Multiple sclerosis is a central nervous system disease that affects millions worldwide. Although most individuals do not become severely disabled, more than half experience spasticity.
Of the estimated 400,000 people in the United States and 2.5 million worldwide with multiple sclerosis, over half suffer from spasticity
Spasticity refers to an abnormal, involuntary tightness of muscles which increases when the muscle are rapidly stretched, so that the associated joint appears to resist being moved.
As a result of the increased muscle tone due to spasticity ‘simple’ movements become difficult or impossible altogether. This restriction in movement can lead to difficulties with walking, dressing, and carrying out personal hygiene. In addition, painful muscle spasms can lead to difficulty with sleeping, sitting in a chair or lying on a bed. Occasionally spasms may be triggered by fairly minor irritations such as tight clothing, a full bladder or bowel, urinary tract infection or skin irritation, such as from a pressure sore.

A full marketing authorization has been granted by the Swissmedic authorities in the treatment of moderate to severe spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis patients who have not responded adequately to other anti-spasticity medications.
Launch timing is dependent on completion of pricing and reimbursement procedures. Sativex will be commercialized in Switzerland by GWPH 's European partner, Almirall S.A.
