Drug & supplement interaction

Jimson Weed + Alogliptin, Metformin

Alogliptin, Metformin brand name: Kazano.

No Known Interaction

Medically reviewed by Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 13, 2026

The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin 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 label for Alogliptin, Metformin states a food rule worth keeping to, and 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.

Interaction report

Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin

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 Alogliptin, Metformin and Jimson Weed 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 Alogliptin, Metformin

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Alogliptin, Metformin is filed under 4 classifications — including organic cation transporter 2 (oct2) substrates, antidiabetes drugs, oral drugs. Jimson Weed has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being anticholinergic drugs (moderate) — and none of Alogliptin, Metformin’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.

What to actually watch for

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin May Share Several of the Same Side Effects

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. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

How to take them

Some Alogliptin, Metformin Products Have a Food Rule — Jimson Weed Should Not Break It

At least one FDA label for a product containing Alogliptin, Metformin says to take it with food. If you take Jimson Weed on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Alogliptin, Metformin with a meal where the label says to.

This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Alogliptin, Metformin products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.

( 2.1 ) Given orally twice daily with food.

From the Dosage and Administration section of the FDA label we read for Alogliptin, Metformin — where that label names a specific product, the instruction is that product's. Read the label on DailyMed ›

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Alogliptin, Metformin page

“Kazano combines alogliptin and metformin to lower blood sugar, and nearly everything on this list pushes on that same lever, so I treat these pairings with real caution. Most entries are herbs and supplements that lower glucose on their own, and stacked on the drug they raise the risk of hypoglycemia, a sugar drop steep enough to cause…”

About Jimson Weed

What is Jimson Weed?

Asthma and breathing problems (historical/folk use)
Pain relief
Recreational hallucinogen (highly dangerous misuse)
Muscle spasms
Skin conditions (traditional topical use)

Jimson Weed is a highly poisonous plant that contains powerful nerve-affecting compounds, and even small amounts can cause severe poisoning, hallucinations, or death. It is not a safe supplement, and there is no reliable evidence supporting its use for any health condition. Do not use Jimson Weed in any form.

Datura stramonium · Solanaceae · Leaves, seeds, flowers, and roots · Dried plant material, smoked preparations, teas, and folk extracts (none are recommended for self-use)

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

Jimson Weed: dosing

There is no safe or established dose of Jimson Weed. The amount of toxic alkaloids varies widely from plant to plant, season to season, and even between different parts of the same plant, so there is no way to take a predictable amount.Because of this, no responsible pharmacist or doctor recommends using it.

Taking Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Jimson Weed with Alogliptin, Metformin?

We do not list a known interaction between Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.

Do Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin have any of the same side effects?

Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 5 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.

Should I take Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin at the same time of day?

At least one FDA label for a product containing Alogliptin, Metformin says to take it with food. If you take Jimson Weed on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate and take Alogliptin, Metformin with a meal where the label says to. Food instructions belong to the product rather than the ingredient — two Alogliptin, Metformin products can differ — so check the directions on your own box. This is about absorption, not an interaction.

How was the Jimson Weed and Alogliptin, Metformin combination checked?

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Alogliptin, Metformin is filed under 4 classifications, and Jimson Weed has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Alogliptin, Metformin'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 Jimson Weed interact with any other medications?

Yes. Jimson Weed has 195 documented drug interactions in our database — Alogliptin, Metformin 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 Alogliptin, Metformin interact with any supplements?

Yes. Alogliptin, Metformin has documented interactions with 257 supplements in our database — Jimson Weed is not one of them. The Alogliptin, Metformin interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
