Cannabis on prescription in Dortmund

Looking for a doctor for medical cannabis in Dortmund? You do not need an appointment at a local practice: you complete a medical history questionnaire digitally, and a doctor licensed in Germany then assesses your answers — for patients in Dortmund just as in the rest of Nordrhein-Westfalen.

Whether and how a treatment is medically appropriate is decided solely by the treating doctor, case by case. There is no entitlement to a particular therapy or to a prescription, and an online assessment does not replace a physical examination. The service is available to adults only.

Risks and side effects

Any drug therapy can have unwanted effects. For cannabis-based medicines, the more frequently described ones include fatigue, dizziness, dry mouth, impaired concentration and memory, and reduced fitness to drive. Where there is a predisposition, psychological side effects are also possible. The treating doctor explains these before issuing a prescription — that is part of the assessment and is not optional. For patients in Dortmund, as everywhere: if side effects occur, they belong in a conversation with your doctor, not in a dose adjustment you make yourself.

Which side effects are possible?

Do I need previous findings?

Well-substantiated information about your history considerably improves the chance of an assessment. Without a traceable history, remote assessment is often not possible.
