Abstract:
In the setting of increasing patient-reported cannabidiol (CBD) usage in the dermatologic setting, it is of great importance that clinicians become aware of potential medication interactions that may arise from cannabidiol usage in order to ensure safe and efficacious medication therapy. This brief review aimed to bring awareness to the mechanism of CBD while highlighting potential interactions between CBD and medication therapy for commonly encountered dermatologic conditions, including acne, allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, pruritus, skin aging, skin cancer, and psoriasis.

Principles of Drug Action
Drugs can be agonists or antagonists. Like the endogenous ligands, agonists always bind and activate the target to produce a cellular response. Agonist binding induces a conformational change which in turn...

Oral inhalation and nasal sprays swiftly transfer drugs across the respiratory epithelium's mucosal layer. Inhaled glucocorticoids and bronchodilators directly target lung conditions such as asthma, while fluticasone nasal spray mitigates allergic rhinitis.
