Caneura Strawberry Flavour Solution 60ml

Caneura Strawberry Flavour Solution 60ml may interact with other medicines, such as:

• Antiepileptic medicines (e.g., clobazam, valproate): Cannabidiol may increase levels of certain medicines (such as clobazam) and their active metabolites, leading to increased sedation and a higher risk of liver enzyme elevation (especially with valproate). Monitoring or dose adjustment may be required.
• CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, omeprazole): These medicines may slow down the metabolism of cannabidiol, leading to higher levels in the body. This may increase the risk of side effects such as drowsiness or liver-related effects, and dose adjustment may be required.
• CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): These medicines may increase the breakdown of cannabidiol, reducing its levels in the body. This may decrease its effectiveness in controlling seizures, and dose adjustment may be needed based on response.
• CNS depressants (e.g., diazepam, alprazolam): Taking this medicine with other central nervous system depressants may enhance sedative effects such as drowsiness, fatigue, and reduced alertness. Dose adjustments or caution may be required.
• Enzyme substrate medicines (e.g., phenytoin, lamotrigine, bupropion): Cannabidiol may affect how these medicines are metabolised in the body, potentially increasing or decreasing their levels. Monitoring and dose adjustment may be required to avoid side effects or reduced effectiveness.

Caneura Strawberry Flavour Solution 60ml may be affected by food intake, such as:

• High-fat meals: Taking this medicine with a high-fat meal can significantly increase the absorption of cannabidiol, which may increase its concentration in the body as well as the risk of side effects such as drowsiness or fatigue. It is important to take the medicine consistently, either with food or without food, as advised by your doctor.
• Grapefruit and grapefruit juice: Grapefruit products may affect liver enzymes that metabolise medicines. Consult your doctor before consuming grapefruit while taking this medicine.

Use Caneura Strawberry Flavour Solution 60ml with caution if you have:

• Liver disease: This medicine may increase liver enzyme levels, especially in patients with pre-existing liver conditions or when taken with certain antiepileptic medicines such as valproate. Regular monitoring and dose adjustment may be required.
• Mood disorders: This medicine may increase the risk of mood changes, depression, or suicidal thoughts in some individuals. Close monitoring is important, especially during the early phase of treatment or dose changes.

Take Caneura Strawberry Flavour Solution 60ml exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dose is usually started low and gradually increased based on your response and tolerability to reduce the risk of side effects. The dose is often calculated based on body weight (mg/kg/day), especially in children. Your doctor may adjust the dose over time depending on seizure control and clinical response.

Taking more than the prescribed dose may increase the risk of side effects such as excessive drowsiness, diarrhoea, or liver-related problems. If an overdose is suspected, seek medical attention immediately for proper evaluation and management.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
