Cannabis prescription
Medical cannabis is a supportive treatment option used for selected neurological conditions. It can help reduce chronic pain, improve sleep, ease muscle tension and support overall quality of life in patients who do not respond sufficiently to standard therapy.
Medical cannabis is prescribed exclusively by physicians with appropriate certification and experience in this field.
What medical cannabis contains
Medical cannabis contains a wide range of biologically active substances. The most important are:
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) — psychoactive component with analgesic, anti‑spastic and anti‑nausea effects
CBD (cannabidiol) — non‑psychoactive component with anti‑inflammatory, anxiolytic and neuroprotective properties
Terpenes and flavonoids — substances that influence aroma, effect profile and therapeutic synergy

⭐ Forms of medical cannabis
Medical cannabis can be prescribed in several forms:

⭐ How treatment works
Treatment begins with a consultation, during which the neurologist:

explains the expected effects and limitations
determines whether medical cannabis is appropriate
If indicated, a personalised treatment plan is created and the prescription is entered into the electronic system.
