1 Budding Therapies: Medical Cannabis and its Uses MARIAH CADAVOS, PHARMD & VIVIAN NGUYEN, PHARMD PGY1 PHARMACY PRACTICE RESIDENTS FEBRUARY 10,
2 Disclosures & Disclaimer Both presenters have nothing to disclose This CE will cover the FDA-approved indication and utilization of a medication. Since patients may utilize cannabis regardless of legal standing and medical support, it is important for health care professionals to be aware of appropriate uses and interactions with pharmacotherapy. 2
3 Objectives Identify potential indications for medical cannabis Describe current literature on the clinical uses of cannabis Given a patient case, demonstrate whether cannabis is clinically appropriate 3
4 Cannabis vs. Cannabinoids Cannabis = plant Cannabinoids = substances in bud/flower of the plant that causes effect Extracted or synthetic Cannabidiol (Epidiolex) Dronabinol (Marinol, Syndros) Nabilone (Cesamet) Lafaye G, et al. Dialogues Clin Neurosci
5 THC vs. CBD DELTA-9-TETRAHYDROCANNABINOL (THC) Partial agonist of endocannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 CB1: G-protein coupled receptors modulate neurotransmitter release CB2: immunosuppressive response CANNABIDIOL (CBD) Low affinity for endocannabinoid receptors Blocks human T-type voltage gated calcium channels (VGCC) Gaston TE, et al. Epilepsy Behav

Which of the following is a labeled FDA indication for a cannabinoid product? A. Anxiety B. Chronic neuropathic pain C. Chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting 6

15 Patient Case AB is a 34 year old female with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. She has been experiencing acute phase nausea and vomiting with her chemotherapy regimen. She has not tried any antiemetic medications. Would you consider cannabinoids for this patient? Same case, but patient has tried other antiemetics and nothing seems to work. Would you consider cannabinoids for this patient? 15
