Black Box Warnings

$129.99 Standard

Who among us does not prescribe (or have patients taking) antidepressants, diabetic medications or fluoroquinolones? Many commonly prescribed medications contain safety warnings from the FDA, called “Black Box Warnings.” It is easy to forget the warnings on relatively common drugs, and even easier to forget the warnings for less commonly used medications. This presentation will be interactive and fun while Bob McMullen, EdD, PA-C reviews the dangers of many medications, to ensure you are safely prescribing for patients.
