Cannabinol, or CBD, is part of the endocannabinoid system and has been shown to have impact on the physiological processes affecting pain, anxiety, sleep and inflammation. Research has shown CBD has a very high safety profile and potentially significant role in medical use. CBD can be utilized in a topical or oral formulation.
Immunosuppressant drugs are a class of drugs that suppress or reduce the strength of the body’s immune system. Immunosuppressant drugs are used to treat autoimmune diseases that fail to respond to more conservative treatments.
With an autoimmune disease, the immune system attacks the body’s own tissue. Because immunosuppressant drugs weaken the immune system, they suppress this reaction.
This helps reduce the impact of the autoimmune disease on the body.
Autoimmune diseases treated with immunosuppressant drugs include:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Lupus
- Psoriatic Arthritis
- Sjögren’s
- Ankylosing Spondylitis
