Opinions Needed: Sativex and the Medicinal Use of Cannabis

Earlier in the year MS Ireland wrote to the Minister for Health and Children Dr James Reilly regarding the licensing of Sativex, a cannabis based drug to treat spasticity for people with MS.

The oral spray is available in the UK and other countries but not in Ireland. The department is now considering the matter and we will be making a representation to them on behalf of our members and clients.

We would love to hear the comments, views and experiences of the MS community so please email us, confidentially, on accesstreatments@ms-society.ie. No personal information will disseminated.
