Cbd oil and sulfasalazine

Lopeylamb

Hi much has been said about cbd oil and it’s beneficial effects on Rheumatoid arthritis and pain in general. I was wondering if anyone has any information on whether it can be taken with Sulfasalazine. I don’t think any official studies have been done but wanted to know the risks and side effects. Has anyone tried cbd oil?

Welcome @Lopeylamb to the online community,

You are asking about cannabis oil and whether it can be taken with sulfasalazine. I attach some links which you might find useful and may I suggest that you speak with your G.P, pharmacist or rheumatology team to clarify if the two can be taken together.
