Clinigen Healthcare, a UK firm that sources and supplies named-patient unlicensed medicinal products, has acquired the distribution rights to Cesamet (nabilone), a cannabinoid drug for treating patients with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting who fail to respond adequately to conventional anti-emetic treatments.
