Drug Interaction Screening - What Pharmacists and Prescribers Do
Description
Learning Objectives:
Describe differences in standard drug-drug interaction compendia. Identify several clinically significant drug-drug interactions. Identify factors associated with the prevalence of drug-drug interactions. List common methods to categorize the severity of drug-drug interactions. Discuss the problems that can occur when drug interaction screening prompts are ignored or inadequately managed. Evaluate the opportunities and barriers for developing an approach to drug interaction screening that protects patients and is manageable in real life settings.
