CBD FAQs

1.  How is ReviveMD different than other CBD products?

ReviveMD was founded on the principle of trust.  Unlike the vast majority of CBD products, our products are not sold to the public, but rather must be purchased from a partnering healthcare provider.  This model promotes a provider-patient relationship, which ultimately, is best for the patient. Furthermore, our products are meticulously crafted from seed to bottle using the most advanced and safest methods available.  This ensures quality and consistency that both the healthcare provider and patient can trust. 

2.  What are common uses for CBD?

CBD is not intended to treat or cure any disease.  Although CBD can be used in many ways, CBD is most commonly used to improve the symptoms associated with pain, sleep, and anxiety.  In addition, patients with Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and seizure disorders have also found CBD to be beneficial.

3. What is the best way to take CBD?

Based on scientific research, the highest rate of absorption for CBD occurs by placing it under the tongue which allows it to directly enter the bloodstream.  This method allows the CBD to by-pass liver metabolism which increases the amount of CBD available for use by the body. CBD can also be taken in the form of a capsule, however, we do not recommend this form of administration.  Topical CBD is an alternate option for patients with a localized pain issue.

4. How do I know the correct amount of CBD to use?

Scientists and physicians at ReviveMD have painstakingly reviewed hundreds of scientific articles and have collaborated with an extensive network of partnering healthcare professionals to create a precise, condition specific, dosing schedule. This dosing schedule is available to you on our website here.

5. What is the difference between full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD?

Full-spectrum CBD contains a high concentration of cannabidiol along with small amounts of all of the other cannabinoids within the cannabis plant.  This includes, a small amount (<0.3%) of THC.  Even though it contains a small amount of THC it does not cause intoxication or euphoria. Broad spectrum CBD also contains high concentrations of cannabidiol and the other associated cannabinoids, but contains zero THC. 

6. Will taking CBD cause me to have a positive urine drug screen?

Any CBD product can cause a positive urine drug screen.  However, the important component to drug testing is the confirmatory test.  If a patient is using full-spectrum CBD there is a possibility the confirmatory test could be positive for THC. With patients using broad-spectrum CBD, again, the urine drug screen may be positive; however, the confirmatory test for THC will always be negative because it contains zero THC. 

7. What are common side effects of CBD?

After review of published research along with the clinical experiences of our extensive provider network, the side effect of somnolence (feeling tired), is the most common side effect.  We have estimated this side effect can occur in 5-10% of patients.  Other side effects that have been reported, but are rare include GI discomfort, headache, hives, and pruritus (itchiness). 

8. How long after starting CBD will it take to notice a benefit?

This can vary.  Some patients notice benefit after a single dose. However, it can also take up to 3-4 weeks to notice a benefit.  It is important to continue to use CBD based upon the recommend dosing schedule. 

9.  Is CBD safe to take with other medications?

CBD has an excellent safety profile.  However, it is very important to consult your physician before starting to take CBD.
