    By far one of the most informative and worthwhile podcasts for every pharmacist (and also other healthcare professionals) to give a listen to. I love the reviews of current best practices mixed with new and upcoming evidence based practices.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#130 – Dosing Consult: Amoxicillin
Q: Does it matter if the amoxicillin is given BID or TID?
Yes, it does matter, especially for high-dose amoxicillin where achieving target attainment is key, particularly for serious infections; TID might be preferred in those cases.
#130 – Dosing Consult: Amoxicillin
Q: What is your maximum dose in mind that you would give to patients that you were still using, like high dose?
Most clinicians would stay within a range of about four grams per day with a maximum single dose usually around one gram.
#130 – Dosing Consult: Amoxicillin
Q: Do you believe higher doses should be used in the pediatric population, and if so, when or for what types of infections are they going to be most beneficial?
Yes, higher doses should be used for certain infections like pneumonia and acute otitis media where pneumococcus is likely to be present, especially if their susceptibility patterns indicate a higher minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC).
#127 – What’s Pneu in Community-Acquired Pneumonia Part 2
Q: What are your thoughts on the lack of IDSA endorsement for this update?
It's a bold move which highlights the nuances in management and different approaches to patient care.
#123 – Rol del Farmacéutico en los PROA en América Latina
Q: What are some unique challenges or relevant initiatives within PROAs that respond to local epidemiology?
We face challenges such as limited governmental support for implementing antimicrobial restrictions, and a need for strengthened antimicrobial therapy programs in outpatient settings. Progress has been made regarding knowledge generation of resistance patterns in Latin America.
