Cannabigerol (cbg) and Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide

Amiloride, Hydrochlorothiazide falls under ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS — the group Cannabigerol (cbg) interacts with.

Theoretically, taking cannabigerol with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
Animal research shows that an intraperitoneal injection of cannabigerol lowers blood pressure. The mechanism of action may be related to alpha-2-adrenoreceptor activity. The effect of oral intake of cannabigerol is unclear and this has not been shown in humans.
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's the simple version. Your combo pill, amiloride with hydrochlorothiazide, already works to bring your blood pressure down by helping your body shed extra salt and water. The concern with CBG is that it might lower blood pressure too, so stacking the two could in theory push your numbers down a bit further than expected.

I want to be honest about how thin the evidence is here. This idea comes only from a lab and animal study using an injected form of CBG, not from people taking it by mouth. So it's a theoretical caution, not something proven. Still, if you'd notice things like dizziness, lightheadedness when standing, or feeling unusually faint, that's worth watching. Please check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding CBG, and don't change your blood pressure medicine on your own.

About Cannabigerol (cbg)

What is Cannabigerol (cbg)?

  • Anxiety and stress
  • Pain and inflammation
  • Sleep support
  • Focus and mood
  • Digestive discomfort

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a minor cannabinoid from the cannabis (hemp) plant that is marketed for anxiety, pain, and inflammation, but human research is very limited and most claims rest on laboratory and animal studies. It appears to be generally well tolerated in early reports, but its long-term safety, quality, and dosing are not well established. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before trying it, especially if you take other medicines or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

About Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide

What Is Amiloride and Hydrochlorothiazide Used For?

Brand names: Moduretic, Amilzide, Moduret 25, Amil-Co

Amiloride hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are used for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) or congestive heart failure who tend to develop low potassium (hypokalemia) when taking a thiazide or other diuretic alone — or for whom keeping potassium levels in a normal range is especially important, such as people taking digoxin or those with significant heart rhythm problems.

The tablets may be used on their own or alongside other blood pressure medicines, such as methyldopa or beta blockers. This combination product is not intended as the first-choice treatment for swelling (edema) or high blood pressure unless low potassium is a specific concern.
