  • The Rapid Act Spray 40 CBD from RHO Phyto by Avicanna is a sublingual spray high in purified cannabidiol (CBD). Each 15mL bottle contains a total of 600 mg of CBD, where each spray (0.1 mL) provides 4 mg of CBD and 40 mg of CBD per mL (10 sprays per mL).
    This tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-Free* RHO Phyto Rapid Act Spray is formulated with purified cannabidiol (CBD) and is an alternative for patients who are looking for products that do not contain THC. *THC is below 0.122%


  • Rapid Act Spray is offered in a lemon-mint flavour and can be administered discreetly, is easy to use, and delivers accurate, consistent dosing. The sublingual spray is administered under the tongue to provide more direct absorption into the bloodstream by avoiding first-pass metabolism in the gut and liver. RHO Phyto’s Rapid Act Sprays are optimized for increased absorption and faster onset in comparison to basic MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) sublingual sprays.

  • Sesame oil and MCT oil: Sesame oil and MCT oil have been used as natural sources of oil carrier. Sesame oil is rich in triglycerides composed of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. linoleic, oleic) which after the action of enzymes, release those fatty acids known as sublingual penetration enhancers for several active pharmaceutical compounds. MCT oil is also susceptible to hydrolysis and release caprylic (C8) and capric acids (C10) which also have demonstrated penetration enhancer properties. Fatty acids have been shown to enhance the permeation of several drugs through epitheliums demonstrated by DSC and FTIR to be related to an increase in the fluidity of intercellular lipids.

    Peppermint essential oil / Menthol: Peppermint essential oil is essentially made of terpenes including more than 40% of menthol. Menthol has demonstrated penetration enhancer properties on the skin as well as in the buccal cavity. It is assumed that the natural terpene menthol facilitated the fraction of the drug crossing through the transcellular pathway, by enhancing the partition coefficient of some active ingredients.

    Transcutol: Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (transcutol) has shown to enhance the permeation of essential oil components of Salvia desoleana through porcine buccal mucosa from microemulsion gels. Similarly to the skin, the former acts by inserting itself into the lipid bilayers and renders them more fluid; the latter changes the solubility parameter of the lipids and acts by improving drug solubility in the more hydrophilic area on the of the epithelium.

What is a medical document?

A medical document is like a prescription for medical cannabis that a doctor (or in some provinces, nurse practitioner) issues to a patient. This document authorizes you access to purchase medical cannabis. Medical documents can be issued for a maximum period of 12 months, or shorter duration, at the discretion of your health care provider.
