Micro dosing
The term 'Micro dosing' describes taking any substance in very small doses, sometimes multiple times each day. This is usually done to achieve potential therapeutic benefits without significant psychoactive effects. Micro dosing can also reduce the chance of a patient experiencing side effects.
How do patients start micro dosing with medical cannabis?
To start micro dosing, consult your prescribing specialist. They will guide you on the appropriate dosage size and frequency.
How can micro dosing benefit patients?
Micro dosing can help patients manage symptoms such as chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia (among many other health issues) with reduced risk of potential side effects like dizziness or impairment. It allows patients to find the minimal effective dose that works for their condition.
