On this very special episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, we tackle asthma pharmacotherapy and some of the things that Beth sees in her everyday practice as an ambulatory care pharmacist.
When discussing asthma pharmacotherapy with pediatric patients and their families, it is critical to address the concern of suppressed growth with corticosteroid use. Beth shares her expertise and thoughts on this topic.
The GINA update a few years ago has been a game changer in asthma, hear from Beth how this has been implemented in her practice.
Beth also discusses some of the everyday drug interactions and adverse effects of asthma medications in this podcast episode.
Neither Beth nor I have any conflicts of interest in regard to discussing these medications.
