Will Topical CBD Products Cause a Drug Interaction?
​

"Unlike CBD oils or edibles which are ingested, CBD topicals aren’t digested in the body and absorbed by the bloodstream. That being said, a CBD salve, cream, balm, or lotion as used in a massage, should NOT cause a drug interaction."

CBD topicals are awesome for several reasons.
​
For one, they provide localized relief. Sore knee, painful wrist, or achy back? Simply rub a CBD topical on your sore spot and let the non-psychoactive cannabinoid work its magic. For another, CBD topicals work quickly to provide the relief you need. CBD topicals work so quickly because they’re absorbed by the skin, which contains its own endocannabinoid system. Unlike CBD oils or edibles, CBD topicals aren’t digested in the body and absorbed by the bloodstream. That being said, a CBD salve, cream, balm, or lotion should NOT cause a drug interaction. Since it isn’t digested and doesn’t make its way through the liver or interact with the cytochrome P450 system, CBD creams, salves, balms, and lotions should NOT cause a drug interaction. While a CBD topical shouldn’t cause a drug interaction, it could cause an allergic reaction. An allergic reaction is NOT a drug interaction, however. When using CBD topicals you should always check the ingredients. When using CBD topicals you should always check the ingredients. Be advised other side effects are possible but also very rare with topicals.

Final Thoughts on Topical CBD Products Causing a Drug Interaction

Bottom line.

You should always check with your doctor before using any type of CBD products. Especially if you’re currently taking other medications. That being said, topicals like CBD balms, creams, lotions, and salves shouldn’t cause a drug interaction as they’re not absorbed by the liver.
