Some info on the effectiveness of Sativex (I think it's only available in Canada at the moment).

Some trial results for an oral drug - Laquimod

The results are to be presented during the ACTRIMS / ECTRIMS conference which takes place in the latter half of this week. No doubt other trial results will be presented - results for Tovaxin and NeuroVax are being presented.

 Post subject: Drug for control over emotions
PostPosted: Sat Sep 24, 2005 1:46 am
