Cannabinol (cbn) and Aspirin, Omeprazole

These two interact in 2 distinct ways. Each one is explained separately below.

Why Are There 2 Interactions?

Cannabinol (cbn) interacts with whole categories of medication. Aspirin, Omeprazole falls into 2 of those categories, so it can interact with Cannabinol (cbn) in 2 different ways. We’ve listed each one below — your overall risk is driven by the most serious of them (Moderate).

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) INHIBITORS

1 of 2

Why this applies to Aspirin, Omeprazole

Aspirin, Omeprazole falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) INHIBITORS — the group Cannabinol (cbn) interacts with.

Theoretically, CYP2C9 inhibitors might increase the levels and clinical effects of cannabinol.
In vitro research shows that CYP2C9 enzymes are involved in the 11-hydroxylation of cannabinol. So far, this interaction has not been reported 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 explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the thing to understand: in this pairing, your Yosprala (aspirin plus omeprazole) is the one doing the influencing, not the other way around. The omeprazole part can gently block a liver enzyme called CYP2C9, and lab studies suggest that same enzyme helps break down CBN. So in theory, taking them together could let CBN build up a little and feel stronger than expected, meaning more grogginess, drowsiness, or that next-day fog some people get.

I want to be honest about how soft this evidence is. It comes only from test-tube research and has never actually been reported in real people, so the real-world risk is likely small. Your aspirin and omeprazole themselves aren't expected to behave differently. Still, since CBN products vary a lot in quality and dose, it's worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES

2 of 2

Aspirin, Omeprazole also falls under CYTOCHROME P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) SUBSTRATES.

Theoretically, cannabinol might increase the levels and clinical effects of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that cannabinol potently inhibits CYP2C9 enzymes. So far, this interaction has not been reported 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 gist with Yosprala, which packs aspirin together with omeprazole. Your liver uses an enzyme called CYP2C9 to help process aspirin. Lab studies (done in test tubes, not in people) hint that CBN can block this enzyme. If that played out in the body, aspirin might hang around a bit longer and have stronger effects, which could mean more stomach irritation, heartburn, or easier bruising and bleeding.

I want to be honest, though: this has never actually been seen in humans yet. It's a theoretical concern based only on early lab work, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Still, since aspirin already nudges up bleeding risk, just give your pharmacist or doctor a heads-up before adding CBN so they can keep an eye out for you.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Aspirin, Omeprazole page

“Yosprala pairs aspirin, a blood thinner, with omeprazole, an acid reducer whose job is to shield the stomach from that aspirin, so this list carries real weight and warrants genuine care. Of the 318 supplements and herbs on file, nine are rated major, and understanding those first matters more than reading the rest.”
