“Integro Medical Clinics always recommend remaining under the care and treatment of your GP and specialist for your condition, while using cannabis medicines, and the Integro clinical team would always prefer to work in collaboration with them”. 

“Cannabis medicines prescriptions are fully legal, and compliant with UK regulations. Cannabis medicines are for controlled medicines, and so monthly prescriptions are needed.

They are unlicensed by the MHRA, but have a good safety record, and there is good evidence to support their safe use.”    Dr Anthony Ordman, Senior Clinical Adviser and Hon. Clinical Director Integro Clinics
