Preferably should be avoided

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting the question.

Considering the medicines that you are presently taking,you should avoid taking cbd oil along with these medicines.

Though it won't have immediate side effects,but in long term,it may cause delirium,headaches,nausea,hypertension and similar side effects.

Especially quinine and loperamide are known to cause drug interactions with cbd oil.

Only if the pain is severe,then you can go for cbd oil,that too for a very short period of time and in low dose.

There are many other safer analgesic drugs,like tramadol,piroxicam,etodolac etc that can be safely used with the medicines that you take.You should take such analgesics for long term use.


I hope the answer was useful.

Feel free to ask me any doubts that you may have.

Kind regards.
