Pharmacological aspects of cannabinoids
https://doi.org/10.21886/2712-8156-2023-4-3-27-35
Abstract
This review presents recently available information on the properties of endogenous and exogenous cannabinoids, their possible mechanisms of action and effects. The article reflects foreign experience in the use of cannabinoid preparations for the recommended indications, as well as possible promising effects for the expansion of their clinical use.
