Muscle spasms and medical cannabis: FAQs
What muscle spasm details should I prepare?
Share spasm location, frequency, triggers, pain level, mobility impact, MS or spinal history, injury history, and current rehabilitation plan.
Should I mention baclofen or other muscle relaxants?
Yes. Baclofen, benzodiazepines, gabapentin, opioids, sleep aids, alcohol, and sedatives can increase drowsiness or interaction risk.
Can cannabis replace physiotherapy or neurological care?
No. The review considers symptom support only. Continue physiotherapy, neurology care, or prescribed spasticity treatment unless your clinician changes it.
Which spasm symptoms need urgent assessment?
New weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, new numbness, fever, severe injury, or rapidly worsening spasms need urgent medical care.
How does PT33 apply to muscle spasm support?
If approved, PT33 documents the reviewed indication, quantity, and duration for licensed dispensary handling in Thailand.
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.
