MEDICAL MARIJUANA CAN HELP

According to the Epilepsy Foundation, epilepsy and seizures affect nearly 3 million people in America. A cure does not currently exist, so most patients will use prescription medication to prevent seizures. However, these medications often have many side effects, and may not even be fully effective in some cases. 

Many patients have used prescription cannabis along with their other prescribed medications for better relief. Additionally, those who do not tolerate traditional anti-seizure prescription medications now have another treatment option.

Recent open-label and gold-standard studies have shown a decrease in seizures in both patients using medical marijuana and other prescription anti-seizure medication and those who did not previously respond to prescription anti-seizure medication. 

In addition to controlling seizures, prescription cannabis may give patients relief from the following symptoms:

• Nausea/vomiting/GI discomfort • Anxiety • Uncontrollable body movements or muscle spasms • Headaches

The big challenge when it comes to treating seizures is one size does not fit all. Every patient is different, and every patient’s seizures are different. That’s where the marijuana doctors at Adult Health DNP can help you. They will take the time to determine the best strain to treat your individual symptoms to help you achieve the best results.
