Why this term matters

Many patients will read the descriptive term before they see the brand or generic name.

UK medical cannabis context

NICE recommends a defined four-week trial with continuation only if symptoms improve enough.

What not to assume

Access is condition-specific and response must be assessed.

Careful wording: Avoid presenting it as a general cannabis spray for broad symptoms.
