Hyperthyroidism, though less common than hypothyroidism in elderly populations, poses unique challenges in long-term care (LTC) settings. In older adults, symptoms can be subtle or atypical—manifesting as unexplained weight loss, anxiety, atrial fibrillation, or cognitive decline, which may be mistaken for normal aging or other chronic conditions. In LTC facilities, where polypharmacy and comorbidities are prevalent, the role of the pharmacist consultant is critical in identifying potential signs of hyperthyroidism, reviewing lab results, and ensuring appropriate medication management. While levothyroxine is a standard therapy for hypothyroidism, its use in LTC requires close monitoring, especially to avoid overtreatment that can mimic or induce hyperthyroid symptoms. Pharmacist consultants play a key role in evaluating levothyroxine dosing—considering factors like renal function, drug interactions (e.g., calcium, iron supplements), and changes in patient weight or dietary habits. In cases where hyperthyroidism is present or suspected, pharmacists assist in monitoring antithyroid medications such as methimazole or managing transitions after radioactive iodine therapy or surgery. Their involvement ensures thyroid function is properly assessed, doses are adjusted appropriately, and adverse events—like fractures or cardiovascular risks from overtreatment—are minimized.
Pharmacists providing care to patients following toxicologic ingestions of medications and other substances are often relied upon for treatment and monitoring recommendations. Many pharmacists do not routinely care for patients following toxicologic ingestions of medications or other substances and are unfamiliar with clinical presentation of various toxidromes and ultimately management strategies. This episode covers anticholinergic, cholinergic, sedative-hypnotic, opioid, sympathomimetic, serotonin syndrome, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and malignant hypethermia toxidromes and discusses the clinical presentation and causative medications/substances and general treatment approaches, with an emphasis on antidotes for specific toxidromes including physostigmine, naloxone, flumazenil, atropine, and pralidoxime.

Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Midodrine is an oral alpha-1 agonist most commonly used for the treatment of symptomatic orthostatic hypotension. Its mechanism of action is through peripheral vasoconstriction, which helps increase blood pressure. Because of its short duration of action, it is typically dosed three times daily, with the last dose recommended in the late afternoon to reduce the risk of hypertension at night. Clinically, midodrine is often considered when non-pharmacologic strategies for orthostatic hypotension (such as increased salt/fluid intake, compression stockings, or physical counter-maneuvers) are not enough. Pharmacists should also be aware of prescribing cascades—such as urinary retention leading to tamsulosin initiation—that can arise when midodrine is used. Midodrine is generally not metabolized through cytochrome P450 pathways, so significant drug–drug interactions are less common. However, caution should be exercised with other agents that can raise blood pressure (like decongestants) or slow the heart rate (such as beta-blockers). Monitoring parameters include blood pressure, pulse, symptoms of urinary retention, and the patient's overall response to therapy.

In this episode of the Astonishing Healthcare podcast, host Justin Venneri is joined by Josh Golden, SVP of Strategy, and RFP Content Manager, Nic Bolitho, for a timely discussion about trends they're seeing in the market and how to run a better request for proposal (RFP) process to select a pharmacy benefit management (PBM) partner. Long story short, the "old way" of running a PBM RFP is broken, but, as Josh describes, there are some "tectonic shifts" happening as plan sponsors demand to see more options (i.e., transparent PBMs) and benefits brokers and consultants upgrade the questions and scoring used to force accountability and drive meaningful results for plans and plan members.HighlightsUnit-cost-based spreadsheet comparisons and marketing fluff are "out;" evaluating drug mix and how the PBM manages the plan (the 'M' in PBM) or makes money off of the plan are "in."Plan sponsors and benefits consultants must demand flexibility - the PBM contract should not be a "house of cards." For example, agreements should provide the freedom to add new vendors or carve out services without collapsing your financial arrangement.Legacy tech platforms are a barrier to innovation; ask potential partners if their technology can handle customizations and integrations with agility to avoid being told, "We just can't do that."Precise questions about member experience are a must; RFPs should move beyond open-ended questions that invite marketing fluff. Use specific, binary questions to obtain an accurate measure of the member experience and the effectiveness of clinical programs (e.g., NPS, turnaround times for prior authorizations, etc.).Related ContentReplay: PBM Procurement Decoded: Insights from a Pharmacist and an Actuary Why Savings Don't Materialize: The Truth About Pharmacy Benefit Procurement eBook AH034 - Customer Care in Healthcare: Setting a Higher Bar, with Will TafoyaAH035 - Pharmacy Benefits 101: Clinical Programs, with Bonnie Hui-Callahan, PharmD5 ways to improve PBM procurement (EBN) For more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Judi Health - Insights.
This is the 64th episode in my drug pronunciation series. In this episode, I divide acetaminophen and Tylenol into syllables, tell you which syllables to emphasize, and share my sources. The written pronunciations are below and in the show notes on https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com. It's easy to say a drug name correctly when you have the phonetic pronunciation written into your notes/script/on your teleprompter. Try it, and practice. Note: we don't cover pharmacology in this series. Just pronunciations. The FULL show notes are available at https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast. Acetaminophen = a-SEET-a-MIN-oh-fen or uh-SEET-uh-MIN-uh-fin a, like the “A” in the word, “adoption” (sounds like “uh”). SEET, like a bike seat a, which is that short “A” sound again (sounds like “uh”). MIN, like minute o, which is a schwa “O” sound, like the “O” in the word “astronaut” (sounds like “uh”). fen, like a fin on a fish Source for the written pronunciation = drugs.com or the USP Dictionary Online Source for the spoken pronunciation = drugs.com (accessed 9-24-25) Tylenol = TY-luh-nall TY, like you tie your shoes luh, like lullaby nall, which rhymes with y'all.

Andrew Maiorini, PharmD, FAHM, joined Over the Counter to discuss the importance of education and patient engagement when it comes to the pharmacist's role in addressing medication adherence.
In this episode, Stuart Haines, JACCP Editor-in-Chief, interviews Dr. Andrea Sikora, Dr. Brian Murray, and Dr. Susan Smith about their recently published consensus recommendations for integrating critical care pharmacists into intensive care unit (ICU) teams which was endorsed by ACCP as well as the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, Institute of Safe Medication Practices, and the Society of Critical Care Medicine. The paper was published in the September 2025 issue of JACCP and is available open access. The document addresses the "unmet need" of operationalizing the pharmacist's role, as evidence suggests that many ICUs still lack a critical care pharmacist. The recommendations go beyond simply advocating for pharmacists; they provide a blueprint for hospitals to optimize pharmacist services, including direct and indirect patient care activities. The paper and its supplementary materials, which include an institutional assessment checklist, can be used to improve the quality of patient care.

The Unsung Heroes of Healthcare: "Community pharmacists are maybe the most trusted and most accessible health care provider. They're unsung heroes in our communities but rich with knowledge." - Dr. Taylor ReedWe shine a spotlight on a vital resource in Central Ohio: the Charitable Pharmacy of Central Ohio. For 15 years, this nonprofit has been dedicated to providing free, life-saving prescription medications to those who can't afford them. Executive Director Dr. Taylor Reed joins the conversation to share his unique career path, the inspiring origin story of the charitable pharmacy, and how the organization serves the community. Especially older adults and those with chronic health needs. We'll explore the challenges and partnerships that make this work possible, recent changes in Ohio law that allow even more donated medications to reach those in need, and how the pharmacy works hand-in-hand with patients, healthcare providers, and other social service organizations to address the full spectrum of patient wellness. If you or someone you know is struggling with medication costs, or if you're interested in how you can help, this episode is packed with insights, resources, and ways to get involved. Here are 3 key takeaways for healthcare and community professionals:The Charitable Pharmacy was born from a unique Columbus-style public-private partnership that included city, county, all four major health systems, faith organizations, and business leaders. This cross-sector approach catalyzed innovative and lasting solutions for medication access in our region.Serving over 1,600 individuals annually, the pharmacy provides not just free medication but a holistic support model. Patients often face multiple chronic conditions, and pharmacists deliver ongoing education, coaching, and direct connections to broader health and social services.From state law changes enabling medication donations to partnerships with organizations like the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, the Charitable Pharmacy is addressing the social drivers of health, ensuring patients have food, housing, and transportation, not just medication.If you like this episode, please let us know.

“93% Harry Potter and 7% Bear Grylls”. That's how Paul Watkins' website describes him.There are lots of other labels that could be applied too; Pharmacist, mountaineer, full-time dad, ultramarathon runner, motivational speaker and property developer.However, the one label that doesn't sit comfortably with Paul is “athlete”, which is difficult to appreciate when you consider his list of achievements.Paul has climbed major peaks on all 7 continents and competed in some of toughest ultramarathon runners in Australia and the world.Most recently, Paul competed in the 6633 Arctic Ultra; a 614km/380mi self-supported race in the Arctic Circle in temperatures ranging from -20˚ to -40˚ celsius (-4˚ to -4˚F) with an 80% drop-out rate.And not only did he finish the race, he won!There's an interesting theme reoccurring through much of Paul's story; he's often “failed” on the first go.He ‘failed' on his first attempt to summit Denali (the highest mountain in North America).I first met Paul in Argentina when we were on the same expedition to climb Aconcagua, the highest mountain in South America - and also his second attempt to do so.And his victorious race at the 6633 Arctic Ultra in 2019 was his second attempt after he DNF'd 250km into this first attempt in 2017.And we discuss how on earth a self-confessed nerd won one of the toughest, longest, windiest and coldest ultramarathons in the world.Paul is a great storyteller and someone who has thought deeply about what it takes to bring the best out of yourself, and others.
