It is used for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Dravet syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in patients one year of age and older.

What doses of Epidiolex are available?

Epidiolex is available as an oral solution, in the following doses: 100 mg/mL.

Withdrawal of antiepileptic drugs such as Epidiolex should be gradual to reduce the risk of seizures and status epilepticus.

Please see the full prescribing information and always speak with a healthcare professional for medical advice about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Epidiolex active ingredients

Epidiolex contains cannabidiol (CBD), which belongs to a class of drugs known as cannabinoids. CBD is a component of the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as marijuana. CBD does not cause the “high” that comes from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has removed cannabidiol from Schedule V of the Controlled Substances Act. Epidiolex is no longer classed as a controlled substance.

Epidiolex side effects

The most common side effects of Epidiolex in clinical trials compared to placebo include:

• Loss of appetite
• Diarrhea, vomiting
• Fatigue, malaise
• Asthenia
• Rash
• Problems sleeping

In rare instances, Epidiolex can cause more serious side effects. These can include:

• Hepatocellular injury – valproate and higher doses of Epidiolex increase the risk of an increase in liver enzymes such as transaminase
• Somnolence (daytime sleepiness) and sedation
• Suicidal thoughts and behavior
• Hypersensitivity reactions

Your caregiver will assess the benefits of using Epidiolex against your risk of side effects. Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects or adverse reactions of Epidiolex to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
