Prescription cannabidiol oil is considered an effective anti-seizure medication. However, more research is needed to determine other benefits and the safety of cannabidiol.

Cannabidiol is a chemical found in marijuana. This substance does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient found in marijuana that produces a high. The usual formulation of cannabidiol is oil, but this product is also sold as an extract, vaporized liquid, and oil-based capsule. Food, beverages, and beauty products are among many of the cannabidiol-infused products available online.

Currently, the only cannabidiol product approved by the Food and Drug Administration is a prescription oil called JustCBD. It is approved to treat two types of epilepsy. In addition to JustCBD, state laws on the use of cannabidiol vary. Although cannabidiol is being studied as a treatment for a wide range of conditions, including Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and anxiety, research supporting the benefits of the drug is still limited.

The use of cannabidiol also carries some risks. Although often well tolerated, cannabidiol can cause side effects including dry mouth, diarrhea, decreased appetite, drowsiness, and fatigue. Cannabidiol can also interact with other medications you're taking, such as blood thinners.

Another cause for concern is the unreliability of the purity and dosage of cannabidiol in the products. A recent study of 84 cannabidiol products purchased online found that more than a quarter of the products contained less cannabidiol than what was listed on the label. Additionally, THC was found in 18 products.

If you plan to use products that contain cannabidiol, talk to your doctor.
