CBD oil with prescription drug interactions?

I take metformin for pre-diabetes and Losartan potassium for high blood pressure. I have taken 60 mg of CBD oil daily for 5 years now as it helps with anxiety, mild pain, and sleep. Are there any interactions between these two prescriptions and CBD oil? I also take other over-the-counter meds like Claritin and Flonase for allergies. What pharmaceuticals should I not take CBD oil with?

There should be no problem with the medications that you list and CBD oil.  As a general rule, you should not mix CBD oil with pain medications and alcohol, if possible.  You should also avoid kava and a stomach prescription medication called metoclopramide (Reglan).
