General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.

It is best not to mix other medications with marijuana as some medications can be aggravated and some can be suppressed when mixed with marijuana. Try to space them out, especially if you are using marijuana for therapeutic reasons. But if not, then try to avoid marijuana altogether whilst on any medications.

Best wishes.
