In October 2018 our achievements were recognized by TIME magazine which named GW as one of the 'Top 50 Genius companies of 2018 that are inventing the future'. Having developed the world's first prescription medicine derived from the cannabis plant, Sativex, which treats spasticity due to multiple sclerosis,GW has now developed an oral formulation of purified cannabidiol (CBD), (approved as Epidyolex in Europe) for use as adjunctive therapy of seizures associated with Lennox Gastaut syndrome (LGS) or Dravet syndrome (DS), in conjunction with clobazam, for patients 2 years of age and older. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet Syndrome are two rare and severe early-onset, drug-resistant epilepsy syndromes. CBD is approved in the US as Epidiolex.
