Brief Answer:
risk of interaction between the CBD and warfarin

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is a risk of interaction between the cbd and warfarin. CBD can potentially increase the level and therefore the effect of the warfarin, this means that there can be an increased risk of bleeding.

CBD affects/decreases the breakdown of the warfarin and this causes the increased levels.

If you use the oil, both you and your doctor would need to carefully monitor for bleeding.

It should also be noted that there is an interaction between quinine and warfarin as well, quinine increases the effect of warfarin

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
