Since ''Linaria'' species are [[toxic]] to livestock, the plants are regarded as [[noxious weed]]s. However, toadflaxes are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species, including the [[Mouse Moth]], and the [[common buckeye]].

Externally it is used in an ointment to treat [[hemorrhoids]], skin eruptions, sores and [[ulcers]]. The juice of the plant, is a good remedy for [[inflamed]] eyes, though should be used with caution. Dosage is critical and it should not be given to [[pregnant]] women, since the plant might be slightly [[toxic]].
