Updates in Drug-Drug Interactions for Recently Approved Drugs

The goal of this course series is to provide pharmacists with an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of drug interactions, providing the basis for scientifically justified and clinically sound decisions to prevent or minimize drug interactions.

In this 5-session course, we will explore clinically significant pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs) observed with recently FDA approved drug therapies. The possible mechanisms (e.g., inhibition or induction of metabolizing enzymes and/or transporters, changes in drug absorption, pharmacogenetics, organ impairment) will be reviewed and potential clinical outcomes explained. Mitigation strategies to prevent or minimize the risk of DDIs will be discussed.
