WHAT IS MARINOL®?
MARINOL® is a unique prescription medicine that may relieve multiple symptoms. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved MARINOL® to treat nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conventional treatments.

The FDA also approved MARINOL® to treat appetite loss associated with weight loss in people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Your health care professional may prescribe MARINOL® to help stimulate your appetite so youâ??ll want to eat again.

MARINOL® is a small, easy-to-swallow soft-gelatin capsule. It is available in three strengths: 2.5, 5, and 10 mg. MARINOL® must be swallowed whole to work effectively. Do not crush or chew the capsules. Remember to take MARINOL® only as your health care professional directs.



IS MARINOL® safe?
MARINOL® has been proven to be safe and generally well tolerated. The most frequently reported side effects during clinical studies involved the nervous system and included dizziness, feelings of exaggerated happiness, paranoid reaction, drowsiness, and thinking abnormally.

Important note: Be sure that there is a responsible person nearby when you first start taking MARINOL® (or if your health care professional decides to change your dose) in case any of these side effects occur. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how MARINOL® affects you. Exercise caution when taking sedatives, hypnotics, or other mind-altering substances, or drinking alcohol while taking MARINOL®. There is a potential for additive central nervous system effects such as dizziness and drowsiness.

The effects you get from MARINOL® are determined in large part by the amount of the medication you take. These effects can vary considerably from one patient to another.
tootsie roll Reviewed by tootsie roll on . I will try 2 marinol tommorrow My friend is bringing some to take at school. Hes going to give me 2 - 5gm capsule things. He was on them today and said it took 3 for a really good trip, but his tolerance is much much higher than mine (he smokes 1+ grams of kb everyday). Does 2 sound like a good dose? Ive read that some say that 1 will barely do anything , while others have said 1 will know you off your ass. Anyone tried these before? Any advice?:rasta: Rating: 5
