This is likely because cannabis can help manage the harsh side effects of interferon and ribavirin therapy, which was previously commonplace for Hep C treatment. Newer antiviral regimens are available which can treat Hep C with more tolerable side effects. </p>\n<p>There is no data to suggest that cannabis products help to treat Hep C itself. However, there is also no clear evidence that cannabis products harm those with Hep C disproportionately. A relatively recent study in 2014 (<a href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4144456/\">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4144456/</a>) found that cannabis use among those with Hep C did not alter outcomes substantially although a previous study did show that cannabis use was associated with higher fat accumulation in the liver among cannabis users with Hep C (<a href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18242211\">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18242211</a>).</p>\n<p>If you are taking CBD oil or using other cannabis products, it is not likely affecting your Hep C treatment to a large extent. It is important to reiterate that there is no evidence that CBD oil can treat Hep C itself. Antiviral medication is the standard of care for treating Hep C. You should discuss your cannabis use and overall Hep C treatment plan with your hepatologist. Sharing this information with all of your physicians is critical since cannabis use can affect your eligibility for transplant in the future.</p>\n<p>sankmd</p>","timeToRead":1}},"defaultImage":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/2wBDABALDA4MChAODQ4SERATGCgaGBYWGDEjJR0oOjM9PDkzODdASFxOQERXRTc4UG1RV19iZ2hnPk1xeXBkeFxlZ2P/2wBDARESEhgVGC8aGi9jQjhCY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2P/wgARCAANABQDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QAGAAAAgMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQBAgP/xAAWAQEBAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAT/2gAMAwEAAhADEAAAAaC0ZzsLiv/EABkQAQEAAwEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAECABESMf/aAAgBAQABBQKjtdM+YUmVb0u8/8QAFBEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEP/aAAgBAwEBPwE//8QAFhEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABIB/9oACAECAQE/AZ1L/8QAGhAAAgIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABABESFRgf/aAAgBAQAGPwKKWuKzJ//EABwQAQACAgMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEAESExQVGBof/aAAgBAQABPyElahUIB4+TGz6tLGmK7ZiOTP/aAAwDAQACAAMAAAAQcD//xAAUEQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQ/9oACAEDAQE/ED//xAAYEQEBAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABABFBUf/aAAgBAgEBPxAzAajq/8QAHRABAAICAwEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAQARITFBUXGRof/aAAgBAQABPxCykylVdbSLgUGjS/NJ+zOgJzVz7WoTpCMIsOh15EYrDnif/9k=","aspectRatio":1.5,"src":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg","srcSet":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/decd9/question-default-image.jpg 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/15aed/question-default-image.jpg 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/a07a5/question-default-image.jpg 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/701ee/question-default-image.jpg 800w","srcWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp","srcSetWebp":"/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/e8bcc/question-default-image.webp 150w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/4fec1/question-default-image.webp 300w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/483a3/question-default-image.webp 600w,\n/static/1e164eb4ee29aff63b63675577d389d3/2ad7f/question-default-image.webp 800w","sizes":"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"}}}},"pageContext":{"id":11468,"slug":"is-there-a-concern-in-taking-cbd-oil-if-you-have-hep-c-the-blood-works-says-low-activity","country":"US"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3949754563","4179947113","4202924991"]}
