Her Medical provides consultations for patients who may wish to discuss newer or emerging treatment options that are available only under specialist or authorised prescribing frameworks.
These treatments are tightly regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and can only be prescribed by authorised medical practitioners when clinically appropriate. Access requires an individualised medical assessment, and approval is considered on a case-by-case basis through national regulatory pathways.
Our doctors can help determine whether such therapies are suitable or available for your condition and will guide you through all appropriate and evidence-based options for your care.
If you have a medical condition that has lasted more than 3 months and where standard medications have been ineffective or caused side effects then you may qualify and be eligible to be prescribed medicinal cannabis.
The guidelines to be approved for a prescription are strict and are monitored by the Special Access Scheme.
Her Medical onsite general practitioner, Dr Natasha Feingold can help and support you through the approval and eligibility process.
Medicinal cannabis is a prescription-only treatment and may not be suitable for everyone. Possible side effects can include drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, mood changes, altered concentration, or changes in appetite. Some patients may experience dry mouth, gastrointestinal discomfort, or interactions with other medications.
Patients prescribed medicinal cannabis are reviewed regularly to ensure safety, monitor response, and assess for side effects. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain psychiatric or cardiovascular conditions.
