No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) and Bromodiphenhydramine 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.

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) and Bromodiphenhydramine

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 Bromodiphenhydramine and Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) 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.

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.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Bromodiphenhydramine

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Bromodiphenhydramine is filed under 5 classifications — including cytochrome p450 2d6 (cyp2d6) inhibitors, anticholinergic drugs, photosensitizing drugs. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) has documented interactions with 16 drug classes — the most serious being alcohol (ethanol) (moderate), anesthesia (moderate) and anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (moderate) — and none of Bromodiphenhydramine’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Bromodiphenhydramine. It is the side-effect record for Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc), this list is the first place to look. 7 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Dependence or withdrawal symptoms Worth acting on Additional detail

    “Cannabinoids such as THC can increase anxiety, confusion, depressed mood, and hallucinations, and reduce motivation. Cannabis dabbing, the making of a waxy product with extremely high concentrations of THC, is thought to increase the risk of anxiety, agitation, paranoia, and psychosis.”

Special populations

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Unsafe

When used orally or inhaled. Cannabinoid constituents in cannabis, such as THC, pass through the placenta and can reduce fetal growth and increase the risk for preterm birth. Cannabis use during pregnancy is also associated with placental abruption, stillbirth, preterm delivery, fetal abnormalities, low birth weight, small for gestational age, increased need for neonatal intensive care, and childhood leukemia. Prenatal cannabis use has also been associated with long-term adverse developmental effects in the offspring, such as worsened cognition, increased risk for neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, and increased risk for psychological issues during adolescence. Due to the observational nature of these studies, it is unclear if cannabis causes these adverse effects. Umbilical artery Doppler scans also show that cannabis use can increase placental vascular resistance. Cannabis use during pregnancy has been associated with increased risk of anemia and hypertension in the mother. Although the safety of pure THC has not been investigated during pregnancy, it is likely that THC is at least partially responsible for these safety concerns. The rate of negative fetal outcomes due to cannabis use during pregnancy may have been previously underestimated due to reliance on maternal self-reporting of use. Recent programs requiring maternal urine toxicology testing have increased awareness of maternal cannabis use and suggest that negative fetal outcomes occur more frequently than previously recorded.

Lactation Likely Unsafe

When used orally or inhaled. THC is concentrated and excreted in breast milk for longer than 6 weeks after cessation of use; prolonged use of cannabis containing THC during lactation has been associated with delayed motor development. Observational research in mothers who successfully abstained from cannabis use for 6 weeks (confirmed by a negative THC urine screen) after smoking cannabis prenatally at least twice weekly, found that THC levels in breastmilk increased during the first 2 weeks of abstinence and then decreased but remained detectable at 6 weeks. For patients planning to breastfeed, recommend abstaining from THC use prenatally and during lactation. Recommendations to discard breastmilk until THC levels are undetectable are not practical, as this may take more than 6 weeks.

“If you take bromodiphenhydramine (Ambodryl), an older sedating antihistamine, this is a list to check before every new supplement, because 3 of the 74 entries carry a major rating. The largest group, 30 ingredients including henbane and scopolia, piles onto the drug's drying, sedating anticholinergic effects, which can mean blurred vis…”

About Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc)

What is Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc)?

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc)
  • Chronic or nerve pain
  • Nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy
  • Appetite loss and weight loss
  • Muscle spasticity
  • Sleep problems
  • Anxiety and stress

THC is the main mind-altering compound in cannabis and is best known for causing a 'high.' A prescription form (dronabinol) is approved for chemotherapy-related nausea and appetite loss, but for most other uses the evidence is mixed or limited, and THC can impair thinking and driving. It should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding and used only with medical guidance.

Cannabis sativa · Cannabaceae · Flowering tops and resin of the cannabis plant (THC is a single cannabinoid isolated or concentrated from these) · Prescription oral capsules (dronabinol), oral oil/solution, dried flower, vape and concentrate products (such as butane hash oil/dabs), tinctures, and edibles

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc) record says about it on its own.

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (thc): dosing

There is no single standard dose of THC for general use, and the right amount varies widely from person to person based on tolerance, the product, and the reason for use. Concentrated products contain much more THC than dried flower, which makes accidental overuse easy.For prescription products such as dronabinol, a doctor sets the dose.
