Continuing Medical Cannabis Treatment - the Follow-Up Visit

Medical cannabis therapy is not a one-off prescription and done. It is a process run over time, with follow-up visits where the doctor checks whether the treatment works and whether anything needs changing. This makes the therapy more effective and safer.

We explain why these visits exist, how often they happen and when to book them.

Continuation is not a formality. At a follow-up visit the doctor:

It is the moment when therapy is fitted to you, not the other way round.

At the start, while the dose is being set, visits tend to be more frequent. Once therapy stabilises and works well, the intervals lengthen. The frequency is always set by the doctor individually - depending on the condition and the course of treatment.

Best in advance, before you run out of your product or the prescription expires. This avoids a break in therapy, which with some symptoms can be felt. Do not wait until the last day.

A follow-up visit is usually shorter than the first and costs 149 PLN. You book it online or by phone at 731 000 645. Continuation of treatment with us is run among others by Dr Sebastian Gorka, also in English.
