Living with chronic pain is an ever-growing reality for many people, both young and old. Among those suffering, many are inadequately treated with commercial pharmaceutical remedies that may be unsuitable for the individual patient’s needs including, improper dosage form and strength, the presence of irritating inactive ingredients, among much more. Although these options may help reduce pain for the average person, the adverse reactions that can be associated with these standard one-size-fits-all commercial products is becoming of increasing concern. Moreover, given the complexity and unique experience of each individual’s pain, personalized treatment options are increasingly warranted. With healthcare moving towards a more personalized approach and with advancements being made in pharmaceutical customization, these individuals can now receive medications that are tailored to their own unique needs and pain experience. Taking advantage of the numerous customization options available today including creams, gels, ointments, sprays, capsules, and others, painful conditions can be managed in a fashion oriented to the individual needs of each patient.

This activity will provide participants with the opportunity to enhance their competencies in customized analgesic pharmacotherapy through interactive discussions and case studies. Using uniquely designed patient assessment tools, participants will be asked to critically and creatively develop customized solutions that adhere to the prescription and patient-profile. This will include tasks like selecting the appropriate delivery system and inactive ingredients that are well-received and well-tolerated by a given patient. During this process, the participant will learn how to:

  • Relate drug mechanisms of action to physiological and pathophysiological pathways responsible for the elicitation of a pain response
  • How to conduct a patient needs analysis
  • Work with physicians to provide pharmacist expertise with respect to the therapeutic, concomitant adjuvant, and lifestyle and behavior modification options available to the physician.

Finally, participants will apply monitoring tools and strategies to maintain patient compliance with prescribed analgesic initiatives. Clinical case scenarios will be discussed and clinical findings recorded in a formal manner for purposes of confidential communication, record keeping, and statistical analysis.

Testimonials:


 

This was one of the best courses I have ever attended. The interaction between facilitators and participants, especially physician to physician, was excellent and really improved the value of the learning experience. The networking opportunities between colleagues was also appreciated.

Paul Gibbons
Pharmacist, British Columbia

 

It was great to come with a pharmacist from my local area – thus, when I return to my practice I have someone who is willing, able, and knowledgeable to work with me in compounding options for my patients. This program will impact my practice by expanding my options to better treat my patients with complex care needs and the potential to reduce side effect profiles.

Susan Batten
Physician, Ontario

 

The layout of the program is phenomenal! Having the first day focus on the physiology and pharmacology was a great foundation. The cases that followed were challenging but really promoted the collaboration between disciplines to generate positive outcomes. Working together on patient cases with my prescriber showed us both that having multiple viewpoints on the same case will lead to better outcomes. Talking out the case and throwing around ideas gave us both new perspectives in many areas. I will be returning to work with a greater comfort level in recommending targeted therapy for personalized medication rather than focusing on preprinted order forms.

Learning Objectives

FOR PHARMACISTS:
  1. Employ customized and personalized principles of analgesic formulation-related delivery systems.
  2. Identify and develop novel targeting approaches to physiological and pathophysiological pathways.
  3. Relate physiological and biochemical features of signal transmission and transduction.
  4. Interpret deleterious signal elicitation and subsequent excitation, inhibition, cessation, and modulation through analgesic therapy.
  5. Assess the various routes of delivery, delivery systems, dosage forms, and dispensing mechanisms used in analgesic therapy, adjunct therapy, supplementation, and specific aspects of lifestyle management.
  6. Evaluate and select therapeutic alternatives for specific classifications related to analgesic therapy. Specifically formulations that may be prescribed or used by the physician in the treatment of nociception, neuropathology, neuromas, centralization, direct and indirect consequences of vascular deprivation, neural budding, and plasticity.
  7. Review comprehensive patient assessment chart data, including prior medical history, familial history, differential diagnoses, lifestyle behaviors, signs and symptoms, laboratory test results, analgesic-related medication, and adjunct pharmacotherapeutic and supplementation treatments, to enhance patient safety.
