Nabilone
A synthetic cannabinoid approved as Cesamet in 1985 for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
Nabilone is structurally similar to THC but not identical. It carries the FDA indication for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients who have failed conventional antiemetics.
Note that Cesamet's marketing status has been listed as discontinued. Approval and commercial availability are not the same thing — check current availability with a pharmacist.
