CBD injections to help epilepsy, pain relief.
Research has shown the potential of cannabis in treating epilepsy by inhibiting neurotransmitters in the brain. However, the process of turning plant components into pharmaceuticals can be lengthy. One company, Innocan, is working on pain relief and epilepsy treatment using a CBD formulation combined with lipids for extended release in the body.
A recent animal study revealed that their CBD-based injection could remain in the blood for weeks, reaching the brain and potentially providing relief for an extended period. The technology, named LPT, allows CBD to pass through the blood-brain barrier efficiently.
Studies have shown positive effects of CBD on various neurological conditions, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, and stroke. By delivering CBD to the brain in a sustained manner, there is potential for treating a wide range of neurological disorders.
Physicians recommend combining CBD with a small amount of THC for maximum efficacy, although THC’s legality varies. By offering a more effective drug delivery mechanism, Innocan’s approach could revolutionize CBD therapy.
For dosing patients, traditional CBD oil drops may not be as effective as they are quickly digested, leading to less absorption into the bloodstream. Innocan’s method offers a more reliable dosing mechanism for various CBD therapies.
