Glossary term
Nabiximols: Nabiximols is the generic name for the THC:CBD mouth spray marketed as Sativex.
Why this term matters
Patients may see both generic and brand names and need to know they refer to the same medicine.
UK medical cannabis context
NICE recommends a four-week trial of THC:CBD spray for certain adults with MS-related spasticity where other treatments have not worked.
What not to assume
It still has contraindications, side effects and driving implications.
Careful wording: Avoid treating nabiximols as a synonym for all cannabis medicines.
