A Review of Cannabis and Interactions With Anticoagulant and Antiplatelet Agents
@article{Greger2019ARO, title={A Review of Cannabis and Interactions With Anticoagulant and Antiplatelet Agents}, author={J. Greger and Vernice Bates and Laszlo L. Mechtler and Francis M. Gengo}, journal={The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology}, year={2019}, volume={60} }
Legalization of medical cannabis has occurred in 33 states and the District of Columbia, and recreational use has increased exponentially since 2013. As a result, it is important to understand how cannabis interacts with other drugs and has potential risks for patients on concomitant medications. Components of medical cannabis can inhibit or compete for several cytochrome P450 (CYP) hepatic isoenzymes, UDP‐glucuronosyltransferases, and P‐glycoprotein. These enzymes and transporters are involved…
