The Rx drug is called Marinol. It is a synthetic form of THC which is only one of the many chemical ingredients in marijuana. It is NOT used for pain management. It is FDA approved to treat anorexia and nausea/vomiting associated with AIDS/HIV Treatments or chemotherapy treatments. Although I didn't write it myself- I have a few patients that take it, and it seems to work well for them.
