CBDistillery is introducing its Microdose Synergy+ THC & CBD line, which includes tincture and soft gel products.

THC offers many health and wellness benefits, especially when combined with CBD. Microdosing, at its base level, is “taking a small enough dose of a potentially intoxicating substance to experience its benefits without the feeling of intoxication,” CBDistillery said.

Each serving of Microdose Synergy+ features 1 mg of THC and 30 mg of CBD that "work in harmony, a phenomenon we know as the Entourage Effect  to nourish and support your mind and body for optimal health and wellness,” the company said.

In response to a Matrix Global Advisors report, titled, "Near-Term Expectations for Adalimumab biosimilars in the United States," authored by Alex Brill and Christy Robinson, the Association for Accessible Medicines' Biosimilars Council division has issued the following statement from its executive director, Craig Burton: 

“This new report from Matrix Global Advisors illustrates the complexities of the burgeoning adalimumab biosimilar market. While biosimilars bring much needed competition and reduce overall costs, perverse rebate practices and other market factors will unnecessarily slow patient access and savings from FDA-approved biosimilars. Policymakers should ensure that patients have access to and benefit from lower-priced biosimilars.”
