Drug & supplement interaction

Jimson Weed + Terbutaline

Terbutaline brand names: Bricanyl, Brethine, Bricanyl Injection, Bricanyl Turbohaler.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Jimson Weed and Terbutaline 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.

Jimson Weed and Terbutaline

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 Terbutaline 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 Terbutaline

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Terbutaline is filed under 2 classifications — beta-adrenergic agonists, oral drugs. Jimson Weed has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being anticholinergic drugs (moderate) — and none of Terbutaline’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.

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Jimson Weed and Terbutaline 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.

  • Tremor or shakiness Additional detail

    Jimson Weed

    “Orally, jimson weed can block muscarinic cholinergic neurons and cause anticholinergic side effects. Larger amounts of jimson weed intake can also lead to toxicity and anticholinergic syndrome. Central anticholinergic symptoms, which are dose-dependent, include muscle tremor and rigidity, leg cramps, hallucinations, slurred speech, psychosis, agitated delirium, seizures, coma, cardiovascular collapse, or respiratory…”

Overlapping uses

What Terbutaline Is Prescribed For, and What Jimson Weed Has Been Studied For

These two come up together because they touch the same health topic — not because they do the same job. Terbutaline is a prescription medicine with approved uses on its FDA label. Jimson Weed is a supplement: what follows is what researchers have looked at it for, and how strong that evidence is.

Terbutaline is prescribed for: Terbutaline Sulfate — available as both a tablet and a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) injection — is used to prevent and reverse bronchospasm (sudden tightening of the airways) in adults and children 12 years and older. It is indicated for people with asthma and for reversible bronchospasm associated with bronchitis and emphysema. Both Terbutaline Sulfate Tablets and Terbutaline Sulfate Injection share these approved uses. The injection form acts more quickly and is given by a healthcare provider under the skin, while the tablet form is taken by mouth on a regular schedule during waking hours.

Jimson Weed has been studied for:

  • Bronchitis studied, not established Jimson Weed has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Jimson Weed for bronchitis

    Although there has been interest in using oral jimson weed for bronchitis, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of jimson weed for this purpose.

  • Asthma studied, not established Jimson Weed has been studied for this. Natural Medicines rates the evidence: Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate Read what the research shows

    Jimson Weed for asthma

    Although there has been interest in using oral jimson weed for asthma, there is insufficient reliable information about the clinical effects of jimson weed for this purpose.

Effectiveness ratings and the research summaries above are the verbatim record from the Natural Medicines database, which grades evidence from “Effective” down to “Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate”. A rating below the top of that scale means researchers have looked at it — not that it works, and never that it can stand in for a prescribed medicine. Do not stop or replace Terbutaline on your own; if you are taking Jimson Weed for the same health topic, tell your prescriber, especially if the medicine is being adjusted to a target.

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.

Pharmacist Counseling Corner

Taking Jimson Weed and Terbutaline Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Jimson Weed with Terbutaline?
We do not list a known interaction between Jimson Weed and Terbutaline. 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 Terbutaline 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.
Are Jimson Weed and Terbutaline used for the same thing?
They overlap in purpose, which usually means the real question is whether you need both rather than whether they are safe together. This page lists the shared uses and how strong the evidence is for Jimson Weed in each. That is a conversation for your prescriber, especially if Terbutaline is being adjusted to a target.
How was the Jimson Weed and Terbutaline combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Terbutaline is filed under 2 classifications, and Jimson Weed has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Terbutaline'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 — Terbutaline 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 Terbutaline interact with any supplements?
Yes. Terbutaline has documented interactions with 32 supplements in our database — Jimson Weed is not one of them. The Terbutaline interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
