Are you worried about CBD and medication interactions? Try the app!

Any person who regularly takes any medication should check before taking any cannabis products to see if there can be an interaction between the cannabinoids they contain and the medication they are taking. Cannabinoids of the CBD type a HHC in fact, they can interact with various drugs and thereby disrupt their effects, or, on the contrary, enhance them. In any case, we should be informed in advance about the potential interaction, so today we will discuss the CANN-DIR web application. 

Prescription drugs as well as over-the-counter pharmaceutical products can have a great influence on the functioning of our organism. Their use together with cannabinoids from hemp can therefore result in side effects and a reduction (or, conversely, an increase) in the effect of certain drugs. So what drugs react in combination with CBD (or THC)?

Learn more in the following paragraphs!

Interaction with CBD or THC will be revealed by CANN-DIR!

CANN-DIR or CANNabinoid Drug Interaction Review is a free website developed by researchers from Penn State University. It can determine which medications interact with hemp cannabinoids and what the potential effects of joint use are.

This application was developed by researchers to help pharmacists, doctors, and users themselves to improve patient safety and prevent unwanted negative effects. As you already know, cannabinoids can affect the functions of some drugs in our body. CANN-DIR can compare how CBD products, as well as products with THC (unfortunately, HHC products are not available yet, but their effects will be very similar to THC results). Hemp products containing cannabinoids have become very popular and easily available, so it is very important to inform about their effect on other drugs.

In the web application, each user can choose the cannabinoid used - CBD or THC (both can be used at the same time). Next, it searches for the drugs he uses, ideally by chemical name, since they are listed under him and under the American trade name in the database. After confirmation, we will see the specific results for the given combination. CANN-DIR developed College of Medicine, which is one of nine approved centers for clinical research of high-potency cannabis, aka marijuana, in Pennsylvania, USA.

Application importance

It is very important that healthcare professionals, pharmacists and users themselves know about specific interactions. Take for example the drug Warfarin, which is used to prevent blood clots. Its therapeutic index (the ratio of the substance causing poisoning to the therapeutic effect) is very narrow, and even small differences in the amount of the active ingredient in the blood can lead to therapeutic failure or bleeding. 

This is why, above all, for drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, the importance of this information is very important, as their breakdown in the body can be very easily affected, and as we already know, cannabinoids can change the metabolism of certain drugs.

Awareness is therefore important. However, it should be emphasized that the vast majority of drugs do not interact with CBD products. Therefore, there is no reason to panic. The psychoactive substances THC and HHC pose a much higher risk for interaction.

The developers of the web application hope that their efforts could make the prescribing of drugs and their use together with hemp cannabinoids much easier and more efficient. If you are also interested in potential interactions between your medications and THC or CBD substances, do not hesitate to visit CANN-DIR and find out if you are at risk of an interaction.
