Medical Marijuana & Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver and, over time, can lead to inflammation, fatigue, and other debilitating symptoms. The condition and its antiviral treatments can also bring nausea, appetite loss, and chronic discomfort.

Medical marijuana is used by many patients to ease the side effects associated with hepatitis C and its therapies. Cannabinoids can help calm nausea, restore appetite, and reduce pain, helping patients stay comfortable and nourished through treatment.

Because liver health requires careful oversight, a certified physician can help determine whether medical cannabis is an appropriate part of a patient’s overall care plan.
