Interaction report

Tree Of Heaven and Brompheniramine

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 Brompheniramine and Tree Of Heaven 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.

Tree Of Heaven safety at a glance

Tree Of Heaven overall Use caution Human safety data are limited, and the plant can irritate the stomach and skin.
Pregnancy Avoid Not enough safety information; traditional use for menstrual effects raises concern, so avoid in pregnancy.
Breastfeeding Avoid No reliable safety data during breastfeeding, so it is best avoided.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Brompheniramine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Brompheniramine is filed under 3 classifications — photosensitizing drugs, seizure threshold lowering drugs, oral drugs. Tree Of Heaven has documented interactions with 1 drug class — the most serious being anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) — and none of Brompheniramine’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.

Everything else you take

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Brompheniramine

This page covers Tree Of Heaven only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Brompheniramine page lists 43 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Alfalfa (moderate), Angelica Archangelica (moderate), Arrach (moderate) and Bergamot (moderate).

By severity: 1 major · 32 moderate · 10 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Brompheniramine page

“Brompheniramine, the sedating antihistamine in Dimetane and many combination cold medicines, deserves genuine care around supplements rather than a quick scan. The single major-rated entry is activated charcoal, which binds drugs in the gut and can sharply cut how much brompheniramine reaches your bloodstream.”

About Tree Of Heaven

What is Tree Of Heaven?

  • Diarrhea and dysentery
  • Intestinal parasites
  • Menstrual or vaginal complaints
  • Asthma and cough (traditional use)
  • Skin conditions (topical, traditional use)

Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) is a fast-growing, invasive tree whose bark has been used in traditional medicine, mostly for digestive complaints and parasites. Modern scientific evidence in humans is very limited, and the plant can cause stomach upset and skin reactions, so it should be used cautiously and not without professional guidance.

Ailanthus altissima · Simaroubaceae · Bark (especially root and stem bark), leaves · Dried bark, tinctures, teas/decoctions, traditional herbal preparations

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

Tree Of Heaven: dosing

There is no well-established or standardized dose for Tree of Heaven. Traditional preparations such as bark decoctions varied widely, and they were not measured against modern safety standards.If you choose to use a commercial product, follow the directions on the label and do not exceed them.
