CBD Shown to Prevent Opioid-Induced Respiratory Depression, Finds Study
A study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience finds that CBD may help counter the dangerous effects of opioids on breathing.
Researchers at UCLA found that CBD, when given before fentanyl exposure in an animal model, is
as effective as naloxone at preventing opioid-induced respiratory depression.
Naloxone is currently the only approved medication for reversing opioid-induced apnea, but it can also trigger withdrawal symptoms and reverse pain relief.
- mice were pretreated with either saline, vehicle, naloxone, CBD, or a combination of CBD and naloxone before receiving fentanyl.
Author summary: CBD helps prevent opioid-induced respiratory depression.
