Oxazepam

For an informed discussion with your doctor or pharmacist. This information collection is not a clinically validated interaction checker. Missing data do not establish safety. Do not change or stop prescribed medicines on the basis of this information. The findings apply to the specific conditions studied; laboratory and animal studies cannot be directly extrapolated to humans.

Active substance: Oxazepam

Examples of brand names: Adumbran [DE]

ATC code: N05BA04

Main use (for orientation): Anxiety; withdrawal syndromes

Documented research summary

CBD and THC inhibit oxazepam glucuronidation stereoselectively in vitro. The model predicts higher AUC with oral CBD at 700/2000 mg; for THC, only the highest modelled oral dose in the R-isomer scenario narrowly reaches the signal threshold. No clinically measured increase in oxazepam concentrations or clinically established dose threshold.

Uncertainties and limitations

Does not establish safety for less-studied cannabinoids or untested formulations/doses.

Do not infer clinical dosage from preclinical effects or enzyme hypotheses.

Separately recorded findings

2 separately recorded findings. Each statement applies to its documented study context.

CBD – laboratory and animal studies

Finding ID: B0105

Type of result: Context-specific finding; read the limitations

Observation: R/S glucuronidation inhibited in the laboratory.

Mechanism: Stereoselective UGT inhibition

Study type: In vitro and static in-vitro–in-vivo extrapolation (IVIVE)

Context studied: Recombinant UGT, human liver/kidney microsomes; R and S enantiomers assessed separately.

Clinical interpretation: Clinical effect not determined

Limitations and uncertainties: Do not infer clinical sedation or a dose change from this experiment.
