A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11911361B2) discloses a method for treating Prader-Willi syndrome using an oral pharmaceutical formulation. The formulation includes cannabidiol, caprylic/capric triglyceride, alpha tocopherol, a sweetener, and a flavoring agent. The method aims to address symptoms of Prader-Willi syndrome, particularly hyperphagia, in pediatric subjects. The dosage of cannabidiol is specified at about 40 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, with the cannabidiol being of high purity, greater than 98%, and potentially synthetic.

The patent outlines specific compositions of the oral pharmaceutical formulation, ranging from 8% to 32% w/w of cannabidiol, along with varying concentrations of caprylic/capric triglyceride, alpha tocopherol, sweetener, and flavoring agent. The formulations provide flexibility in the percentage composition of the key ingredients, allowing for customization based on individual needs and responses. By targeting hyperphagia, a common symptom of Prader-Willi syndrome characterized by excessive hunger, the method offers a potential treatment option for pediatric patients. The patent's detailed specifications provide a clear framework for administering the formulation effectively, highlighting the importance of precise dosages and ingredient purity in treating the syndrome.
