Vitality has developed a new class of cannabinoid prodrugs (cannabosides), which enable selective delivery of THC and cannabidiol (CBD) to the gastrointestinal tract. Site-specific delivery could enable potent local therapeutic effects while reducing or avoiding the systemic delivery of THC to the brain. Currently, the psychoactivity of THC limits the dose of cannabinoids that can be used for treatment of pain and inflammation. Studies have shown that the cannabinoid system is a potent mediator of pain relief and inflammation, as studies have shown that cannabinoid drugs can in some cases be far more potent than opiates for pain relief, and far more potent than aspirin or corticosteroids for providing anti-inflammatory effects. For example, cannabinoid drugs have been shown to be nearly 10 times as potent as morphine for neuropathic pain relief. Studies have also shown they can be 20 times as potent as aspirin, and twice as potent as corticosteroids for treating inflammation. But currently, the “elephant in the room” remains, which is that the desired potent effects cannot be achieved when high doses of THC enter the bloodstream and brain. Patients are forced to limit their doses, so targeted administration is critical. Our solution goes to the heart of this issue and offers an alternative means to increase the beneficial dosage, right at the site of disease – where it matters most, and relegates the psychoactive nature of the drug to a manageable side effect.
At PharmMD, we believe every patient deserves personalized attention, the best information available, and reliable guidance from medical professionals to live a healthier life. This deeply held conviction guided our founder Fred McWhorter, an old-fashioned pharmacist who devoted more than 50 years to his passion of bringing health and healing to his customers–not simply selling medicine. Recognizing the value of emerging technology, he envisioned building a real-time information bridge between pharmacists (Pharm) and physicians (MD) to significantly improve patient treatment. Following Fred’s untimely death in 2005, his brother Clayton McWhorter, a veteran healthcare pioneer, brought Fred’s dream to fruition. In 2006, Clayton teamed with entrepreneur Samuel “Bo” Bartholomew to establish PharmMD in Nashville, TN. With the arrival of successful healthcare executive Robert Yeager as CEO in 2013, PharmMD pressed to the forefront in Medicare Part D Star Ratings improvement, as well as Medication Therapy Management (MTM) programs. Today PharmMD remains a leader in quality improvement and a healthcare industry innovator, delivering fast and effective solutions to CMS-regulated health plans and employer groups. Our pioneering technology, proprietary protocols and personalized patient profiles, combined with our outcomes-driven reporting, provide a catalyst for effective medication decisions; ultimately upholding Fred’s vision for improving lives. We exist to create a healthier world through the most effective use of the right medication.
