Marinol use?

[aimeee, BSN, RN]

Has anybody had any patients on Marinol before? I encountered it for the first time last week. Just went looking for some info about it and the first website I find is this one:

http://www.pdxnorml.org/HT_Marinol_0794.html

Not an unbiased report, but it certainly raises a lot of questions and concerns. Anyway, I thought it was interesting in light of the recent poll about medical Marijuana use here.

When I was an Oncology Nurse, I used it for an appetitie stimulant (for my patients.. lol). It was very affective.

Used it a few times...seemed to work great.

gave it to a few patiens, made some loopy, they didnt' like it and refused it, some did, made some nauseous, go figure.

Thanks for the input, folks. Interesting.
