Gummies usually are not overly strong. If they are helping your arthritis it sounds like they may be good ones. You just need to be sure you are getting from a good lab and not down at the gas station. Doubt any problem with your other meds. Be sure to let your PCP know you use these. It’s best to always have a complete medicine list.
Good luck and take care.
Cannabidiol does interact with b- blockers and might produce some undesired cardiovascular effects eg. tachycardia. Apixaban stays in the blood longer and with CBD might cause side effects
Are you asking if this is a good idea? We don’t have good reliable data on CBD regarding safety and drug interactions.
