Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Marsh Labrador Tea and Disulfiram

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 Disulfiram and Marsh Labrador Tea 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 Disulfiram

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Disulfiram is filed under 4 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) inhibitors, seizure threshold lowering drugs, oral drugs. Marsh Labrador Tea has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being cns depressants (moderate) — and none of Disulfiram’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

What Marsh Labrador Tea Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Disulfiram. It is the side-effect record for Marsh Labrador Tea on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Marsh Labrador Tea, this list is the first place to look. One entry is worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Seizures Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, large amounts of marsh Labrador tea can cause poisoning due to its ledol constituent (2). The essential oil of marsh Labrador tea can cause severe irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, vomiting, diarrhea, irritation and damage to the kidneys and urinary tract, heavy perspiration, myalgias, and arthralgias.”

Everything above comes from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record for Marsh Labrador Tea — expand a row for the licensed statement it rests on. We read the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Disulfiram’s FDA label too, and the two lists don’t meaningfully overlap — which is why no Disulfiram column appears here.

About Marsh Labrador Tea

What is Marsh Labrador Tea?

Marsh Labrador Tea
  • Colds and respiratory complaints
  • Cough and congestion
  • Mild aches and joint discomfort
  • Topical relief of skin irritation, swelling, and insect bites
  • Traditional use as a diuretic

Marsh Labrador tea is a bog-growing shrub used in folk medicine for coughs, colds, and skin problems, but high-quality human evidence for any use is lacking. Because it contains grayanotoxins (andromedotoxin) that can be poisonous, it is not considered safe for routine use, and pregnant or breastfeeding people should avoid it.

Rhododendron tomentosum · Ericaceae · Leaves and flowering twigs (and an essential oil distilled from them) · Tea (infusion), essential oil, topical preparations

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

Marsh Labrador Tea: dosing

There is no established safe or standardized dose for Marsh Labrador tea. Because the plant naturally contains toxic grayanotoxins, even traditional preparations carry risk, and stronger or longer brews increase that risk.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label exactly and do not exceed them. Never assume that "natural" means harmless.

About Disulfiram

What Is Disulfiram Used For?

Brand name: Antabuse

Disulfiram is used as part of a treatment program for people with chronic alcoholism who want to stop drinking. It works by making the body react very unpleasantly to alcohol, which helps reinforce the commitment to stay sober.

It is not a cure for alcoholism, and it works best when combined with counseling, motivation, and support. Used alone, without those supports, it is unlikely to make a lasting difference.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Disulfiram

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (1,124 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Fatigue 83 reports
Toxicity to various agents 64 reports
Nausea 52 reports
Confusional state 48 reports
Drug abuse 44 reports
