Laburnum + Esomeprazole
Esomeprazole brand name: Nexium.
We found no known interaction between Laburnum and Esomeprazole 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 Esomeprazole 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.
Laburnum and Esomeprazole
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 Esomeprazole and Laburnum 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 Laburnum at all — not against Esomeprazole, 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.

Some Esomeprazole Products Have a Food Rule — Laburnum Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Esomeprazole says to take it on an empty stomach. Most supplements — Laburnum included — are taken with a meal, so the easy mistake is swallowing both together at breakfast. Where that rule applies, keep Esomeprazole on its own and move Laburnum to a meal later in the day.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Esomeprazole 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.
Table 2: Recommended Dosage of Esomeprazole Magnesium Delayed-Release Capsules in Pediatric Patients by Indication Indication Patient Age Recommended Dosage Duration Healing of EE 12 years to 17 years Esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules: 20 mg or 40 mg once daily 4 to 8 Weeks Treatment of Symptomatic GERD 12 years to 17 years Esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules: 20 mg once

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.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Esomeprazole
This page covers Laburnum only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Esomeprazole page lists 154 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.
The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Grapefruit (major), St. John's Wort (major), Acacia Rigidula (moderate) and Adrafinil (moderate).
By severity: 3 major · 102 moderate · 49 minor.
From our pharmacist’s overview on the Esomeprazole page
“St. John's wort can lower the amount of esomeprazole (Nexium) in your blood by speeding up how the liver clears it, which can leave heartburn or ulcer treatment falling short.”

About Laburnum
What is Laburnum?
- Historically explored as a smoking-cessation aid (due to cytisine content)
- Traditional folk use as a purgative or emetic
- Ornamental garden plant
- Source of the alkaloid cytisine
Laburnum is a poisonous ornamental tree, not a safe dietary supplement. All parts of the plant—especially the seeds—contain the toxic alkaloid cytisine and can cause serious poisoning. Do not eat or take any part of the Laburnum plant; consult a doctor or poison control immediately if ingestion is suspected.
Laburnum anagyroides · Fabaceae · Seeds, flowers, bark, and other plant parts (all considered toxic) · Not used as a commercial supplement; the plant is grown as an ornamental tree
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Laburnum is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Laburnum record says about it on its own.
Laburnum: dosing
There is no safe or established dose of Laburnum. It is not a dietary supplement, and no amount of the raw plant is considered safe to consume.Any information you may see about cytisine doses refers to purified, prescription-type products used under medical supervision in certain countries—not to the Laburnum plant. Do not attempt to make or take anything from this tree.

About Esomeprazole
What Is Esomeprazole Used For?
Brand name: Nexium
Esomeprazole treats problems caused by excess stomach acid. It's used to heal erosive esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from acid), control GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) symptoms like heartburn, and protect the stomach lining in people at risk for ulcers caused by NSAIDs (anti-inflammatory pain relievers like ibuprofen).
It's also used as part of a three-drug combination to wipe out H. pylori — a stomach bacteria linked to ulcers — and for people with rare conditions that cause the stomach to overproduce acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Esomeprazole
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (235,235 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Esomeprazole Is Linked to Lower Levels of 9 Nutrients
Natural Medicines records Esomeprazole as a medicine that can lower these. This is not an interaction with Laburnum — it is a separate effect of the medicine, and it is a reason some people are advised to supplement rather than to avoid one:
