Allergies
Regular allergy treatments aren't always enough. We provide access to prescription allergy treatments.
What is medicinal cannabis?
Medicinal cannabis products use the cannabis plant to treat physical and psychological conditions. These products contain THC or CBD.
THC has a psychoactive effect and may produce a 'high' when used. CBD does not have a psychoactive effect.
Medicinal cannabis is available in many forms including pills, oils, sprays, and the traditional flower that can be vaporised and inhaled.
What is it used for?
In Australia, the TGA has approved use of medicinal cannabis for a number of conditions including (but not limited to):
- Chronic Pain
- Depression
- Anxiety
- ADHD
- PTSD
- Migraines
- Insomnia
- Fibromyalgia

Am I eligible?
To prescribe you Medicinal cannabis a doctor needs to submit an application to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) . The main criteria is as follows:
- You have a health condition that has lasted more than 3 months.
- You've tried unsuccessfully to treat this condition via other means.
While these factors indicate you may be eligible they don't guarantee approval. For example, if you take medications that interact negatively with cannabis it may be deemed unsuitable for you.
Candor provides a free screening before your initial consultation that will help determine your eligibility.
