| Toxicity Explanation | The toxicity level of CBD (Cannabidiol) is relatively low. It's been reported to be generally well-tolerated, especially at doses used for epilepsy. Typically, side effects may include tiredness, diarrhea, and changes in appetite or weight. However, as it is currently under investigational use in cancer treatment, including glioblastoma, the potential toxicities specific to cancer patients, particularly those with glioblastoma, are not fully understood and are currently under active research. It's essential to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment regimen. |
Notes: CBD, a non-psychoactive component of cannabis, has been explored for its potential therapeutic effects in cancer treatment, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-nausea properties, as well as possible direct anti-tumor effects. While preclinical studies have shown promising results, including inhibition of tumor growth and synergistic effects with chemotherapy in models of glioblastoma and other cancers, conclusive evidence from clinical trials is needed to fully understand its efficacy and optimal use in cancer treatment.
