Sativex was licensed earlier this year for use in the treatment of MS. It is a oral spray which was developed using 2 key component's taken from the Cannabis plant. It has been proven to give relief to MS sufferers who experience Spasticity, in other words pain, stiffness, cramping and muscle spasm's. Has anyone on this forum with PD tried this Sativex yet, and if so did you get it on prescription via your Doctor?
