class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To understand how CBD oil interacts with prescription medications, it is essential to grasp the concept of drug metabolism. Drug metabolism refers to the process by which the body breaks down and eliminates drugs from the system. This process occurs primarily in the liver, where enzymes play a crucial role in metabolizing drugs.<\/p>\n<p>When CBD oil is consumed, it enters the bloodstream and is transported to the liver, where it undergoes metabolism. The liver enzymes responsible for metabolizing CBD oil are known as cytochrome P450 enzymes. These enzymes are involved in breaking down various substances, including prescription medications.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_CBD_Oil_Interacts_with_Enzymes_in_the_Liver\"><\/span> How CBD Oil Interacts with Enzymes in the Liver<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Liver enzymes play a vital role in drug metabolism as they help break down medications into smaller molecules that can be eliminated from the body.
