Side effects are secondary, typically undesirable, effects of a drug or medical treatment. They can range from mild to severe and may be temporary or persistent. While some side effects can be beneficial, most are considered adverse and may require management. It’s important to monitor and report any side effects experienced during treatment to ensure proper management and care.
At Curaleaf Clinic, we prioritise patient safety and support. If you experience any side effects from medical cannabis prescribed through our clinic, please report them to us immediately at [email protected] or via your Curaleaf Clinic online account under ‘Report’. We are here to support you and can make appropriate adjustments if needed.
Medical cannabis can cause a variety of side effects, including dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, and fatigue. Some patients may also experience increased anxiety or changes in mood. Report any side effects to your Specialist during your appointments, contact our team via [email protected] or let us know via your Curaleaf Clinic online account under ‘Report’.
Data from the UK Medical Cannabis Registry shows that around 1 in 5 people will report an adverse event during the time they are prescribed medical cannabis. This varies from person to person, but most people who experience side-effects find they are short lived. Factors such as genetics, age, sex, dosage, and method of consumption can influence the likelihood and severity of side effects.
Some of the most commonly reported side effects include dry mouth, dizziness, sleepiness, headaches and fatigue. Side effects can be impacted by a number of factors such as the total dose of CBD and THC, method of consumption, history of use, dosage and personal factors like genetics and age.
