Dosage Forms & StrengthsÂ
NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) (off-label)
According to one study, it can dramatically slow the growth of lung cancer cells that are not small cell
This was also able to modulate the RAD5 expression, a gene that is commonly seen expressed in larger amounts in lung cancer
Although it’s ability to combat cancer is still being studied, this study shows that it may be able to enhance the way NSCLC (non-small cell lung ca:

Anxiety (off-label)
Because it is present in only a few of the least anxiolytic cannabis strains and none of the most effective strains, research has indicated that this terpene may cause anxiety

Dosage Forms & StrengthsÂ
Note:
It is an investigational drug and used only for research purposeÂ
Actions and Spectrum: Â
Actions: Â
Guaiol inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines, crucial molecules in inflammation, and shows potential as an anticancer agent by slowing lung cancer cell growth and inducing apoptosis.Â
Spectrum: Â
Guaiol, a terpene, needs more research. Early studies hint at anticancer, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. It could combat parasites and hinder non-small cell lung cancer growth.Â

Pregnancy/Lactation:Â
Pregnancy consideration:  Â
No data is available regarding the administration of the drug during pregnancy. Â
Breastfeeding warnings:  Â
No data is available regarding the excretion of drug in breast milk. Â
Pregnancy category: Â
Category A: well-controlled and satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester. Â
<b>Category B: There was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women. Â
Category C: There was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.    Â
Category D: Adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.    Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.    Â
Category N: No data is available for the drug under this category. Â
Pharmacology: Â
Recent research on guaiol showed its effects on treating hypertension and skin infections due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer effects.Â
Pharmacodynamics: Â
Due to its antimicrobial qualities, guaiol is effective against both bacteria and fungus.
It possesses anti-inflammatory properties that are helpful in treating illnesses linked to inflammation.Â
Guaiol shows potential in inhibiting specific cancer cell growth.Â
Traditional medicine utilizes guaiol for respiratory conditions due to its bronchodilator effects.Â
Guaiol’s pleasant scent makes it ideal for fragrances and aromatherapy products.Â
