EPIDIOLEX represents a prescription drug derived from CBD that provides medical treatment for rare epilepsies including LGS and Dravet syndrome through unique pharmaceutical methods.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals' EPIDIOLEX oral medication made from cannabidiol (CBD) participates in the redesign of available epilepsy syndrome therapeutics which specifically addresses Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), Dravet Syndrome (DS) and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). The U.S. together with EU and more than a dozen other countries approved this plant-based prescription CBD therapy called EPIDIOLEX.

PCIDIOLEX demonstrates a different method of operation from typical anti-epileptic drugs by avoiding CB1 and CB2 receptor influence to potentially adjust neuronal and inflammatory processes. The efficacy of this medication led healthcare providers to choose it as their therapy of choice when treating developmental and epileptic encephalopathy patients among the 287,000 affected patients worldwide in major markets.

The global sales of EPIDIOLEX achieved $972.4 million during 2024 showing a 15% increase from the previous year. The Phase 3 study conducted in Japan revealed promising seizure reduction signs but missed its main evaluation target. The new data did not introduce any safety-related issues.

Pricing factors and other therapeutic options pose obstacles to EPIDIOLEX's position as the leading CBD-based medication but its increasing acceptance among physicians continues to support its market influence. New market growth opportunities require wider insurance coverage and effective pricing plans while more evidence supports the therapeutic value of CBD.

Research developments and market expansion of EPIDIOLEX make it an influential force for redefining epilepsy therapy.
