Ministry of Public Health Argentina Received the First Delivery of CBD Oil for Epilepsy Patients

Misiones Public Health has just received the first consignment of the medical oil called MISCBD, by Misiones Cannabidiol (CBD). It is designed for the control of seizures in patients with epileptic encephalopathy for complementary treatment for said pathologies and can be used from two years of age under medical supervision. This delivery is completed after all security requirements have been met. Now it is made available to the Ministry of Health of the province, which will be in charge of free distribution with the corresponding medical prescription.

At the end of November, cannabis Sativa was harvested from the first of the five fields that the Biofactory has to develop the production of medicinal oil from cannabidiol (CBD). “With this, the field production process is being validated,” engineer Juan Serventi highlighted. As the person in charge of the Commercial Linkage of the Biofactory, he added that with this step taken, it ended up being validated in the three environments in which the cannabis sativa plantation is carried out in the Indor laboratory, greenhouse and outdoors (in the field), aiming to generate volume in oil extraction.

Meanwhile, Biofactory carried out the symbolic delivery to the Ministry of Public Health of Misiones of the first box of MISCBD 10-millimeter drippers. In this way, medical cannabis oil is made available to the public health system for free distribution in Misiones, with the corresponding medical prescription, for the treatment of refractory epilepsy. In a formal act, they highlighted that the delivery of the product involved almost 4 years of development and research.

In this way, they detailed that the Ministry of Public Health will be in charge of the distribution, while Biofactory Misiones and Misiopharma work together in the production process.

Other purposes of the CBD oil

They explained that the product made between the Biofactory and MisioPharma -MISCBD-, in addition to having a brand and packaging, will serve to complement treatments against diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, fibromyalgia, among others. “We have achieved, in a joint effort with the company MisioPharma, the production of medical cannabis oil. In this productive process, the Biofactory does primary production, produces the buds, the flowers, and dries them, to deliver the raw material to MisioPharma so that they can extract it in the laboratory,” said the president of the Biofactory, Leonardo Morzán.

Meanwhile, Herrera Ahuad, pointed out that Misiones is a vanguard province in terms of science and applied technology, now to medical sciences to treat diseases that cannot be controlled with traditional medication.

“For this reason, beyond the presentation and delivery to the ministry, today as well as several years when the decision was made in the province of the production of medicines, it is further enhanced and in this, I highlight the work of the Biofactory and MisioPharma; there is also the communion and balance of carrying out an extremely complex production process.”

“This was done with resources from the missionaries and it comes back in a product that will be beneficial; we give this initial kick in a team that has a very high potential,” he concluded.
