What side effects does Sativex® have?
GW’s clinical trials have generated over 1000 patient-years of safety data, and adverse events have been predictable and generally well tolerated. Many side effects occur primarily during the early stages of dose adjustment, while patients are identifying their optimal individualized dose and diminish over time or with reduced dose. The most common adverse events (> 10%) reported by patients in Sativex® studies have been somnolence (sleepiness), nausea, and dizziness. These side effects are common to many other prescription medications, particularly pain medications.
