"It has been found that the market for effective acute pain management in the form of combined therapies outside of the hospital setting exceeds more than 200 million prescriptions yearly. While products such as opioid analgesic combinations make up the bulk of the market, the products have significant side-effects, including sedations, dizziness, respiratory problems, substance abuse, euphoria, vomiting, and nausea. Hence, there is a vast market for combined therapies that are able to manage acute pain without producing the negative and uncomfortable side effects.

"Cannabis pharma company India Globalization Capital (IGC) has carved an impressive course in the combination therapy market as a 'first mover' to combine existing drugs with cannabis. IGC recently filed a patent for a formulation that the company claims will reduce the side effects of single drugs by combining them with a cannabinoid. In particular, IGC has filed for a provisional patent for the treatment of several eating disorders that uses a combination of compounds and cannabis extracts. The combo therapy is ear-marked for both veterinary and human consumption."
