What is Marinol?

Marinol is a medicine prescribed to adults to treat:

• A loss of appetite (anorexia) that causes weight loss, in people with AIDS (not to be confused with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa)
• Severe nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy

A loss of appetite is a common problem in people who have HIV/AIDS (it’s called HIV/AIDS-induced anorexia). This can be caused by physical issues, which include infections in your mouth, diseases that affect digestion, and problems in your brain that reduce feelings of hunger. It can also be caused by psychological problems, like stress and depression. 

Taking Marinol regularly can stimulate your appetite if you have HIV/AIDS-induced anorexia. Marinol can also be taken to reduce feelings of sickness (nausea) and being sick (vomiting) for people who receive chemotherapy when taken before and after the treatment. 

The medication comes as a capsule that you swallow. How often you take it will depend on your condition and your medical history. This will be decided upon by the doctor who prescribes it to you. 

More information on what is Marinol and Marinol dosage

Marinol active ingredients

The active ingredient in Marinol is called dronabinol. It’s a synthetic (man-made) form of a natural chemical found in cannabis (marijuana), called tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short. When you swallow a Marinol capsule, dronabinol is absorbed into your bloodstream and transported around your body. It passes through the blood-brain barrier into your brain, where it attaches to sites called cannabinoid receptors.

Dronabinol stimulates these receptors to release neurotransmitters. These are substances that affect areas of your brain that control pleasure, memory, thinking, pain perception, and various processes in your body. This can include stimulating your appetite and reducing feelings of nausea and vomiting.
