@colleenyoung and @sakura91. Here's what I've learned about CBD oil and blood thinners. I'm prescribed a blood thinner (Eliquis 12.5 mg x 2 daily: (Canada) as per my weight.) My doctor is a highly respected, highly informed Cardiologist/Gastroenterologist) who deals with both my cardio and GI issues and knows me well over our 12 year history, of my severe reaction to multiple prescription meds.
When I asked him if it was safe for me to take CBD oil (30 to 1 ratio in favor of CBD as opposed to HTC (?) content), he WAS concerned because he advised that CBD can act as a blood thinner with those medications and thus interact with the Eliquis,
causing more risk of bleeding than even the Eliquis poses.
He gave me permission IF I took only 25 mg per day by dropper. That's not very much! It's the smallest marking on the dropper supplied with my brand of CBD oil. I also enquired of the pharmacist at the providing company and they concurred with my doc's advice.
I mostly use my 25 mg each day to apply directly to oral lichen planus areas by finger. It soothes the pain for a while and I also visualize it in a positive manner as easing my anxiety and multiple pain issues with GCA, osteoarthritis, etc. (I have a good imagination!) Hopefully Laurie
