Register for A Pill for Every Ill!
Barb will provide a unique overview of "all things pharm" taught in a fascinating and informative way. This lecture is not your usual "run-of-the-mill" pharmacology update.
What it's NOT: List after list after list of drugs
What it IS: A potpourri of pharm topics for all fields of nursing.
How do we choose the "best route of administration" for various drugs? Is there a "better" statin or are they all the same? Is there a "best" SSRI for depression or all they all the same? Are all hypertensive drugs the same when it comes to preventing strokes? The "glutides" for Type 2 diabetes are terrific — is there one that is a game changer when it comes to weight loss? (HINT: yes.) The SGLT2 inhibitors are the latest "game changers" for heart failure! Who are they and what do you need to know about them? What are the upsides and downsides of PPIs? If you don't know about the wide range of monoclonal antibodies (MABs) used from preventing viral infections to improving the diagnosis of breast cancer to changing the lives of patients with autoimmune diseases then come hear Barb's banter on the MABs. What new drugs are used for autoimmune diseases? Are we really using a drug that was formerly used to prevent the growth of mold in sofas? (HINT: yes.) What do we now know about the pathophysiology of migraine headaches that has subsequently IMPROVED the prevention and treatment of acute migraines? Why do we use an ED drug for pulmonary arterial hypertension? Is it prime time for psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and major depressive disorder? How about ketamine and treatment-resistant depression?
Barb is coming back to LLCC, so join her on Oct. 4, 2022, for an entire day of pharm FUN!
