Resumen
Más de un tercio de los adultos de EE. UU. han utilizado cannabidiol (CBD), y muchos lo utilizan junto con o en lugar de medicamentos convencionales, especialmente para el alivio del dolor. Se necesita más investigación sobre el CBD
Área de la Ciencia:
- Investigación sobre cannabidiol (CBD); Encuestas de salud pública; Medicina complementaria y alternativa
Sus antecedentes:
- El cannabidiol (CBD) es utilizado cada vez más por adultos en los Estados Unidos.; Comprender los patrones y las motivaciones detrás del uso de CBD es crucial para la salud pública.; Evaluar el papel del CBD en relación con los tratamientos médicos convencionales es un área importante de investigación.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Determinar la prevalencia del uso de CBD entre los adultos de EE. UU.; Identificar las condiciones de salud para las cuales se utiliza el CBD.; Examinar si el CBD sirve como sustituto o complemento de las terapias convencionales.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizó una encuesta transversal utilizando un panel en línea representativo a nivel nacional de EE. UU.; Se recopilaron datos de 2.880 encuestados adultos entre el 25 de octubre y el 3 de noviembre de 2023.; Se realizaron análisis ponderados para proporcionar estimaciones nacionales confiables de los patrones de uso de CBD.
Principales resultados:
- Se estima que el 35,2% de los adultos de EE. UU. han usado CBD alguna vez, y el 21,8% informó haberlo usado en el último año.; Entre los usuarios de CBD, el 32,0% lo usó como sustituto o complemento de otros medicamentos.; Las afecciones comúnmente tratadas incluyeron dolor musculoesquelético y ansiedad, y el ibuprofeno y el Tylenol se coadministraron o reemplazaron con frecuencia.
Conclusiones:
- El uso de CBD como sustituto o complemento de los medicamentos convencionales es prevalente entre los adultos de EE. UU., particularmente para el manejo del dolor.; Estos hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de evidencia más sólida sobre la eficacia, seguridad y uso óptimo del CBD.; Se requiere una guía más clara para los consumidores y los proveedores de atención médica sobre la dosificación del CBD, la calidad del producto y las posibles interacciones.

01:21Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting: Cannabinoids
830
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a phytocannabinoid that primarily interacts with the CB1 receptor, a type of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) predominantly in and around the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and emetic center. THC also blocks the serotonin receptor activity in the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) by inhibiting serotonin release. THC exerts its anti-emetic effects through these interactions, which are beneficial for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

3.2K
Drugs can be classified according to their chemical composition or their intended therapeutic application. For instance, anti-infective agents that possess the ability to eliminate pathogens or suppress their growth and reproduction can be grouped based on the organisms they target or their chemical structure. Furthermore, drugs can be divided into prescription, nonprescription, or controlled substances. Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, require oversight from a licensed healthcare...

01:24CNS Stimulants: Cocaine, Amphetamines and Cannabinoids
974
CNS stimulants, such as cocaine, amphetamines, and cannabinoids, have varying structures and mechanisms of action that lead to different therapeutic effects and side effects. Cocaine, with its molecular formula C17H21NO4, is a tropane alkaloid and a tertiary amino compound. It has two chemical forms: the hydrochloride salt and the "freebase." The former is in powder form, while the latter involves removing the hydrochloride salt to create a form that can be smoked. Cocaine exerts its...

Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Medications are typically administered to achieve therapeutic effects. Some drugs can modify an individual's mood and perception, frequently resulting in various enjoyable experiences. However, this can result in drug dependency, a condition marked by continuous drug use despite potential negative consequences. Drug dependency primarily falls into two categories: psychological and physical dependence. Psychological dependence occurs when the pleasurable feelings induced by the drug...

Body:In certain scenarios, in vitro dissolution tests can replace in vivo bioequivalence studies. This is particularly true when a drug product, though available in varying strengths, maintains proportional similarity in its active and inactive ingredients. In such cases, the need for in vivo bioequivalence studies for lower strength variants may be waived, provided dissolution tests and in vivo studies on the highest strength yield satisfactory results.Bioequivalence can be indicated through...
