CBD.....What is that & Is It SAFE?

 

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is a unique antioxidant compound found in the Hemp Plant. CBD is non-intoxicating, and may offer enormous therapeutic potential to patients suffering from a wide variety of pain, inflammation, anxiety, and sleep disorders. It may even reduce or eliminate your need for post-surgery pain medication, offering patients alternative relief options.  Unlike its cousin, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive.

CBD Wellness Benefits May Include:

  • Sleep Improvement
  • Anti-Inflammatory
  • Reduction of Muscle, Joint & Arthritis Pain
  • Anxiety & Stress Relief
  • Reduced Dependency on Prescription Opiates
  • Strengthen Immune System

Ortho Rhode Island is dedicated to improving the lives of our patients through innovative, individualized care, including the use of CBD products that may offer therapeutic potential.  Our patients have been asking about CBD and we are excited about the opportunity as Medical Providers, to offer them the purest CBD products available.

Because the FDA doesn't regulate CBD, it is possible to buy a product that is more or less potent than advertised, or even contains small amounts of THC.  This is why it is important to buy CBD that is third party tested.

We’ve partnered with PurMed Global to provide our patients access to the highest quality pharmacist formulated CBD wellness products. All of PurMed's finished products are responsibly sourced from a proprietary seed-to-sale supply chain, and meet the highest level of safety standards, consistency, and compliance.

PurMed CBD products are 100% THC FREE. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), is the part of the Cannabis plant that is responsible for producing the sense of being “high” or feeling euphoric.

We feel these products are superior to other products on the market based on their stringent processing and testing.  The positive part of the cannabis plant (with 0 % THC) is what can offer our patients other options for some diagnoses.   Please speak to your ORI provider if you're interested.  Here are the 3 types of CBD available.

 

PurMed Global CBD Relief Cream : This topical cream can be applied multiple times, day or night, to painful trigger points, muscles, arthritic joints (especially on the hands, knees, or feet), and other "sore spots". It is intended for 4-6 hours of relief.  Each bottle contains a powerful combination of 400 mg of Pure CBD immersed within a rapid cooling formula containing Arnica and Menthol (90-100 servings per bottle).

Rapid Relief Cream Directions: Apply topically to affected areas and rub in thoroughly. For best results, apply throughout the day and night as needed.

 

PurMed Global CBD Oil Tinctures:  While the bottles may look the same, 1 fl. oz. /30 mL, they each contain different concentrations of CBD:

  • The 900 mg PurMed CBD Oil formula is designed to be a “Starter” Tincture. Assuming a patient was to administer 15 mg under the tongue twice a day (15 mg is 0.50 mL and is marked "1/2" on the dropper inside the cap) it would last 30 days.
  • The 2400 mg PurMed CBD Oil formula is designed to be a “Titration” Tincture. Assuming a patient was to administer 20 mg under the tongue twice a day (20 mg is 0.25 mL and is marked "1/4" on the dropper inside the cap) it would last 60 days.
  • The 4500 mg PurMed CBD Oil formula is designed to be a “Maintenance” Tincture. Assuming a patient was to administer 37.5 mg under the tongue twice a day (37.5 mg is 0.25 mL and is marked "1/4" on the dropper inside the cap) it would last 60 days.

Oil Tincture Directions: Take your oil tincture dose orally. Place drops under the tongue and hold for 60-90 seconds, then swallow. Taking with food that contains a higher fat content may help improve absorption. Always consult with your PurMed Provider on proper dosage, dose frequency, and titration amounts.

 

PurMed Global CBD Gummies: These Organic and All Natural Gummies contain 700 mg of Pure CBD. There are 35 CBD Gummies per Bottle and each Gummy contains 20 mg of CBD.

CBD Gummy Directions: Take gummies as directed by a Medical Provider. For best results, take like a lozenge. Keep in mouth and let dissolve as long as possible, then chew and swallow remaining gummy.  Always consult with your PurMed Provider on proper dosage, dose frequency, and titration amounts.

PurMed CBD Products DO NOT Require a Prescription for Purchase.   Premier Medical Grade CBD products are  available exclusively at all of our locations.  We began launching these products on August 17, 2020.
