Release date

December 17, 2021

Expiration date

December 16, 2022

Program Overview

This CE activity is derived from content presented at the 2021 ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting & Exhibition. The expert faculty, led by Dr. John Fanikos, will highlight the pharmacist’s role in treating patients with cardio renal metabolic disorders, utilizing SGLT2 receptor inhibitor therapeutics. The faculty will start by providing an overview of the interconnection of cardio renal metabolic disorders, and the science of SGLT2 receptor inhibitors. Following, recent clinical trial data for SGLT2 inhibitor therapeutics will be analyzed. The faculty will conclude with a review of the optimal role of the pharmacist in the applications of SGLT2 receptor inhibitors to manage type 2 diabetes, reduce hospital admissions for heart failure, reduce cardiovascular deaths, and slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease, especially in the pandemic era of COVID-19. Upon completion of this activity, pharmacists will gain better insight into the utilization of SGLT2 inhibitor therapeutics for the care of their patients with cardio renal metabolic disorders.
