I’ll be there! Let me know where their posters are, I’d love to check them out. 😁

I was gonna say that too, but but I ran out of room! 😁 Many of our patients are on metformin ER 500 mg 2 tabs BID because insurance won’t cover the 1000 mg tabs.

Medication only works if it actually makes it into your body. I’ve had patients tell me they were allergic to metformin and couldn’t take it because it gave them diarrhea. #PatientEducation #Diabetes

Taking it daily increases your body’s production of hepcidin, which blocks iron absorption. So ever other day dosing gives you the most effectiveness (and fewer GI side effects as an added bonus)

Taking it daily is fine, it’s just that you get more bang for your buck with every other day. 😊

So technically rifamycins (like rifampin) are proven to affect OCs, but anecdotally, there are case reports (and a couple of friend instances) of OC failure with ABX. In the current political climate, I’d want to be extra careful just in case 😬

Great question! Right now it depends on what state you’re in. We can bill incident to in some places, and can act as an agent for MD billing for annual wellness, transition of care, and chronic care management. If only we could get CMS on board…

Just my opinion, but if you included a clinical pharmacist to manage chronic medication management (and deal with pharmacy communication and patient med access), it would be a step in the right direction. We’re qualified and ready to help.

Me! I’ll be presenting on the new Afib guidelines.

Absolutely! These are all things I get tasked with, so it’s great that other prescribers will see this. But I’d love to connect these authors with some independent pharmacy owners to talk about what all they can offer.
