and it should be used cautiously and avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Grindelia robusta · Asteraceae · Dried leaves and flowering tops · Tea, tincture, liquid extract, capsules, topical preparations
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Gumweed is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Gumweed record says about it on its own.
Gumweed: dosing
There is no well-established, standardized dose for gumweed. Traditional preparations include teas, tinctures, and liquid extracts, but the strength of commercial products varies widely.The safest approach is to follow the directions on the product label and not exceed the suggested amount.

About Levorphanol
What Is Levorphanol Used For?
Brand name: Levo-Dromoran
Levorphanol Tartrate Tablets are used to manage pain severe enough to require an opioid — specifically when non-opioid or other pain treatments haven't provided enough relief or aren't a good fit for the patient.
It is not meant for everyday or mild pain. Prescribers weigh the serious risks of opioid therapy carefully before choosing this medication, and it should be used for only as long as the pain requires it.
