Drug & supplement interaction

Tree Tobacco + Regadenoson

Regadenoson brand name: Lexiscan.

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 Tree Tobacco and Regadenoson 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.

Interaction report

Tree Tobacco and Regadenoson

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 Regadenoson and Tree Tobacco 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 Tree Tobacco at all — not against Regadenoson, 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

No Interaction Found — But Data Suggests Tree Tobacco and Regadenoson 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. 3 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on reported in 8.6% of FDA reports for Regadenoson Additional detail

    Tree Tobacco

    “Orally, tree tobacco is generally regarded as unsafe for use. Any benefits of therapy may not outweigh the risk of toxicity. Tree tobacco can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, muscle weakness and paralysis, respiratory distress, and neurological symptoms including vertigo, confusion, fatigue, headache, hallucinations, spasms, weakness, and coma.”

Showing the 10 most notable of 11 shared effects — ranked by how unusual each one is, not just whether both lists mention it.

Reported for Tree Tobacco but not commonly for Regadenoson: muscle weakness, hallucinations, a slow heartbeat and dry mouth.

Effects for Regadenoson come from the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of its FDA label; effects for Tree Tobacco come from the Natural Medicines adverse-effect record, quoted above. Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 4,735 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Regadenoson 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.

About Tree Tobacco

What is Tree Tobacco?

  • Topical use on wounds or sores (folk use)
  • Joint and muscle pain (folk use)
  • Headache relief (traditional poultice)
  • Insect or pest control

Tree tobacco is a poisonous shrub that contains the toxic alkaloid anabasine, and it is not a safe dietary supplement. There is no reliable evidence that it treats any condition, and swallowing it can cause severe poisoning or death. We strongly recommend avoiding internal use entirely.

Nicotiana glauca · Solanaceae · Leaves · Crushed leaves, poultices, traditional topical preparations

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

Tree Tobacco: dosing

There is no safe or established dose for tree tobacco. It is not sold or recommended as a standardized dietary supplement, and no amount is known to be safe to swallow.Because of its toxicity, we recommend avoiding it entirely.

Taking Tree Tobacco and Regadenoson Together: Common Questions

Is it safe to take Tree Tobacco with Regadenoson?
We do not list a known interaction between Tree Tobacco and Regadenoson. 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 Tree Tobacco and Regadenoson have any of the same side effects?
Yes — our sources link each of them separately to 10 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.
