Customer Question

I want to use Marinol for facial tics (twitches), and the two neurologists I have consulted with are not familiar with Marinol, one stating that he has read good studies on it. Can you recommend an M.D. in D.C. area who is familiar with Marinol and can write a RX for it?

Clauduke,RPh :

I am sorry - I am not familiar with the washington area and we are not allowed to recommend physicians to patients. May I ask where you have heard about using marinol for tics?

Clauduke,RPh :

My only other suggestion would be to talk to a physician that specializes in cancer or hiv treatment as this is where marinol is used most frequently. That type of doctor would be more familiar with marinol and its other uses.
