The US Health Regulators
have approved its first cannabisbased
drug, EPIDIOLEX, for two rare
forms of Epilepsy.
EPIDIOLEX is a prescription drug of
highly purified marijuana- derived
Cannabidiol (CBD) for seizures
associated with Lennox- Gastaut
Syndrome and Dravet Syndrome in
patients two years of age and older.
EPILEPSY: A BRIEF REVIEW
Epilepsy is the fourth most common
neurological disorder that affects
people of all ages. It is a chronic
disorder with unprovoked seizures.
Seizure is the abnormal discharging
of brain’s nerve cells which affects
the motor and sensory functions.

CBD : THE WONDER
MOLECULE
CBD is one of the most prevalent cannabinoids
present in the cannabis plant.
CBD shows natural protection against the action of
THC on CB1 receptors, thus helps in muting the
psychoactive effects of THC.

MODE OF ACTION
CBD downregulates the enzymes associated
with the induction of epilepsy by binding to
both the transient potential Vanilloid 1 TRPV1
and 5HT1-2A receptors, thus inhibit their
action. This inhibition reduces the overall
neuronal excitability which helps in reducing
symptoms associated with seizures.
RESEARCH-BASED STATISTICS
• CBD shows around 84% improvement of
seizures.
• It has been reported to reduce approximately
60% seizure episodes.
• CBD protects the hippocampal region in the
brain from explosive electrical firing.
• Almost 36.5% reduction has been seen in
motor seizures.
