Does Ropinirole Interact With Marijuana?

default
Posted on Fri, 6 May 2016
Question: I take ropinirol for RLS. I recently got a medical marjuana prescription to help with sleep issues and pain associated with osteoarthritis. Is there any reason I can't use both of these drugs at the same time? Both are taken at bedtime. I'm 71 years old.

There are no major interactions.

Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

There are no major interactions between marijuana and ropinirol, so you can use them simultaneously. But, minor interactions are still possible, so, if you notice any adverse reactions, you should inform your treating Doctor.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
