Cannabinol (cbn) and Diltiazem, Enalapril

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

Moderate

CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS

Why this applies to Diltiazem, Enalapril

Diltiazem, Enalapril falls under CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) INHIBITORS — the group Cannabinol (cbn) interacts with.

Theoretically, CYP3A4 inhibitors might increase the levels and clinical effects of cannabinol.
In vitro research shows that CYP3A4 enzymes are involved in the 8-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 key thing to know: with this pair, it's the CBN that gets affected, not your medication. One ingredient in Teczem, diltiazem, slows down a liver enzyme called CYP3A4, which is the same enzyme that helps break down CBN. So in theory, taking them together could let CBN build up a bit and hit you harder, meaning more drowsiness, grogginess, or lightheadedness than you'd expect.

I want to be honest about how soft this evidence is. It comes only from lab studies, and it has never actually been reported in real people. So I wouldn't lose sleep over it, but since CBN products vary so much in quality and strength, please run it by your pharmacist or doctor first.

“Anyone taking Teczem (diltiazem with enalapril) for blood pressure should know that most of the 271 supplements with an interaction on file hit the same targets as the drug itself. The bulk either add to its blood-pressure-lowering effect or change how the body handles diltiazem, which is processed by an enzyme called CYP3A4.”
