CBD Oil (Over-the-Counter)
Cannabidiol (CBD Oil) is classified as non-formulary. Inpatient use is generally discouraged. However, inpatients may use home supply if needed, with an order from a physician, according to the Herbal/Homeopathic Orders policy currently in place.
The FDA has specified that CBD products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition and that it is an unapproved new drug. However, it is currently legal to sell CBD if it meets the definition in the Agricultural Improvement Act (aka the Farm Bill), which is hemp-derived CBD with less than 0.3% THC (OTC approved products).
The FDA has not described what would be an appropriate use and has not described what would be appropriate dose.
Common CBD OTC products include capsules, tablets, soft gels, gummies, liquids, balms, lotions, creams, oils, tinctures, and inhalation.
