The privately-held Dutch company faces competition from Canada’s Cannasat which is also developing a pill. In 2005, Canada became the first country in the world to approve a cannabis-based spray produced by Britain’s GW Pharmaceuticals Plc as a treatment for multiple sclerosis patients. U.S. regulators granted approval for a clinical trial for GW’s under-the-tongue spray called Sativex, but the company said in July that European regulators had requested a further clinical study before approval. Echo said it will start clinical studies and trials of its pill, to be marketed as Namisol, in the first half of 2008. Echo Pharmaceuticals Chief Executive Officer Geert Woerlee told Reuters in an interview that studies showed that cannabis-based drugs may be effective for diseases like Parkinson’s, MS and migraine and could also help patients with Alzheimer’s. The Netherlands has tolerated the sale of cannabis in coffee shops for decades and in 2003 became the world’s first country to make it available as a prescription drug in pharmacies to treat chronic pain, nausea and loss of appetite in cancer, HIV and multiple sclerosis patients. Cannabis has a long history of medicinal use. It was used as a Chinese herbal remedy around 5,000 years ago, while Britain’s Queen Victoria is said to have taken cannabis tincture for menstrual pains. "The big advantage of administering cannabis via a pill is that the drug is adopted easier by the body compared to alternatives," Woerlee said. Woerlee said bringing a drug to the market normally takes about five years but he was hoping to take the drug on faster track.
