Prescription

Prescribing Plant Based Medicine

Items produced using botanicals or plants to treat illnesses or maintain well-being are known as herbal items, botanical items, or phytomedicines. An herbal supplement is an entity created using plants and operated exclusively for internal use. Expanding number of patients and doctors are going towards plant-based medication as an additional or alternative treatment. Early evidence gives empowering indications for the viability of plant-based treatments – like clinical marijuana – for patients with conditions that traditional drugs have not been able to treat satisfactorily

Prescription of Cannabis By Doctors

Doctors are usually put in a difficult position when prescribing cannabis to their patients to alleviate chronic and longstanding health conditions. In the United States, several states have passed a law with multiple facets that set back the advancement of medical-grade cannabis as a well-established drug in medicine. The law gave marijuana users a defense to possession in some states that allowed them to possess cannabis in case of being prescribed by a doctor. The Supreme Court, however, passed a law that deemed the need for cannabis as a medical necessity, not a defense for the sale and cultivation of cannabis. In this way, the Supreme Court further promoted the belief that cannabis is not medicine.

Where Is My Prescription?

Suppose you’ve done the research, joined different forums, and addressed other patients; you go all in and book your first-ever meeting with a cannabis doctor. Surprisingly, it is a simple process similar to a regular appointment with your GP. After the discussion, you are informed that you have been prescribed medicinal cannabis. The doctor tells you the prescription is being shipped off to “a pharmacy,” and you are thrilled at the prospect of natural help to your chronic condition. As far as some might be concerned, the dispensing system is simple as the appointment. The medication seems to be gotten in almost 48 hours (or less).
For other people, indeed, the difficult work has recently started.

Evaluating and Prescribing
Medicinal Cannabis

Strong customer requests have led to medicinal cannabis being utilized on a large scale in treating various ailments or patients with poor symptoms. Medicinal cannabis prescriptions demand approval from the TGA through the Special Access Scheme (SAS), indicating the procedure is somewhat different from recommending other common medicines.

Indications and Clinical Justification

An application or a form to recommend medicinal cannabis can be submitted for any chronic condition that has remained for an extended period or longer and has not responded well to regular medical treatment or has prompted adverse side effects.
