PRODUCTS
TOPICAL OINTMENT FOR SKIN DISEASES
Whilst potentially suitable for multiple skin conditions, the initial indication for OWC’s topical ointment is for Psoriasis. In pre-clinical studies, our cannabinoid-based topical ointment demonstrated up to a 70 percent reduction in Psoriasis-related biomarkers, including keratinocyte proliferation and inflammatory cytokine expression.
NASAL SPRAY
OWC is developing a new generation, nano-particular, nasal spray – a new mode of delivery that will offer a more efficient treatment for diverse Central Nervous System related syndromes. This innovative nasal spray is designed to enable the absorption of the pharmaceutical active directly to the CNS through the olfactory system and thus provide passage across the blood-brain barrier, without passage through the circulatory system.
SUBLINGUAL DISINTEGRATING TABLET
OWC has developed a cannabinoid-enriched sublingual disintegrating tablet that will offer an alternative to smoking and inhalation, allowing for controlled, consistent dosing and diligent compliance to medical regimens. It will potentially offer quick pain and other symptomatic relief, as sublingual absorption provides a direct route for cannabis to enter more rapidly into the blood system through the oral mucosal tissue.
Research and Development
Headquartered in Israel, OWC R&D is focused on discovering, developing and commercializing cannabis-based novel products and therapies, specifically designed for treating specific medical conditions and alleviating certain disease-associated symptoms. Development
OWC leverages its extensive network, comprising some of Israel’s leading researchers, scientists, academic and medical centers in Israel, as well as cannabis breeders and extractors, to unlock the potential of cannabis for diverse therapeutic applications. OWC research is dedicated to provide patients with the assurance that they are using products that are clinically tested, safe to use, and efficient.
