Epidiolex and Botox drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Epidiolex (cannabidiol) and Botox (botulinum toxin type a). Common drug interactions include hypothermia among females and seizure among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Epidiolex and Botox. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 37 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.

- Cough
- Death
- Flatulence (flatus expelled through the anus)
- Petechiae (a small red or purple spot caused by bleeding into the skin)
- Pneumonia aspiration (bronchopneumonia that develops due to the entrance of foreign materials into the bronchial tree)
- Pyrexia (fever)
male:
- Seizure (abnormal excessive or synchronous neuronal activity in the brain)
- Hospitalisation
- Movement disorder (neurological syndromes where they may be excess of movement or a paucity of movement that is not connected to weakness)

The study uses data from the FDA. It is based on cannabidiol and botulinum toxin type a (the active ingredients of Epidiolex and Botox, respectively), and Epidiolex and Botox (the brand names). Other drugs that have the same active ingredients (e.g. generic drugs) are not considered. Dosage of drugs is not considered in the study.
