Activity Date: 04/23/2018
This course is designed for pharmacists, nurse practitioners or other healthcare professionals involved in the comprehensive medication management of psychiatric and/or neurological patients.
Declining use of agents that have proven efficacy in the treatment of mood disorders, including monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and lithium, warrant further consideration of these options in treatment decisions. The lack of use of these medications may be attributed to misconceptions or a lack of understanding regarding the true risk of adverse effects including, renal failure with lithium, and serotonin syndrome or hypertensive crisis with MAOIs, as well as underestimates of the strong supporting data for efficacy. The focus of this presentation will be on practical considerations for safe utilization of these medications in practice with an emphasis on the current data of true risks.
