The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Mugwort and Tolazamide 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.

Mugwort and Tolazamide

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 Tolazamide and Mugwort 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 Mugwort at all — not against Tolazamide, 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

What Mugwort Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Tolazamide. It is the side-effect record for Mugwort on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Mugwort, this list is the first place to look. 2 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Mania or an unusually elevated mood Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Orally, mania has been reported in a 49-year-old male following the intake of 1 liter of an infusion thought to contain mugwort. The presence of thujone in the patient's serum and urine was confirmed, and thujone poisoning was considered to be the cause of these symptoms. Although thujone levels are normally low in mugwort, concentrations can be variable.”

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Tolazamide page

“Tolazamide (Tolinase) lowers blood sugar in type 2 diabetes, and I would handle its supplement list with care, because nearly everything listed can drag blood sugar lower still. Herbs and foods with glucose-lowering effects dominate the file, and stacked on a pill that already lowers glucose they raise the odds of hypoglycemia, blood s…”

About Mugwort

What is Mugwort?

Mugwort
  • Digestive upset and poor appetite
  • Menstrual discomfort
  • Sleep support and vivid dreaming
  • Used in moxibustion (traditional Chinese medicine)
  • Mild anxiety or relaxation

Mugwort is a traditional herb used for digestion, menstrual issues, and sleep, but there is very little high-quality human research to confirm these uses. It is closely related to ragweed and can trigger allergic reactions, and it should be avoided in pregnancy. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it.

Artemisia vulgaris · Asteraceae · Leaves, flowering tops, and root; sometimes essential oil · Tea, capsules, tincture, dried herb, essential oil, and moxa (used in moxibustion)

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

Mugwort: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose for mugwort. The amount in teas, capsules, and tinctures varies a lot between products.If you choose to use mugwort, follow the directions on the product label and do not exceed them. Avoid swallowing the concentrated essential oil.

About Tolazamide

What Is Tolazamide Used For?

Brand name: Tolinase

  • Tolazamide is used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other medications, to treat type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). Tolazamide is in a class of medications called sulfonylureas. Tolazamide lowers blood sugar by causing the pancreas to produce insulin (a natural substance that is needed to break down sugar in the body) and helping the body use insulin efficiently. This medication will only help lower blood sugar in people whose bodies produce insulin naturally. Tolazamide is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) or diabetic ketoacidosis (a serious condition that may occur if high blood sugar is not treated).

  • Over time, people who have diabetes and high blood sugar can develop serious or life-threatening complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney problems, nerve damage, and eye problems. Taking medication(s), making lifestyle changes (e.g., diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and regularly checking your blood sugar may help to manage your diabetes and improve your health. This therapy may also decrease your chances of having a heart attack, stroke, or other diabetes-related complications such as kidney failure, nerve damage (numb, cold legs or feet; decreased sexual ability in men and women), eye problems, including changes or loss of vision, or gum disease. Your doctor and other healthcare providers will talk to you about the best way to manage your diabetes.
