What the register does not record

The Austrian register records the authorisation and almost nothing a patient would ask about the product. There is no strength for any of the cannabis-extract medicines: the Stärke field is filled only for Epidyolex (100 mg/ml cannabidiol); for Sativex and for the three Vertanical extracts it is empty, so we publish no THC or CBD figure for them rather than borrow one from a package leaflet or a producer's page. The register also carries no pack sizes, no manufacturer, no country of origin, no batch and no certificate of analysis; the only company named is the marketing authorisation holder. There is no register of dronabinol magistral preparations, even though § 14 Z 3 lit b Suchtgiftverordnung expressly allows them: BASG's list of public registers contains no register of magistrale Zubereitungen, and a magistral preparation by definition has no authorisation number, so it can never appear in the Arzneispezialitätenregister. There is likewise no Austrian register of cannabis flower — flower may not be prescribed at all. Supply status is a separate register: we checked the complete Vertriebseinschränkungsregister export (927 entries on the day of checking) and none of the seven products appears in it, and none has a reported "Einstellung des In-Verkehr-Bringens". Note that the register still counts one homeopathic product, Cannabis sativa Remedia Globuli, as cannabis-derived and flags it as relevant under the Suchtgiftverordnung; we keep it because the register keeps it. No prices, indications, effects or ratings are carried here.
