Cannabub shot works
LONDON: A British baby has become the first in the world to be given a cannabis-derived medicine as part of a new clinical trial to help infants born with a condition that can lead to brain damage.
Oscar Parodi was born by emergency caesarean on March 11 at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), which is a lack of oxygen or blood flow from the placenta to the baby.
He was transferred to intensive neonatal care and given cooling treatment as well as a single intravenous dose of the cannabis-derived drug in a bid to prevent seizures. Oscar is currently doing well
