Sativex
Sativex is a medication containing natural compounds called cannabinoids, derived from the cannabis plant. It is used to help manage symptoms like muscle spasticity and pain in conditions such as multiple sclerosis. Sativex is administered as a spray that you spray into your mouth, allowing the active ingredients to be quickly absorbed into your bloodstream. It works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system to reduce nerve and muscle discomfort. Typically, doctors prescribe it when other treatments are not effective, and it’s generally well-tolerated with manageable side effects.
