Taking CBD (cannabidiol) with bisoprolol can cause your blood pressure to drop too low and your heart rate to slow down more than intended. You may feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint. Additionally, CBD can interfere with how your liver breaks down bisoprolol, potentially leading to higher levels of the medicine in your blood.

Why this happens
Both substances can lower blood pressure and heart rate (additive effect). Furthermore, CBD can block certain liver enzymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6) that are responsible for clearing bisoprolol from your body, which may increase the risk of side effects.
What you should do
Back to contentsYou should speak to your doctor before using CBD with bisoprolol. If you do use them together, monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly. Seek medical advice if you feel very dizzy or if your heart feels like it is beating very slowly.

Treatment and medication
Can I take Desmopressin and Ketoconazole together?
Taking these two medicines together can significantly increase the amount of desmopressin in your blood. This can lead to your body holding onto too much water, which can cause a dangerous drop in your blood salt levels (hyponatraemia). Symptoms to watch for include severe headache, nausea, vomiting, confusion, or feeling very drowsy.
Treatment and medication
Can I take 7.5mg and Medikinet together?
Taking Zopiclone and Medikinet (methylphenidate) together can cause a 'tug-of-war' effect in your body. Medikinet is a stimulant designed to wake you up and help you focus, while Zopiclone is a sedative designed to make you sleepy. Taking them at the same time can make both medicines less effective. Additionally, while Medikinet is active, it may be harder for you to fall asleep, even after taking Zopiclone. In some cases, mixing stimulants and sedatives can lead to unpredictable effects on your coordination, heart rate, or mental state (such as feeling confused or agitated).
