Product details

1. Why is this medicine used?

MOCA Flamingo is a high-potency THC oil containing 25 mg THC per mL in a 30 mL bottle (total 750 mg THC).

It may be prescribed under medical supervision for symptoms or conditions such as:

Severe or refractory pain
Spasticity or muscle rigidity in neurological disease
Nausea or vomiting (e.g. chemotherapy-induced)
Appetite stimulation
Palliative care symptom control
Other off-label uses as deemed appropriate by a specialist

Because this product contains negligible CBD, its profile of effects is more strongly associated with THC.

You are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding
You have a history of psychotic disorders, schizophrenia, or severe psychiatric illness

Elderly patients (slower metabolism, increased sensitivity)

3. What if I take other medicines?

Cannabis products may interact with many drugs (especially via cytochrome P450 enzymes). Interactions may increase side effects or change efficacy.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using:

Sedatives / hypnotics / CNS depressants (e.g. benzodiazepines, opioids)
Antidepressants, antipsychotics, mood stabilisers
Anti-seizure medications
Anticoagulants / anti-platelet drugs

Immunosuppressants
Diabetes treatments
Over-the-counter medicines, herbal remedies, supplements

Avoid combining with alcohol or other depressant substances.

4. How do I use it?

Dosage / Titration

Your doctor will prescribe a starting dose and a titration schedule.
Begin with a low dose and increase gradually, monitoring for efficacy vs adverse effects.
Because this is a potent THC oil, close supervision is essential.

Administration

Use the supplied dropper to administer orally (commonly sublingual or as instructed).
Hold under the tongue for a recommended time (e.g. 30–60 seconds) before swallowing, if that is the chosen route.
Take at consistent times as prescribed.

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember—unless it is close to your next dose.
