About webinar

Oral cannabinoid therapies offer convenient administration, but differences in formulation, absorption and metabolism can substantially influence systemic exposure and clinical response. This webinar examines the pharmacokinetics of oral THC and CBD, including bioavailability, first-pass metabolism, food effects and interindividual variability. Participants will explore conventional oil-based and emerging self-emulsifying delivery technologies, critically interpret published pharmacokinetic evidence and consider its implications for formulation selection, dosing and patient monitoring.

Learning Outcomes

Explain how oral cannabinoid formulation characteristics, gastrointestinal absorption and first-pass metabolism influence bioavailability and systemic exposure.
Interpret key pharmacokinetic parameters, including AUC, Cmax and Tmax, and their relevance to oral THC and CBD therapy.
Compare conventional oil-based and self-emulsifying cannabinoid delivery technologies using published pharmacokinetic evidence, including their benefits and limitations.
Evaluate the clinical implications of formulation-dependent absorption, food effects and exposure variability when selecting, changing and monitoring oral cannabinoid therapies.
