Cannabidivarin (cbdv) + Alectinib Hydrochloride
Alectinib Hydrochloride brand name: Alecensa.
We found no known interaction between Cannabidivarin (cbdv) and Alectinib Hydrochloride in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first. Additionally, although there is no interaction, the label for Alectinib Hydrochloride states a food rule worth keeping to, and the two are separately associated with some of the same side effects, which would make a new symptom harder to attribute to one or the other.
Cannabidivarin (cbdv) and Alectinib Hydrochloride
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Alectinib Hydrochloride and Cannabidivarin (cbdv) in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Cannabidivarin (cbdv) at all — not against Alectinib Hydrochloride, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Some Alectinib Hydrochloride Products Have a Food Rule — Cannabidivarin (cbdv) Should Not Break It
At least one FDA label for a product containing Alectinib Hydrochloride says to take it with food. If you take Cannabidivarin (cbdv) on an empty stomach out of habit, keep them separate — and take Alectinib Hydrochloride with a meal where the label says to.
This may not be true of your version. Food instructions belong to the product, not the ingredient: two Alectinib Hydrochloride products can carry different directions, and extended-release forms often differ from immediate-release ones. The label we read is quoted below — check the directions on your own box or bottle, or ask your pharmacist, for how to take the exact product you were given.
Administer ALECENSA with food.

A food rule is not an interaction — it is about how much of the medicine you absorb. The directions that came with your own product, and your pharmacist, outrank anything on this page.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Alectinib Hydrochloride page
“Alectinib (Alecensa) treats ALK-positive lung cancer, and because your liver already has to tolerate this drug, check this page before adding any supplement, not after. Of the 74 ingredients on file, 38 can add stress to the liver, and three of the four major-rated entries (beer, wine, and Siberian cocklebur) are the clearest examples…”

Cannabidivarin (CBDV) is a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis that is being studied mainly for epilepsy and certain neurodevelopmental conditions. The research is still early, mostly from laboratory and animal studies plus small human trials, so it is not an approved or proven treatment. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying any CBDV product.
