This episode highlights using celebrities and local advocates to promote public health initiatives and raise awareness of health topics. Experts shared examples of how Oprah Winfrey and the Ice Bucket Challenge raised awareness of issues like racial health disparities and ALS, respectively. Ensuring authentic connections between celebrities and health issues as well as coordination among stakeholders were highlighted as important factors for effective celebrity endorsements. The role of pharmacists in public health advocacy and screening efforts was also discussed. Experts Include: Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP, the Public Health Pharmacist; Alfred L'Altrelli, PharmD, CFMC, MBA, the senior director of pharmacy at UPMC Presbyterian-Shadyside; Andrew Mcnab, MD, professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia; Troy Trygstad, PharmD, PhD, MBA, the executive director of CPESN USA; and Sean Young, PhD, executive director of the University of California Institute for Prediction Technology Key Takeaways 1. Celebrities can raise awareness of important public health issues through documentaries, music videos, and viral campaigns. 2. Leveraging local trusted figures like community leaders and healthcare providers may be more effective than pop culture celebrities for spreading health messages.   3. Involving patients and those with lived experiences can provide an authentic and relatable voice to promote issues. 4. Ensuring coordination between advocates, health care professionals, and stakeholders helps campaigns feel collaborative. 5. Authenticity and personal connection to the health issue are important for effective celebrity endorsements. 6. Pharmacists are well-positioned community members who could further support public health screening and education efforts. References 1.

Editor's Note: This was recorded prior to Wegovy being approved for cardiovascular disease. View the story here. This podcast episode discussed the impact of celebrity endorsements on trends in weight loss drugs like Ozempic, body image issues, and the role of pharmacists in educating patients on appropriate use of GLP-1 medications for weight management and chronic diseases. Experts Include:  Patricia Mars, MD, owner and medical director of Venus By Mars Cosmetic Surgery and La Paloma Surgery Center; Donna H. Ryan, MD, Professor Emerita at Pennington Biomedical Research Center; and Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP, the Public Health Pharmacist. Key Takeaways 1. Celebrities have long shaped cultural ideals around aesthetics and beauty through their own appearance trends. 2. Social media promotion of weight loss journeys using GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic by influencers increased public interest, but also risked unsafe practices without medical oversight. 3. While celebrity disclosure of personal experiences can boost awareness of obesity as a medical condition, it's important for endorsements to encourage safe and supervised use of pharmaceutical therapies. 4. Compounded versions of medications like semaglutide lack proper quality control and approval, posing potential dangers. 5. Pharmacists play a key role in educating patients on appropriate and regulated use of emerging weight loss therapies. References 1. Han SH, Safeek R, Ockerman K, et al.

The podcast discussed the impact and effectiveness of celebrity endorsements in the pharmaceutical industry. It covered how health care professionals are working to address misinformation through community outreach and multicomponent interventions. Regulation differences between prescription drugs, OTC medications, and dietary supplements were highlighted by Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP, the Public Health Pharmacist. Celebrity endorsements were said to potentially contribute to misinformation if claims aren't verified. While endorsements can raise awareness, medical experts cautioned that popularity doesn't equal scientific merit, said Alfred L'Altrelli, PharmD, CFMC, MBA, the senior director of pharmacy at UPMC Presbyterian-Shadyside. An interesting finding showed music videos being used as health education sources in Africa discussed by Andrew Mcnab, MD, professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. While endorsements can begin conversations, pharmacists were identified as the trusted medical sources. They were urged to educate patients, especially on less regulated OTC products and supplements. The podcast emphasized pharmacists' important roles as gatekeepers and advocates for providing accurate health information and guidance to patients, Troy Trygstad, PharmD, PhD, MBA, the executive director of CPESN USA, said. Experts Include: Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP, the Public Health Pharmacist; Alfred L'Altrelli, PharmD, CFMC, MBA, the senior director of pharmacy at UPMC Presbyterian-Shadyside; Andrew Mcnab, MD, professor at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia; and Troy Trygstad, PharmD, PhD, MBA, the executive director of CPESN USA. Key Takeaways 1. Multicomponent interventions like addressing specific populations, increasing knowledge, and engaging community leaders can effectively address vaccine misinformation. 2. It's important to differentiate between unintentional misinformation and intentional disinformation. 3. OTC supplements and vitamins are less regulated than prescription drugs and claims may not be evidence-based. 4. Celebrity endorsements can raise awareness, but claims should be verified, and patients need guidance from medical professionals. 5. Personal endorsements from celebrities affected by conditions may be more effective than endorsements unrelated to health. 6. Different media types impact message effectiveness. TV is broad but social media allows targeted messaging. 7. Music videos using repetition and visuals can be an effective health promotion tool. 8. Pharmacists serve as trusted medical sources and should educate patients, especially on OTC products. References 1. Peters MDJ. Addressing vaccine hesitancy and resistance for COVID-19 vaccines.

Dr. Milena Murray joins Bruce to discuss the implications of aging and HIV. Since nearly half of Americans living with HIV are over the age of 55, it is important to recognize their unique care needs as well as the risk of HIV in people over 55 generally. Bruce and Dr. Murray talk about the use of PrEP and how people can approach sexual health discussions with their providers. They also talk about what to expect with the use of antiretroviral therapies in conjunction with other medications people commonly use when they age. They emphasize how care should be tailored for the individual and why it's important for patients and providers to have open communication about their drug regimens.About Dr. Milena Murray:Milena Murray, PharmD, MSc, BCIDP, AAHIVP, FCCP, is an associate professor of pharmacy practice at the Midwestern University College of Pharmacy, Downers Grove Campus.

The Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines are officially being administered under emergency-use authorization.

Overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics can lead to antimicrobial resistance, increased cost, and higher prevalence of adverse drug reactions. Nearly 2 million infections and 23,000 deaths are caused by bacteria that are antibiotic-resistant each year in the United States costing the healthcare system an estimated 20 billion dollars. Moreover, adverse reactions to antibiotics are the most common reason for pediatric patients to visit the emergency department.  Narrow-spectrum antimicrobials are generally preferred, but there are instances where broader coverage is recommended.  A recent study attempts to “clean up” the debate by examining the benefits and risks of using narrow- versus broad-spectrum antibiotics in children with acute respiratory tract infections.
