Cannabis is a drug made from the cannabis plant, Cannabis Sativa, which acts on the central nervous system, helping to treat psychiatric or neurodegenerative diseases, such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy or anxiety, for example.
This remedy, as it is made from selected plant substances, presents no risk of causing addiction, addiction or creating psychological changes such as natural marijuana and therefore can be used safely during treatments.
Indications
Canabidiol is a medicine used to treat diseases such as epilepsy, schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease or autism, or with problems such as neuropathic pain, anxiety, insomnia or seizures.
Where to buy
Cannabidiol medicines can not be bought in conventional pharmacies because there are no medicines with this substance produced in Brazil and studied by Anvisa.
Therefore, whenever it is necessary to use this type of medication, a specific form must be requested from Anvisa for the importation and use of the medicine, upon presentation of the prescription, medical report and declaration of responsibility signed by the doctor and patient.
Some names of this drug in the US are Hemp CBD oil and Hemp CBD complex, from Endoca Laboratories, EVR and Mary's Nutritionals, for example.
How to take
Canabidiol should be taken according to medical advice because the recommended doses and the duration of treatment depend on the disease being treated and the patient's response to treatment.
Side effects
The side effects of Canabidiol are mild and may cause symptoms such as dizziness and drowsiness. Although cannabidiol is a medicine made from marijuana, because it is an extract taken from the leaves of this plant, it does not cause addiction, dependence or psychosis.
Contraindications
This type of medicine is contraindicated for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
In addition, patients who may be allergic to any of the ingredients of the formula should not take this medicine.
