“It's kinda like seeing Billy Joel perform live. Never disappoints.” Join Remington Honor Medalist Dan Hussar for his ever-popular perennial review of new drugs marketed in the last 12 months, packed with essential information for pharmacists about indications, adverse events, and efficacy. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the new therapeutic agents and explain their appropriate use. 
  • Identify the indications and mechanisms of action of the new drugs. 
  • Identify the most important adverse events and other risks of the new drugs. 
  • State the route of administration for each new drug and the most important considerations regarding dosage and administration. 
  • Compare the new therapeutic agents with older medications to which they are most similar in properties and/or use and identify the most important advantages and disadvantages of the new drugs.
