Drug & supplement interaction

Laburnum + Ketorolac Tromethamine

Ketorolac Tromethamine brand names: Toradol, Acuvail.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Laburnum and Ketorolac Tromethamine 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.

Laburnum and Ketorolac Tromethamine

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 Ketorolac Tromethamine 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 Ketorolac Tromethamine, 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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Laburnum and Ketorolac Tromethamine 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. 2 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • A slow heartbeat / Raised blood pressure Worth acting on Additional detail

    Laburnum

    “Orally, the fatal adult dose of laburnum is estimated to be about 15-20 seeds or 3-4 unripe berries (18). Many cases of poisoning involve children who ingest small quantities of seeds and experience primarily gastrointestinal symptoms, with a relatively rapid recovery.”

    Ketorolac Tromethamine

    Listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Ketorolac Tromethamine. Read the label on DailyMed ›

Reported for Laburnum but not commonly for Ketorolac Tromethamine: an irregular heartbeat, sweating, stomach pain and a fast or pounding heartbeat.

Effects for Ketorolac Tromethamine come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Laburnum come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 5,598 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ketorolac Tromethamine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Wording is matched across sources by our own clinical vocabulary, so treat this as a prompt to pay attention, not a diagnosis.

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 Ketorolac

What Is Ketorolac Used For?

Brand names: Toradol, Acuvail

Ketorolac is used for short-term management of moderately severe acute pain — the kind that would otherwise require an opioid-level painkiller. It is most commonly used in a postoperative (after surgery) setting.

Treatment is always started with an injection (IV or IM), and oral tablets are only used as a follow-up if needed. The total treatment time — shots plus pills combined — must never exceed 5 days. It is not meant for minor aches or long-term pain conditions.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Ketorolac Tromethamine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (5,598 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
