Marinol (Dronabinol)

Marinol (Dronabinol) is a medication containing a synthetic form of THC, the active component in cannabis that produces effects like euphoria and relaxation. It is prescribed to help treat nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and to stimulate appetite in patients with conditions such as AIDS-related weight loss. Marinol works by activating specific receptors in the brain that influence nausea, appetite, and mood. It is available by prescription and administered in pill form, offering a controlled, regulated alternative to medical marijuana. Its use should be monitored by a healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
