Cannabigerol (cbg) and Bosentan

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

Moderate

ANTIHYPERTENSIVE DRUGS

Why this applies to Bosentan

Bosentan 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 for Tracleer (bosentan). This medicine already works to relax and open up the blood vessels in your lungs, which can also nudge your overall blood pressure down. The concern with CBG is that it might add to that lowering effect, so in theory the two together could drop your blood pressure a bit more than expected. If that happened, you might feel lightheaded, dizzy, or wobbly when you stand up, or notice a fast heartbeat or tiredness.

I want to be honest about the evidence though: this is very weak. The blood-pressure effect was only seen in animals given an injection, not in people taking CBG by mouth. So this is more of a theoretical caution than a proven problem. Still, please loop in your pharmacist or doctor before adding CBG, since PAH is serious business.

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 Bosentan

What Is Bosentan Used For?

Brand name: Tracleer

Bosentan is used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) — high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs. In adults, it helps improve the ability to exercise and slows how quickly the disease gets worse.

In children aged 3 years and older with idiopathic (no known cause) or congenital (present from birth) PAH, bosentan is used to lower resistance in the lung blood vessels, which is expected to improve exercise ability. Tracleer is one brand approved for both adults and pediatric patients with PAH.
