Medical Cannabis

Medical cannabis may be considered as a treatment option when conventional therapies are not sufficiently effective or are not well tolerated. The active substances THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system and may help to influence various symptoms.

Areas of Application

Chronic pain: for example in back pain, osteoarthritis or rheumatic diseases – especially when standard pain medication is not effective enough.

Multiple sclerosis (MS): possible reduction of spasticity and improvement of mobility.

Epilepsy: particularly in treatment-resistant cases (e.g. with CBD).

Nausea and loss of appetite: for example during chemotherapy or in severe illnesses.

Sleep disorders and anxiety: may be used as supportive therapy in selected cases.

Treatment Approach

Treatment is individualized and carried out under medical supervision. Cannabis flowers, standardized extracts or finished medicinal products (e.g. dronabinol) may be used. Dosage is adjusted gradually (“start low, go slow”) to ensure good tolerability.

Side Effects

Possible side effects – especially with THC-containing products – include dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth and temporary psychological reactions. Therefore, therapy is always conducted under medical supervision.
