Taking THC together with medications that also slow blood clotting could increase the risk of bruising and bleeding. CBD has the potential to interact with many other products, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal products, and prescription drugs. Some medications should never be taken together with CBD; it may be necessary to modify or reduce the use of other medications to prevent serious problems. The consequences of drug interactions also depend on many other factors, such as the dose of CBD, the dose of another drug, and the person's underlying health status.
Older adults are more susceptible to drug interactions because they often take several medications and because of age-related physiological changes that affect the way our bodies process medications.
