We found no known interaction between Lungwort and Tolnaftate in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist.

Lungwort and Tolnaftate

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 Tolnaftate and Lungwort 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 Lungwort at all — not against Tolnaftate, 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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Tolnaftate

This page covers Lungwort only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Tolnaftate page lists 20 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Coffee Charcoal (moderate), European Mandrake (moderate), Glucomannan (moderate) and Guar Gum (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 7 moderate · 12 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tolnaftate page

“For anyone using tolnaftate (Tinactin), the antifungal in athlete's foot creams and sprays, activated charcoal is the interaction to understand before all others. It holds the only major rating among the 20 ingredients on file, since charcoal binds many medicines and can lower how much reaches the body, even drugs not given by mouth.”

Where does our data come from?
  • Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Lungwort is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
  • Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Lungwort reference on this page ↓
  • Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Lungwort and Tolnaftate records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
  • What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.

About Lungwort

What is Lungwort?

  • Coughs and chest congestion
  • Sore throat and hoarseness
  • Bronchitis and respiratory complaints
  • Mild diarrhea
  • Wound and skin care (topical, traditional)

Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis) is a traditional European herb long used as a tea for coughs and minor breathing complaints, named for its lung-shaped, spotted leaves. There is very little modern human research to confirm it works, so its use rests mainly on folk tradition. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before using it, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Pulmonaria officinalis · Boraginaceae · Leaves and flowering aerial parts (above-ground parts) · Tea (dried herb), tincture, capsules, liquid extract

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

Lungwort: dosing

There is no standardized, well-established dose for lungwort. Traditional use involves brewing the dried herb as a tea, but the strength of products varies widely.If you choose to use it, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them. Avoid long-term daily use.

About Tolnaftate

What Is Tolnaftate Used For?

Brand name: Tinactin

Tolnaftate treats common fungal skin infections — specifically athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). It also helps relieve the itching, cracking, burning, scaling, redness, and soreness that come with these infections.

Several products also help prevent athlete's foot from coming back with regular daily use. Note that tolnaftate is not effective on the scalp or nails — though some patch products are applied around the nail and cuticle area to address skin surrounding the nail.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Tolnaftate

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,403 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 88 reports
Nausea 86 reports
Dyspnea 80 reports
Diarrhea 73 reports
Anxiety 69 reports
