Cannabidiol (cbd) and Ticlopidine

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) INHIBITORS

Why this applies to Ticlopidine

Ticlopidine falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C19 (CYP2C19) INHIBITORS — the group Cannabidiol (cbd) interacts with.

Theoretically, CYP2C19 inhibitors might increase cannabidiol levels.
Cannabidiol is a substrate of CYP2C19 enzymes. Theoretically, drugs that inhibit CYP2C19 enzymes might increase levels of cannabidiol, increasing its effects and adverse effects.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here the spotlight is really on the CBD, not the ticlopidine. Ticlopidine can slow down a liver enzyme called CYP2C19, and that same enzyme helps your body clear CBD. So when the two are taken together, CBD may hang around longer and build up a bit more than usual.

In plain terms, you might feel more of CBD's typical effects, such as drowsiness, tiredness, loose stools, or changes in appetite. Keep in mind this is a theoretical concern based on how the enzyme works, not something proven in studies, so the real-world effect may be small. Still, since CBD products vary so much, it's worth running it by your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

“Ticlopidine (Ticlid) keeps platelets from clumping to prevent clots, so it already raises bleeding risk on its own, and over 200 of the 221 supplements flagged for it push in that same direction. That stacking effect deserves genuine respect from anyone taking this drug.”

About Cannabidiol (cbd)

What is Cannabidiol (cbd)?

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Sleep problems
  • Chronic pain
  • Certain seizure disorders
  • Inflammation

CBD is a compound from the cannabis (hemp) plant that does not cause a 'high.'

About Ticlopidine

What Is Ticlopidine Used For?

Brand names: Ticlid, Ticlopidine

  • Ticlopidine is used to reduce the risk of stroke in people who have had a stroke or have had warning signs of a stroke and who cannot be treated with aspirin. Ticlopidine is also used along with aspirin to prevent blood clots from forming in coronary stents (metal tubes surgically placed in clogged blood vessels to improve blood flow). It works by preventing platelets (a type of blood cell) from collecting and forming clots.
