Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

122
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...

Antidepressant Drugs: Overview

1.1K
Antidepressant drugs are a class of medications primarily used for treating various mood disorders, including major depression, anxiety disorders, and other related conditions. These medicines work by modulating the neurotransmitter balance within the brain, alleviating depressive symptoms. Antidepressants can be broadly categorized into several groups according to their mechanism of action and chemical structure: Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), Serotonin-Norepinephrine...

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors01:29

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Affecting Factors

102
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drug levels in a patient's blood or body tissues to manage and optimize therapy. TDM is crucial for drugs with narrow therapeutic windows, like warfarin and phenytoin, where incorrect doses can lead to treatment failure or severe side effects. This monitoring ensures the dosage administered is within a safe and effective range. The factors affecting therapeutic drug monitoring include:Patient-Specific Factors:a.

Antidepressant Drugs: MAOIs and Other Agents

629
Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...

Drug Therapy01:28

Drug Therapy

179
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Dosage Regimen: Individualization01:24

Dosage Regimen: Individualization

91
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:

  • Clinical Pharmacy
  • Digital Health
  • Continuing Medical Education

Background:

  • A mobile application channel was developed to enhance the integration of deprescribing guideline content into clinical practice.
  • This tool serves as a continuing education resource for healthcare professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reach and adoption of the deprescribing mobile app channel.
  • To gather user feedback on the educational value and clinical applicability of the content.

Main Methods:

  • Website analytics (Google Analytics) tracked promotional page views.
  • App download numbers, monthly active users, and guideline page views were calculated.
  • The Information Assessment Method (IAM) Questionnaire gathered user feedback.

Main Results:

  • The promotional webpage received 9,454 views from 40 countries.
  • The app was downloaded 3,256 times, with an average of 464 monthly active users.
  • Guideline content was accessed 14,377 times (49,721 views); 32/37 users found content relevant, and 22 reported learning or motivation.

Conclusions:

  • The mobile app demonstrates international interest as a deprescribing continuing education tool.
  • User feedback indicates the content is relevant, educational, and applicable to patient care.
  • Further improvements to the feedback mechanism are recommended to better assess learning outcomes.
