Abstract: Safety data from the Medwatch system on all drug products from around the world can be used in pharmacovigilance to detect signals through the statistical noise. Analysis of top drug adverse event reactions from this data can be used to retrospectively assess safety in real-time [1,2]. For medical marijuana, also known as dronabinol, this can be used to assure healthcare providers of its low adverse event profile.
