Cannabis preparations
- Question
- BV Bedrocan Cannabis is a dutch company producing cannabinol preparations in form of drugs. I would like to know your opinion concerning the treatment of CF patients with these drugs using Vaporiser (wet inhalation without burning process) or as an oral treatment. Is this treatment option available in Poland? In USA and in Europe such treatment is frequently used.
- Answer
- Dear Questioner,
There are no data about scientific studies with these preparations in CF patients. Therefore it is not proven that they will improve the health status of a CF patient. The contrary could be the case: side effects and interactions of those preparation are unknown and are not carefully reported. For that safety issues and lack of data in CF patients, one could not make a recommendation for those kind of preparations. CF treatment standards in Poland do not respect this form of therapy.
In any case it is important, that patients should mention the non-conventional therapies they want to take or take to their CF doctor and discuss with him safety and benefit issues.
