Additive

An additive is a substance that is added to a product or medicine to enhance or preserve its properties, such as taste, appearance, texture, shelf life, or performance.

A common example of an additive is a preservative, which is used in some food products to prevent spoilage and extend the shelf life.

In medical terms, an additive is a substance added to medications, treatments, or medical products to aid in preservation, enhance effectiveness, or improve stability and usability. These must meet strict safety and quality standards.

Additives in medical cannabis products are substances that may be added during the manufacturing process to enhance or preserve its properties, such as taste, appearance, texture, shelf life, or performance.

If you want to know more about any additives in your medication or have any concerns, please contact our Patient Support Team for guidance.
