As an aside, anyone have any insight on people with NSAID allergies? I pretty much have not taken aspirin/NSAIDs since the first allergic response as a child. What can people like myself do for anti-inflammation?
If you go to the supermarket and get yourself some cbd topical solution for like sore muscles.. you are just getting generic sore muscle lotion that basically treats inflammation, and it has had cbd waved near it for an upcharge.
The only potential like thing here are high cbd transdermal patches but the dose is high and the efficacy is still pretty low.
Not always. They sell ibuprofen in a tube so you can rub it on muscles. If you are in the US, you probably don't see it on your pharmacy shelves, though. The pharmacy I worked at didn't sell it (and it was a large chain), but all of the pharmacies I've seen in Norway have it.
In the US topical diclofenac is common and sells well - brand name Voltaren. They (topical NSAIDs) are first line therapy for acute musculoskeletal pain.
Broken_Hippo already responded about NSAIDs not always being oral.
> CBD does seem to have an effect on inflammation.
Yes but it doesn't penetrate the skin very well. That's why I sort of hinted at large dose transdermals as being a possibility, but the small bit of research that has been done is both early and mixed. I think the transdermal is a pretty critical part here and I don't know of any approved transdermal CBD products, just lotions that are useless.
