If you’re troubled by chronic pain, you may be looking for relief. Unfortunately, some patients may be unable to turn to prescription medication due to factors like cost or allergies to common ingredients. Our pharmacists near Cedar Lake can help you explore CBD as an alternative option for pain management.
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound found in marijuana and usually derived from hemp. Hemp is “any part of the cannabis sativa plant with no more than 0.3% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).” Since CBD does not contain THC, it does not cause a “high.”
According to Forbes Health, 60% of adults in the US who use CBD products use them for pain relief. Research into the effects of CBD on pain is ongoing, but there are some promising results. A 2020 study testing CBD for use on patients with damage to the peripheral nervous system found that the drug did reduce pain, cold and itchy sensations when compared to the placebo.
Another study, conducted in 2018, tested the use of CBD gel for knee pain resulting from osteoarthritis. The study found that, while patient’s weekly pain scores weren’t improved much, their worst pain scores were. In other words, the gel may have had an impact on the intenseness of pain reported by participants.
If this is a concern for you, you may wish to consider one of Custom Dosing’s topical CBD products. Topical products help to treat specific parts of the body by providing more targeted relief.
While CBD is not currently approved as a painkiller in the US, it is used in Epidiolex, a medication used to treat rare forms of epilepsy. CBD is also used alongside THC in Sativex, a treatment option of multiple sclerosis. According to Forbes, “Sativex is already approved as an MS treatment around the world due to its success in clinical trials.”
Research into CBD products is ongoing. One of the biggest problems with CBD is that products containing it are not regulated by the FDA. This means that it’s important for consumers to ensure that they are purchasing from a trusted source, such as Custom Dosing’s pharmacists near Cedar Lake.
Before making a purchase, you may wish to consult your doctor as well as our team to learn if CBD products are right for you. Custom Dosing Pharmacy near Cedar Lake offers consultations to help you obtain the best care. Our pharmacists can create customized doses and dosage forms that match your exact needs.
If you are struggling with pain management and feel that your needs aren’t met by traditional medicine, it may be time to reach out to one of our experts to learn more.
Please consult your doctor or health professional before using CBD products. The FDA has not evaluated statements of CBD and its uses, and this product is not currently approved by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
