Why are we spending money on Reduvo again ? Please do tell.
Why are we spending money on Reduvo again ? Please do tell.Nabilone is a prescription synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonist that is used in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced vomiting as well as off-label use for chronic pain. What is nabilone good for?
Nabilone is typically used to treat severe nausea and vomiting associated with certain types of cancer chemotherapy and can be used to stimulate appetite. Nabilone is also used to treat chronic nerve related pain.
Both dronabinol and nabilone are administered orally. Dronabinol is a synthetic form of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-the psychoactive ingredient of cannabis. Nabilone is also a synthetic cannabinoid that is similar to THC but appears to be more potent.
This has been in Canada since 2006 , Teva makes it, has multiple Canadian DIN numbers for each dose and has made it for years. I have not heard of any head to head studies Reduvo verses Nabilone.He keeps saying first avaliable synthetic drug cannabinoid in Canada, is it ? Will this effect Tetras market share ? What is the truth here ? Has he done a cost to produce comparison with the competition? Maybe this is why the big pharma companies are just sitting back and not investing or interested at this point in Tetra.
I have also read that there is a drug shortage of Nabilone at present and provincial insurance plans are not granting coverage in all cases.Just because it is a prescription drug doesn't mean it is 100% covered, everyone knows how insurace companies don't like to pay money out for anything.Sounds like some of the compounds are the same, is Tetra (Gengoing to be able to produce quantity if a big company like Teva can not meet demand.
