On the occasion of the five-year anniversary of the Cannabis as Medicine Act, the company specializing in cannabis extracts and active ingredients with roots in phytopharmaceuticals draws a first positive balance. "Five years ago, Germany boldly opened up the market for the use of cannabis as a medicinal product to address the unmet need of seriously ill patients. The Ministry of Health's companion survey on the use of medicinal cannabis in this country will show that while the potential of cannabis therapy recognizable, but it is too often not sufficiently evidence-based. We are therefore focusing on investing in research and development and manufacturing corresponding products in the coming years," says Bernhard Babel, Co-CEO of Eurox Pharma.
A spirit of innovation and research are required for targeted therapy with medical cannabis. It is also crucial to develop innovative and targeted products in close cooperation with researchers, doctors and pharmacists. "As a leading company in German and European phytopharmaceuticals, we want to contribute our expertise in the development of high-quality medicines. It starts with the close exchange of experience with prescribing doctors and pharmacists. This allows us to constantly develop and improve our product portfolio," Babel continues.
The Cannabis as Medicine Act was created to ensure the supply of medical cannabis in Germany for serious illnesses. With the completion of the Companion Survey approaching, this testing phase is now over.
It is now a question of setting clear evidence standards for the use of cannabis as a medicinal product - just as with other medicinal products. Five years of the Cannabis as Medicine Act should be the reason to continue to ensure research and development for high-quality medicinal products in the cannabis sector. Eurox Pharma wants to make a contribution to this and thinks long-term and sustainably in the interests of the patients instead of focusing on short-term profits or the leisure market, which will soon be legal.
