This course includes a home study component that serves as a prerequisite to the live activity. To review the full activity description of the home study component click here.
Compounding hormone therapies and formulations presents particular issues and challenges to the compounding pharmacist. This activity will provide compounding pharmacists with the opportunity to enhance their competency as it relates to the many therapeutic options used in hormone therapies. Having been presented with a prescription indicating a need for a compounded medication, the participating pharmacist will use uniquely designed patient assessment tools, select appropriate delivery systems for the specific hormones and nutritional supplements prescribed, and then monitor patient progress. Following this process the participant will have learned about the physiologic features of the hormone systems in the body, how to conduct a patient needs analysis, and then work with physicians to provide pharmacist expertise with respect to the therapeutic, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle and behavior modification options available to the physician and patient. Finally, participants will apply monitoring tools and strategies to maintain patient compliance with prescribed therapeutic 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 hormone compounding.
