Daily life
Injuries, recovery time and effects on everyday safety.
Current care
Your neurologist’s plan, medicines and any missed doses.

The practitioner considers the evidence, your risks and other treatment options.

Epilepsy and medical cannabis: FAQs
What seizure information should I prepare?
Prepare seizure type, frequency, last seizure date, triggers, emergency visits, neurologist notes, EEG or imaging history, and current anti-seizure medicines.
Can I stop anti-seizure medication if I use cannabis?
No. Do not stop or change anti-seizure medication without your neurologist or prescriber. Sudden changes can be dangerous.
Is CBD the same as dispensary cannabis flower?
No. CBD products, THC-containing flower, and prescription formulations differ. The clinician must review what is clinically appropriate and legally documented.
Which epilepsy cases need specialist care first?
New seizures, worsening seizures, pregnancy, recent head injury, prolonged seizures, or repeated seizures require urgent medical or neurologist care.
How does PT33 work for epilepsy review?
If approved, PT33 records the clinician-reviewed indication and use limits. Epilepsy care should stay coordinated with your usual medical team.
What does the consultation fee cover?
Consultations start at ฿500 for the practitioner’s assessment and advice. The fee does not guarantee a prescription; the final price depends on the service you choose.
