This course includes a home study component ($225 value) that serves as a prerequisite to the live activity. To review the full activity description of the home study component click here.
Living with chronic pain is a reality for countless people, both young and old. Many of the available pain relief options come in the form of narcotics or drugs with substantial side effects. While these options may help reduce the pain, the numerous side effects can be cause for great concern. With the advancements in pharmaceutical compounding, these people can now receive medication that is customized for their own unique needs in order to provide pain relief. Utilizing a number of different compounding solution options such as creams, gels, ointments, sprays, capsules and others, painful conditions can be managed in a fashion tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
This activity will provide participants with the opportunity to enhance their competency as it relates to the many therapeutic options used in analgesic therapies including compounding solution options. Having been presented with a prescription indicating a need for a compounded medication, the participant will use uniquely designed patient assessment tools, select appropriate delivery systems for the specific analgesics and nutritional supplements prescribed, and monitor patient progress. During this process, the participant will have learned 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.
Intended audience
Pharmacists engaged in prescription analgesic compounding.

Learning Objectives
FOR PHARMACISTS:
- Employ compounding principles and techniques of analgesic formulation-related delivery systems.
- Develop a novel targeting approach to physiological and pathophysiological pathways.
- Relate physiological and biochemical features of signal transmission and transduction.
- Interpret deleterious signal elicitation and subsequent excitation, inhibition, cessation, and modulation through analgesic therapy.
- 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.
- 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.
- Evaluate 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.
