CBDMEDIC is one brand working hard to comply with new laws.
CBDMEDIC
products are FDA-registered OTC topical medications produced in a cGMP FDA registered and audited facility to ensure the highest quality control standards.
There are big changes on the horizon, something CBDMEDIC understands quite well.
In an October 2018 interview with Drug Store News, when asked if their products were safe and legal to sell, Perry Antelman, CEO of Abacus Health, the parent company of CBDMEDIC, had the following to say:
All CBDMEDIC products are produced in conformance with Food and Drug Administration requirements and registered as OTC non-prescription topical analgesics.
In addition, the CBD derived from industrial hemp used in all CBDMEDIC products is 100% federally legal, because it complies with applicable federal laws.
Menthol and camphor are the active pain-relief ingredients in our products, and no medical claims are attributed to the CBD/hemp extract.
Our attorney in these matters is a former associate chief counsel at the FDA, so the guidance we receive is grounded in FDA regulations.
Our products are as legally safe to market as any other FDA-compliant topical pain relief product already sold on retailers’ shelves.
Further, all CBDMEDIC products are made with THC-free hemp extract, so there is no concern regarding any effects from or testing of THC.
What Makes CBDMEDIC Different?
CBDMEDIC is different from other companies on the market. CBDMEDIC is registered with the FDA.

What does this mean, exactly?
For one, they can make legitimate claims about the pain relieving properties contained in their line of products.
Here’s the thing, though.
CBDMEDIC isn’t making any claims that aren’t backed by the FDA.
They’re not claiming their Revolutionary Pain Relief Creams & Ointments can replace a visit to the doctor or that CBD will solve all your pain issues permanently.
But they are meeting some very specific criteria, including:
- CBD derived from hemp plants grown in conformance with USDA requirements (meaning no more than 0.3% THC).
- CBD produced in facilities with audited quality systems to ensure consistent product quality with each and every batch.
- Legal claims on the label so customers understand the intended benefits of the product that can be logically placed in a store location where customers expect to find solutions for their specific needs (such as the external analgesics section)
- When the product makes medical claims, such as “muscle and joint pain relief,” it has to be registered with the FDA in order to be sold legally.
CBDMEDIC has nailed each and every one of these points.
They’re not basing the muscle and joint pain relief from CBD, but rather from the menthol and camphor contained in their products, which are recognized by the FDA for having medical value.
CBD is simply another ingredient, and because CBD is not yet recognized by the FDA to hold medical value (except for the case of FDA-approved CBD drug Epidiolex), CBDMEDIC has made zero claims attributed to hemp/CBD extract.
CBDMEDIC is one of the first companies to offer – which have been registered with the FDA…simply because it’s one that doesn’t make any health claims about CBD itself, but rather other ingredients in their product that are recognized by the FDA.
CBDMEDIC’S Line of Pain Relieving Products

As for the products themselves, their line of creams and ointments “provide an entirely new class of products for supporting rapid and lasting relief from joint and muscle pain.”
With CBDMEDIC, you’ve got four options:
- Odour-Free Cream
- Serious Relief, Arthritis Cream
- Deep Relief, Intense Pain Ointment
- Powerful Relief, Active Sport Ointment
So, whether you’re a runner, someone who enjoys yoga, crushes it at CrossFit, or are into extreme sports like snowboarding and dirt biking, CBDMEDIC has a pain-relieving ointment designed with your active lifestyle in mind.
For those who aren’t exercising regularly but suffer from the often-debilitating pain associated with arthritis, there’s also a cream made just for you.
And for people with back and neck pain from spending hours upon hours in front of your computer screen (which we can totally relate to), CBDMEDIC offers their Deep Relief, Intense Pain Ointment.
Basically, they’ve got a bit of something for everyone.
Final Thoughts
We’re poised to see some very big changes on the CBD front with the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill.
More regulation and total transparency of existing and emerging companies will ensure we’re all getting exactly what a product claims to be, which hasn’t exactly been the case up until now.
We’ll be sure to keep you posted on exactly what changes transpire in this very exciting time in hemp history. s
