An Update on Safety and Side Effects of Cannabidiol: A Review of Clinical Data and Relevant Animal Studies Kerstin IFFLAND, Franjo GROTENHERMEN Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, 2017, 2, (1), 139–154. DOI: 10.1089/can.2016.0034 https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/can.2016.0034?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CAN%20OA%20Feb%201%202019&d=2/1/2019&mcid=1909944349 Abstract Introduction: This literature survey aims to extend the comprehensive survey performed by Bergamaschi et al. in 2011 on cannabidiol (CBD) safety and side effects. Apart from updating the literature, this article focuses on clinical studies and CBD potential interactions with other drugs. Results: In general, the often described favorable safety profile of CBD in humans was confirmed and extended by the reviewed research. The majority of studies were performed for treatment of epilepsy [...]

Abazia, PharmD, BCPS, CPE Pharmacy & Therapeutics®, 2017 • Vol. 42 No. 3, pp 180-188. INTRODUCTION Medicinal cannabis, or medicinal marijuana, is a therapy that has garnered much national attention in recent years. Controversies surrounding legal, ethical, and societal implications associated with use; safe administration, packaging, and dispensing; adverse health consequences and deaths attributed to marijuana intoxication; and therapeutic indications based on limited clinical data represent some of the complexities associated with this treatment. Marijuana is currently recognized by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s [...]

Guang Li, décembre 2018. www.preprints.org, doi:10.20944/preprints201812.0032.v1 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329559938_Medicinal_Cannabis_-_Potential_Drug_Interactions Endocannabinoids system (ECS) engrossed a considerable interest as potential therapeutic targets in various carcinomas and cancer related conditions alongside with neurodegenerative diseases. Cannabinoids are implemented in several physiological processes such as appetite stimulation, energy balance, pain modulation and the control of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). However, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics interactions could be perceived in drug combinations, so in this short review we tried to shed the light over the potential drug interactions of medicinal cannabis. Hitherto, few data have been provided to the healthcare practitioners about [...]

Lantela, Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018, 12, article 730. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2018.00730 Abstract : Cannabis sativa is a medicinal herb with a diverse range of chemotypes that can exert both anxiolytic and anxiogenic effects on humans. Medical cannabis patients receiving organically grown cannabis from a single source were surveyed about the effectiveness of cannabis for treating anxiety. Patients rated cannabis as highly effective overall for treating anxiety with an average score of 8.03 on a Likert scale of 0 to 10 (0 = not effective, [...]

Holmes, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2017, 76, 56-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2016.12.033 Abstract The endocannabinoid (eCB) system has attracted attention for its role in various behavioral and brain functions, and as a therapeutic target in neuropsychiatric disease states, including anxiety disorders and other conditions resulting from dysfunctional responses to stress. In this mini-review, we highlight components of the eCB system that offer potential ‘druggable’ targets for new anxiolytic medications, emphasizing some of the less well-discussed options. We discuss how selectively amplifying eCBs recruitment by interfering with eCB-degradation, via fatty [...]

R. INGOLD ; C. SUEUR ; C. D. KAPLAN | Dans Annales Médico-Psychologiques, Revue psychiatrique (Vol.173, n°5, Juin 2015) Résumé Nous rendons ici hommage à Moreau (de Tours) pour son travail sur le haschisch et les essais thérapeutiques avant-gardistes qu’il a menés. Le cannabis est connu pour ses utilisations à visée thérapeutique depuis au moins 6000ans avant notre ère. Nous examinons les données ethnobotaniques, biologiques et cliniques qui font état de ces usages. L’identification récente des premiers cannabinoïdes et de leurs mécanismes d’action via les récepteurs CB1 et CB2 a été à [...]

L’autre cannabinoïde présentant d’incontestables propriétés thérapeutiques, le cannabidiol, n’est pas, lui, considéré comme stupéfiant, et son utilisation ne rencontre pas les mêmes [...]
