CBD and THC can be found in both hemp and marijuana. However, hemp is defined as a cannabis plant that contains less than 0.3% THC, whereas marijuana is defined as a cannabis plant that contains more than 0.3% THC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The endocannabinoid system is believed to influence many functions in the body, such as sleep, learning, pain control, and appetite. Cannabinoids, such as CBD, interact with cannabinoid (CB) receptors throughout the body to elicit a response. CBD is a lipophilic substance that can act as a CB1 and CB2 receptor antagonist or inverse agonist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pharmacist Crash Course: CBD Health Benefits and Side Effects\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pu2Vtm1RbWA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD dosage forms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD can be found in many dosage forms, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oils<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sublingual tablets<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capsules<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nasal sprays<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Topical creams<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dosage form chosen depends on the specific product and indicated use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is only one FDA-approved prescription CBD product called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/epidiolex\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Epidiolex<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is approved for adults and children aged 1 year and older. It comes as a 100 mg\/mL CBD oil used to treat seizures in people with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex. The usual starting dosage is 2.5 mg\/kg twice daily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All other CBD products are not approved or regulated by the FDA, and CBD dosages are not defined by specific guidelines. Some manufacturers may falsely advertise their CBD products for various unproven claims and benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The usual recommended dosage of CBD products is a dosage low enough to be effective and safe. When used for other reasons besides epilepsy, CBD dosages can vary. The range of oral CBD doses usually lies between 100 mg and 800 mg.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD uses<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD has been studied and used for various purposes.

For example, a patient might come to the counter to ask about a CBD product sold in the pharmacy, or they might mention that they take a CBD supplement when picking up their prescription. Here are some things to keep in mind when counseling patients on CBD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Understanding laws and regulations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to know that CBD products are not currently regulated by the FDA, and CBD laws and regulations vary by state. Pharmacists should advise their patients about CBD based on local laws and regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 30 different states have legalized CBD for medical use. Hemp, which CBD is typically derived from, is legal in all 50 states and is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In certain states, such as New York and Minnesota, CBD products must be dispensed from authorized dispensaries. Hemp-derived CBD products are not controlled substances, whereas marijuana-derived CBD products may be classified as Schedule I substances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Choosing CBD products<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are no specific regulations or guidelines for testing the safety, effectiveness, or quality of CBD products. As a result, CBD products may contain harmful substances or inaccurately labeled amounts of active ingredients.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharmacists may want to counsel patients to purchase CBD products from states where CBD is legalized and more likely to be tested. Patients may also want to check the product label to see how much CBD it contains in a single dose. In addition, manufacturers may provide a Certificate of Analysis or Hemp Authority seal that shows the potency and quality of their CBD products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. CBD side effects and drug interactions<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/consumers\/consumer-updates\/what-you-need-know-and-what-were-working-find-out-about-products-containing-cannabis-or-cannabis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD may cause side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, such as drowsiness, decreased appetite, and diarrhea. It may also cause mood changes, such as irritability and agitation. Serious side effects of CBD may include liver injury and reproductive toxicity in men and women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients who take CBD should also know what drugs should not be taken with CBD. Benzodiazepines, opioids, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may interact with CBD, causing an increased risk of severe drowsiness. Some herbal supplements, such as kava, melatonin, and St. John\u2019s wort, may also interact with CBD and cause increased drowsiness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD is metabolized in the liver by CYP enzymes and may interact with inhibitors or inducers of CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 enzymes. Pharmacists should assess the potential for drug interactions by going over the patient\u2019s list of medications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/cbd-drug-interactions\/\"><b>CBD interactions<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pharmacist\u2019s role in the use of CBD<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharmacists can be strong advocates for ensuring the safety of patients taking CBD.
