Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2 Ep79: Alzheimer Updates, Stroke Breakthroughs, and the Case for Early Treatment
Q: What are the practical considerations when starting Auvelity for Alzheimer's agitation?
Auvelity offers a new mechanism via dextromethorphan with bupropion to sustain levels, but clinicians must assess interactions with antidepressants and other CNS agents, monitor for dizziness or headaches, consider renal function, and balance benefits against ARIA and cardiovascular risks, all while continuing non-pharmacologic strategies.
S2 Ep72: APhA Preview - Dr. JAM Highlights Strategies for RSV Prevention in Adults
Q: What strategies help overcome vaccine hesitancy specific to RSV?
Lead with factual, honest information, build long-term trusted relationships, and use a personalized approach that respects patient autonomy; reassess hesitancy over time and re-engage patients with clear explanations of how vaccines work and who benefits most.
S2 Ep72: APhA Preview - Dr. JAM Highlights Strategies for RSV Prevention in Adults
Q: How can pharmacists address barriers to RSV vaccination in the community?
By leveraging community partnerships, improving health literacy, and providing culturally informed care, pharmacists can raise awareness of RSV risk, clarify vaccine availability, and build trust through transparent, evidence-based conversations.
S2 Ep72: APhA Preview - Dr. JAM Highlights Strategies for RSV Prevention in Adults
Q: What do pharmacists need to understand about the adult RSV burden?
Pharmacists should recognize that RSV affects adults over 60 and is not just a pediatric issue; they must understand the aging population, immunosenescence, and that many older adults have chronic conditions that increase RSV risk. This knowledge informs targeted education and vaccine conversations.
S2 Ep68: From Underdiagnosed to Under Control: Plozasiran and Pharmacists’ Role in FCS
Q: What role can pharmacists play in identifying patients who may have undiagnosed or misdiagnosed FCS and ensuring timely referral to specialized lipid centers?
Pharmacists can help identify patients by reviewing their lipid therapy, recognizing signs of poorly controlled triglycerides, and facilitating referrals to specialists if new therapies are needed.
