Sativex - Basic Information http://www.budbuddies.com/sativex_info.htm

What is Sativex?
Sativex is an oral spray containing a cannabis extract produced by GW Pharmaceuticals. You take it by spraying it under your tongue or to the inside of your cheeks. You can control the dose of Sativex you take by varying the number of sprays.
What symptoms will Sativex help with?
Sativex has been made available for relief of symptoms associated with MS. It has not been specified for any particular symptom. Information from GW Pharmaceuticals says clinical trials conducted in people with MS have shown promising results in the relief of spasticity, nerve pain, sleep disturbance, and bladder symptoms.
How can I get a prescription for Sativex?
Sativex is an unlicensed medicine, the decision whether to prescribe it is entirely at the discretion of the prescribing physician as it is also directly their responsibility. If your doctor decides that Sativex is appropriate for you and wishes to prescribe it, they should write on the prescription the medical condition for which it is being prescribed eg MS, neuropathic pain caused by . The reason for this is that as Sativex is an unlicensed medicine GW Pharmaceuticals have to approve each prescription and have been asked to keep a patient registry of what the drug is being used for.
I have MS. Does this mean I am automatically entitled to get Sativex from my GP?
Your GP will take into account your particular circumstances and other factors and will make a decision based on your own case. There may be reasons that Sativex does not suit you. In clinical trials, Sativex has been used in people who have not gained adequate relief from their existing treatment. While a large proportion of people with MS are helped further during treatment with Sativex, some people may not improve at all.
Why might my GP refuse to prescribe Sativex?
Sativex is not suitable for everyone. It is also not recommended for some groups of people. For example, pregnant women, the under 18 year old age group, and those with a history of a psychotic disorder would not be eligible.
Can I get a second opinion if my GP refuses to prescribe it?
As with any treatment decision, you are entitled to a second opinion.
What are the side effects? How will it react to the other drugs I take?
GW Pharmaceuticals has prepared detailed advice to GPs on warnings and precautions related to the use of Sativex. You should discuss this with your GP.
Can I drive while taking Sativex?
You are warned not to drive or do anything that needs unimpaired judgement and coordination after taking Sativex.
Will I need to pay for Sativex?
The cost of Sativex is estimated to be around 4-5 a day for a typical user. However, because Sativex is used according to each person's response, some people will use more, and some use less than the typical amount. Whether you have to pay for this will depend on local NHS arrangements and your GP or pharmacist can advise you further. This is in addition to standard prescription charges.
