What is Dronabinol and what is it used for?
Dronabinol is a prescription cannabinoid medication. It has two main FDA-approved uses: to treat anorexia and weight loss associated with HIV/AIDS, and to manage nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy in cancer patients, typically after other anti-nausea drugs have proven ineffective. Its active ingredient is a synthetic form of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which acts on brain centers that control appetite and nausea. Dronabinol is taken orally as a capsule. A crucial safety note: this medication contains sesame oil, so it should not be used by individuals with a sesame allergy, nor by those allergic to dronabinol itself.
