Marinol

This page contains recent news articles, when available, and an overview of Marinol but does not offer medical advice. You should contact your physician with regard to any health issues or concerns.


Overview:

Marinol
(when available)

Pharmacology and use:
Dronabinol may has complex effects on the central nervous system (CNS), including cannabinoid receptors. Dronabinol may inhibit endorphins in the emetic center, suppress prostaglandin synthesis, and/or inhibit medullary activity through an unspecified cortical action. For the treatment of anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conventional antiemetic treatments

Mechanism Of Action:
The mechanism of action of dronabinol is not completely understood. It is thought that Cannabinoid receptors in neural tissues may mediate the effects of dronabinol and other cannabinoids. Animal studies with other cannabinoids suggest that dronabinol's antiemetic effects may be due to inhibition of the vomiting control mechanism in the medulla oblongata.
