Have you been wondering about how CBD or cannabis may interact with medications you're currently taking? Look no further! Restorative CBD's Charlie Piermarini, PA-C, MSPAS, MS, MPH has some valuable insights to share in our informative second interview question.

It's important to understand that CBD and cannabis can interact with certain medications in different ways, so it's crucial to consult with a medical professional before adding these substances to your treatment plan. 

Here are a few key things to keep in mind:

CBD can affect the way your liver processes certain medications, which can either increase or decrease their effectiveness. If you're taking medications that are metabolized by the liver, such as blood thinners, antidepressants, or antipsychotics. Combining CBD with opioids can lead to increased sedation and respiratory depression while combining CBD with benzodiazepines or barbiturates can increase the risk of dizziness and confusion.

Even over-the-counter medications and supplements can interact with CBD and cannabis, so it's important to disclose all of the medications you're taking to your doctor or pharmacist before using these substances.
