Adjunctive Therapy With Medical Marijuana

Dr. Samantha Taghva, Internal Medicine Physician with Baptist Health South Florida, says medical marijuana is an adjunctive therapy that physicians can use to try to help patients out. There are over-the-counter-medications called NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), such as acetaminophen or anti-inflammatory, that can be used as well and come with side effects. However, if people use incorrect doses with these medications, they can suffer from health problems.
