Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios01:26

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

77
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Prescription, Nonprescription and Orphan Drugs

1.4K
Prescription drugs require a prescription from a medical practitioner and can only be obtained from a pharmacy. They have many applications, including treating pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
The misuse and addiction to prescription drugs is a growing problem that can affect people of all age groups, specifically teenagers. This can happen when prescription medications are used in ways not intended by the prescriber, such as taking someone else's prescription or using medication for...

Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches

460
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

1.5K
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

347
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Dosage Regimen: Individualization01:24

Dosage Regimen: Individualization

280
Individualization in dosing regimens is the customization of medication doses for individual patients. Its necessity arises from the goal of maximizing therapeutic benefits while minimizing risks. This approach is pivotal because human responses to drugs can vary widely; what is effective for one person may be inadequate or excessive for another. Interpatient (intersubject) variability refers to differences in drug responses between individuals, while intrapatient (intrasubject) variability...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Public Health
  • Substance Abuse Treatment

Background:

  • Controlled prescription drug (CPD) abuse is a significant public health issue in the U.S.
  • Many physicians lack adequate training in identifying and managing patients misusing CPDs.
  • Continuing medical education (CME) programs can address this knowledge gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a professional development program (PDP) designed to train physicians in CPD prescribing, substance abuse identification, Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
  • To assess the efficacy and impact of the PDP on physicians' knowledge and prescribing behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • Program evaluation of a 3-day PDP.
  • Pre/post-assessment of knowledge scores.
  • Follow-up survey assessing self-reported practice changes.

Main Results:

  • 174 healthcare professionals participated; 155 completed evaluations, rating the course highly (mean 4.8/5).
  • Physicians' knowledge scores significantly increased (pretest M=58.7, posttest M=78.28, P ≤ .0001).
  • 48% completed follow-up; 93% reported practice changes, with high agreement on implementing guideline changes, appropriate CPD use, and patient referrals.

Conclusions:

  • The PDP demonstrated participant satisfaction and improved prescribers' knowledge and self-reported behaviors.
  • This study is the first to evaluate such a PDP in this population.
  • Further research is needed to confirm clinical practice changes, patient outcomes, and recidivism rates.
