Cascabela thevetia

Cascabela thevetia, commonly known as yellow oleander, is a plant traditionally used in various cultures for its purported medicinal properties. However, there are no specific traditional uses documented for this particular species. Scientific evidence indicates potential cytotoxic, antiviral, and insecticidal activities from 81 identified phytochemicals within the plant, though their full pharmacological profiles remain unclear. A case report describes severe toxicity leading to fatal ventricular fibrillation in a woman who ingested approximately 50 yellow oleander seeds, highlighting the potential for serious cardiac effects. Another report notes contrasting cardiac presentations among family members following intentional ingestion of Cascabela thevetia leaves, underscoring variability in responses. Despite these findings, no major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded to date.
