Berlin, 28th September 2021. Cannovum AG is expanding its wholesale permission through its subsidiary, Cannovum Health eG.

Cannovum's scientific sales force has undergone intensive training with medical professionals, including for the new THC active ingredients, to assist physicians and pharmacists with individual cannabis-based therapies.
"We want to improve patient care and that’s why we decided to add active substances to our portfolio.Active ingredients are the core element of every medication and indispensable in the effective therapy of patients. We want to give physicians the opportunity to find an effective individual treatment for each of their patients, because every patient deserves the best therapy," says Pia Marten, CEO of Cannovum AG.
