Drug Details
Dronabinol, also known by its brand name Marinol, is a medication primarily used to address nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy, particularly when other treatments have failed. It is also approved to stimulate appetite and manage weight loss in adults with HIV/AIDS. As a synthetic form of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the active ingredient in marijuana, dronabinol works by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the brain to alleviate nausea, improve appetite, and prevent vomiting. Available in a generic form, it is a controlled substance due to the potential risk of misuse and abuse. Common side effects may include dizziness, sleepiness, and stomach pain. Always consult your healthcare provider to ensure this medication is safe and appropriate for your condition.
