Drug & supplement interaction

Peyote + Butorphanol

Butorphanol brand name: Stadol.

No Known Interaction
Medically reviewed by · Updated July 2026 · Pair last verified Sep 20, 2026
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Peyote and Butorphanol 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.

Peyote and Butorphanol

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 Butorphanol and Peyote 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 Butorphanol

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Butorphanol is filed under 4 classifications — including narcotic drugs, cns depressants, seizure threshold lowering drugs. Peyote has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being stimulant drugs (major) — and none of Butorphanol’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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Peyote and Butorphanol 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.

    “Orally, ingestion of peyote can cause mild gastrointestinal effects, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, within the first 30 to 60 minutes of ingestion. It can also cause mydriasis, mild tachycardia, hypertension, sweating, tremor, and visual hallucinations within about an hour after ingestion.”

    “Orally, peyote can cause psychic effects and visual hallucinations similar to LSD, peaking between 4 to 6 hours after ingestion. It has also been reported to cause anxiety, paranoia, fear, and emotional instability, which can lead to self-inflicted or accidental injury. Symptoms usually subside less than 24 hours after ingestion (9,17,68781,68789,99284).”

Reported for Peyote but not commonly for Butorphanol: a slow heartbeat and diarrhea.

Effects for Butorphanol come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Peyote come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 326 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Butorphanol 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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Butorphanol

This page covers Peyote only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Butorphanol page lists 100 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: 1,4-butanediol (major), Activated Charcoal (major), Beer (major), Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) (major) and Kava (major).

By severity: 7 major · 78 moderate · 15 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Butorphanol page

“Slowed breathing and deep sedation are the risks that tower over any opioid, and most of this list threatens to push butorphanol (Stadol), an opioid pain reliever, in exactly that direction. Of the 100 supplement and herbal ingredients on file, 78 add their own sedative pull, so this page deserves genuine care, not a skim.”

About Peyote

What is Peyote?

  • Traditional and religious ceremonies
  • Spiritual or visionary experiences
  • Folk use for pain and fatigue
  • Folk use for fever and skin conditions

Peyote is a small spineless cactus that contains mescaline, a powerful hallucinogen. It is a federally controlled substance in the United States (with a narrow exemption for certain Native American religious use), is not a safe or proven dietary supplement, and should not be used for self-treatment.

Lophophora williamsii · Cactaceae · Crown (top) of the cactus, often dried into 'buttons' · Dried buttons, chewed material, brewed tea (used ceremonially); rarely sold as a legal supplement

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

Peyote: dosing

There is no established or safe medical dose for peyote. It is not a regulated supplement, and the amount of mescaline in plant material can vary a great deal, which makes the effects unpredictable and dangerous.Because peyote is a controlled substance and a strong hallucinogen, HelloPharmacist does not provide dosing guidance.

About Butorphanol Injection

What Is Butorphanol Injection Used For?

Brand name: Stadol

Butorphanol Tartrate Injection is used to manage pain severe enough to require an opioid when other treatments are not adequate. It is also used as a preoperative or pre-anesthetic medication and as a supplement to balanced anesthesia during surgical procedures.

Butorphanol Tartrate Injection is also indicated for relief of pain during labor in patients at full term in early labor. Because of serious risks including addiction, misuse, and overdose, it is reserved for situations where alternative treatments are ineffective or not tolerated.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Butorphanol

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (326 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Drug hypersensitivity 48 reports
Nausea 25 reports
Headache 17 reports
Pruritus 17 reports

Taking Peyote and Butorphanol Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Peyote with Butorphanol?
We do not list a known interaction between Peyote and Butorphanol. That does not guarantee the combination is risk-free, so confirm with your pharmacist or doctor — especially if you take other medications or have a health condition.
Do Peyote and Butorphanol have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 8 of the same effects. That is not an interaction: neither changes how your body handles the other. It does mean that if one of those effects turns up, it can be harder to tell which one is behind it. They are listed on this page with the source behind each.
How was the Peyote and Butorphanol combination checked?
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes. Butorphanol is filed under 4 classifications, and Peyote has documented interactions with 1 drug class — none of Butorphanol's classifications are among them. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded in our dataset, so this describes how the check was run rather than guaranteeing safety.
Does Peyote interact with any other medications?
Yes. Peyote has 172 documented drug interactions in our database — Butorphanol is simply not one of them. If you take anything else, it is worth checking each one; they are all listed on this page.
Does Butorphanol interact with any supplements?
Yes. Butorphanol has documented interactions with 100 supplements in our database — Peyote is not one of them. The Butorphanol interaction page linked on this page lists every one, ranked by severity.
