cannabis-based medications
Cannabis-based medications are treatments derived from the cannabis plant, containing active compounds called cannabinoids, primarily THC and CBD. These medications can help manage conditions like chronic pain, epilepsy, nausea, and muscle spasms by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system to modulate pain, inflammation, and other processes. They are available in various forms, such as oils, sprays, or pills, and are prescribed under medical supervision. While they can offer relief for some patients, they may also cause side effects like drowsiness or dizziness, so careful medical guidance is important to ensure safe and effective use.
