What is EPIDIOLEX?
EPIDIOLEX is the first and only FDA-approved prescription CBD used to treat seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in patients 1 year of age and older.
Who can take EPIDIOLEX?
EPIDIOLEX can be prescribed for patients 1 year of age and older. It is not known if EPIDIOLEX is safe and effective in children under 1 year of age.
Do not take if you are allergic to cannabidiol or any of the ingredients in EPIDIOLEX.
What makes it different from other kinds of CBD?
EPIDIOLEX is the only FDA-approved prescription CBD medicine
It has a safety and efficacy profile that has been thoroughly evaluated in clinical trials. It also means that this plant-based, never synthetic, highly purified form of CBD is manufactured to meet the high standards of the FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practices and the World Health Organization's Good Agricultural Practices.
Highly purified CBD
The active ingredient in EPIDIOLEX is nearly 100% pure CBD, which means EPIDIOLEX will not make you feel "high."
Contaminant-free
Strict regulations make sure EPIDIOLEX contains no toxic heavy metals, no pesticides, and no contaminants.
Accurately labeled
Each bottle is guaranteed to be consistent from dose to dose, and to contain the exact amount and concentration of CBD listed on the label. This is important because EPIDIOLEX uses personalized dosing based on weight.
Made without sugar or carbohydrates
EPIDIOLEX is compatible with different epilepsy diets, including the keto diet.
Naturally grown
The active ingredient in EPIDIOLEX is not synthetic. It is a highly purified form of CBD medicine that is greenhouse-grown from non-GMO plants.
Rigorously tested safety
The safety profile of FDA-approved EPIDIOLEX has been studied for over 3 years. More than 55,000 families made the choice to start on EPIDIOLEX.
Why FDA approval for CBD matters
Non–FDA approved CBD products may be inaccurately labeled
There have been studies of non–FDA approved CBD products that have shown wildly inaccurate labeling. This is because they aren’t regulated in the same way as EPIDIOLEX.
In one study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), of the non–FDA approved CBD products tested:
had less CBD than claimed on the label.
contained more CBD than claimed on the label.
included detectable levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that could cause intoxication, especially among children.
