Zenivol™ is the world’s first and only clinically validated, cannabis-based pharmaceutical sleep medication.

Zenivol is the world’s first and only clinically validated, pharmaceutical-grade, cannabis-based sleep medication. Zenivol‘s clinical research achieved the highest level of scientific review when it was peer reviewed in the Journal of Sleep. It is currently available by prescription in Australia under the country’s legal cannabis regulations. 

“The formal approval of Zenivol by BfArM in Germany marks a major milestone for Zelira; Germany is one of the largest global markets for cannabinoid-based medicines, and also one of the highest quality global regulatory markets for pharmaceuticals,” says Zelira CEO Dr. Oludare Odumosu. “We look forward to working with our partner, Adjupharm, in launching Zenivol in Germany and supporting patients and physicians in treating chronic insomnia in a safe and effective manner. With formal regulatory approval for Zenivol now received in Germany, we continue to progress activities to license Zenivol® into other global markets.”
