Virtual: Pharmacy Times Continuing Education.More infoProgram DescriptionEffective management of pain is needed to minimize the debilitating effects that it can have on patients’ quality of life. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians can be key members of the pain management team and should be familiar with nonpharmacologic and over-the-counter (OTC) agents that adequately control pain while limiting adverse outcomes. Providing evidence-based treatment recommendations and individualized patient education for common pain disorders, including musculoskeletal disorders, injuries, and migraine, among others, will help to enable pharmacists to enhance patients’ health-related quality of life and may reduce direct and indirect costs associated with pain. It is important for pharmacy technicians to be aware of the various OTC options so they are better able to assist patients with questions or refer them to the pharmacist as needed. In the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic, there are new challenges and considerations for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in managing patients with acute and chronic pain conditions and in ensuring patients have access to care. Approaches for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to incorporate information and recommendations related to current and new OTC therapies including combination medications, and education about their appropriate use, will be presented.Target audience: Pharmacists, pharmacy techniciansType of activity: Application for pharmacists; Knowledge for pharmacy techniciansRelease date: October 15, 2021Expiration date: October 15, 2022Time to complete activity: 1 hour
