In this episode, we review the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, monitoring, medicinal chemistry, and more of loop diuretics.
Key Concepts
- Loop diuretics (furosemide, torsemide, bumetanide, ethacrynic acid) are the most potent type of diuretic and are used to relieve edema.
- Loop diuretics cause an increased loss of sodium, chloride, potassium, hydrogen, magnesium, and calcium ions into the urine. Excessive loss of these ions manifests as hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, and metabolic alkalosis.
- Loop diuretics have an S-shaped dose response curve – a minimum dose is required for diuresis and a “ceiling” effect occurs at higher doses (leading to more ADRs). Doses should be individualized based on the clinical response of the patient.
- Ethacrynic acid is incorrectly used in patients with a “sulfa” allergy. The other loop diuretics contain a sulfa moiety but are safe for use in patients with “sulfa” allergy (e.g. allergy to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim).
- The TRANSFORM-HF trial strongly suggests that there is no clinical difference between furosemide and torsemide.

In this episode, we interview Morgan Anderson, PharmD, BCIDP, a graduate of the RFUMS College of Pharmacy, about her career path from a pharmacy resident, emergency medicine specialist, infectious diseases specialist, and now a medical sciences liaison. The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely Dr. Anderson’s own and do not necessarily reflect the views, positions, or policies of her employer. This podcast is conducted in a personal capacity, and any reference to her professional background is for context only. Key Concepts Having a wide breadth of skills and making yourself marketable is important when transitioning between jobs or career paths. Skills like communication and teamwork can be improved and are applicable to a wide variety of careers within pharmacy. Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) are a common role for pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry. MSLs are field-based roles within the medical affairs department of the company. MSLs are medical and scientific experts who build collaborative relationships with key thought leaders, facilitate exchange of scientific information and insights, and serve as a conduit between these thought leaders and other areas of the company. Two common career paths to pharmacists becoming an MSL are via a fellowship program or after years in clinical practice. A fellowship program provides a more structured approach, including mentoring and networking, with access to a variety of areas of the company outside of medical affairs. A pathway after clinical practice is more self-directed with less structure, but provides pharmacists with a strong clinical background that can be helpful in an MSL role. Being a scientific communicator, possessing strong emotional intelligence, and being adaptable are critical soft skills that are essential for success in an MSL role. These soft skills can be improved with practice! References https://www.industrypharmacist.org/…

In this episode, we discuss the efficacy and safety of semaglutide and tirzepatide for weight loss with a particular focus on the legal, regulatory, and safety aspects of these “compounded” GLP-1 receptor agonist medications. Key Concepts Semaglutide and tirzepatide have growing evidence that their clinical benefits extend beyond the treatment of diabetes. Evidence now shows benefit in a variety of obesity-related disease states regardless of a patient’s diabetes status. Insurance coverage and drug cost is a major barrier to these medications, with cash prices exceeding $1000 per month in the US. There are many companies that are combining telemedicine visits with “compounded” GLP-1s to provide these medications at a reduced cost. The Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act regulates compounded drugs. These regulations provide the legal context for pharmacies to compound GLP-1 medications. These regulations describe who can compound, what drugs can be compounded, and other unique circumstances (e.g. compounding in the context of a drug shortage). The FDA has released warnings regarding safety risks of compounded GLP-1s. The main safety concern is dosing errors; however, the warnings also include concerns of patients accessing drug products that are outside of the legal scope of the FD&C Act. The recent ADA statement recommends against the use of compounded GLP-1s due to these concerns. References Karagiannis T, Malandris K, Avgerinos I, et al.

In this episode, we review the recommendations from the 2024 SCCM/ASHP stress ulcer prophylaxis guidelines and highlight three of the more recent landmark critical care trials investigating the role of stress ulcer prophylaxis. Key Concepts After 25 years, the stress ulcer prophylaxis guidelines have been updated by SCCM and ASHP. These guidelines make 13 recommendations in a PICO format. Three large, landmark randomized controlled trials (SUP-ICU, PEPTIC, and REVISE) have significantly contributed to the body of literature regarding stress ulcer prophylaxis. The SCCM/ASHP guidelines recommend stress ulcer prophylaxis in patients with coagulopathy, shock, chronic liver disease, and possibly in neurocritical care patients. They do not specifically recommend prophylaxis in mechanically ventilated patients; this is a controversial recommendation. The SCCM/ASHP guidelines equally prefer proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RA) drug therapies given either intravenously or orally. The prophylaxis regimen should be continued until the indication for prophylaxis has resolved or the patient leaves the ICU. References MacLaren R, Dionne JC, Granholm A, et al.

In this episode, we discuss the approach to deprescribing for several drugs such as benzodiazepine receptor agonists, cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, antipsychotics, and antihyperglycemics. Key Concepts Medication appropriateness including indication and risk vs. benefit should be evaluated for all stages of life; however, more importantly in older individuals to address polypharmacy. There is an emerging trend of deprescribing networks that conduct research and provide evidence-based recommendations for how to deprescribe certain medications used for specific indications. Evidence-based deprescribing guidelines for PPIs, benzodiazepines, benzodiazepine receptor agonists, opioids, antipsychotics, cholinesterase inhibitors, memantine, and antihyperglycemics are available for patient-provider shared decision making. A general deprescribing approach is gradual tapering of the drug leading to discontinuation over several weeks while monitoring patients for withdrawal symptoms or benefits of discontinuation.

In this episode, we discuss principles for medication use in the geriatric patient population and summarize the updated 2023 American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults. Key Concepts The Beer’s Criteria was originally developed by Dr. Mark Beers in 1991 to identify medications in which the risks may outweigh the benefits in nursing home patients. This list is now maintained by the American Geriatrics Society and includes a variety of drug safety information related to elderly patients including medications that are considered potentially inappropriate (Table 2 and 3), medications used with caution (Table 4), drug-drug interactions (Table 5), drugs with renal dose adjustments (Table 6), and drugs with anticholinergic properties (Table 7). The newest update prefers apixaban over other DOACs for VTE and atrial fibrillation in elderly patients. This is a very controversial recommendation given that other guidelines (e.g. from the ACC/AHA) have not published a similar preference of one DOAC over another. Many of the medications that are potentially inappropriate involve drugs that have anticholinergic properties and drugs that increase the risk of incoordination and falls. Other resources exist to guide drug therapy decisions in elderly patients. As an example, the STOPP/START criteria (published in the European Geriatric Medicine journal) outlines drugs to avoid but also drugs to consider in elderly patients.

In this episode, we discuss artificial intelligence large language models (LLMs) and how these will impact the future of the practice of pharmacy. Key Concepts Generative AI with large language models (LLMs) have already changed how healthcare is delivered to patients. In the future, these changes will be more substantial and require pharmacists and other healthcare professionals to understand the benefits and downsides of this technology. Commercial LLMs, such as ChatGPT, are not HIPAA compliant and should not be used with protected health information. Companies currently offer software products that are HIPAA compliant and can integrate directly into electronic health records in a HIPAA-compliant manner. Currently, most commercial use cases of LLMs for healthcare providers focus on expediting or simplifying the documentation process (e.g. generating a first draft of a progress note or summarizing a patient encounter from an audio recording). In the future, LLMs will be used to perform a variety of clinical tasks, including drug interaction checking, renal dose adjustments, duplication of therapy, and even the appropriateness of a patient’s drug regimen for a given medical condition. These clinical tasks will almost certainly be done as a “first pass” to highlight or flag specific aspects of a patient’s chart and will then be reviewed by a licensed (human) healthcare provider as a final check prior to clinical decisions being made.

In this episode, we review the pharmacology, indications, adverse effects, monitoring, and unique drug characteristics of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (“statins”). Key Concepts Statins reduce LDL cholesterol by 20-60% (depending on the dose and statin potency). They have modest favorable effects on HDL and triglycerides. Clinically, statins reduce the risk of major adverse cardiac events by about 30% depending on the statin potency. There are four main groups of patients who are indicated for a statin: LDL >= 190 mg/dL, diabetes with age 40-75 years with LDL 70-189 mg/dL, those with an elevated 10-year ASCVD risk of > 7.5% (or possibly > 5%), and those who have had an ASCVD event (“secondary prevention”). Atorvastatin, lovastatin, and simvastatin heavily rely on CYP 3A4 metabolism and tend to be most susceptible to drug interactions compared to the other statins. When a statin is started, baseline lipid panel and liver function tests should be obtained. After 4-12 weeks, a lipid panel should be repeated. Liver function and creatine kinase testing should only be done if a patient has a symptom (e.g. jaundice, right upper quadrant pain, muscle pain or weakness, dark urine, etc.) References Grundy SM, Stone NJ, Bailey AL, et al. 2018 AHA/ACC/AACVPR/AAPA/ABC/ACPM/ADA/AGS/APhA/ASPC/NLA/PCNA Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines.

In this recurring episode, we discuss the important updates from the 2024 American Diabetes Association Guidelines! Key Concepts Tirzepatide is now recommended as one of the weight loss pharmacotherapy options along with semaglutide in patients with diabetes. The language for its use in comparison to insulin therapy has been updated similar to GLP-1RAs. The new hypoglycemia section in chapter 6 now houses all recommendations regarding screening, education, prevention, and treatment of hypoglycemia. The recommendation for prescribing glucagon has been clarified - regardless of type of diabetes, it is recommended that glucagon be prescribed to all patients using insulin or those who are at high risk with proper education of family members or caregivers. Teplizumab, a monoclonal antibody against CD30, is available for preventing progression of stage 2 type 1 diabetes to stage 3 type 1 diabetes. Guidelines have updated screening criteria for staging type 1 diabetes and recommends use of teplizumab in these patients. Other updates revolve around emphasis of using diabetes technology such as CGMs and AID for appropriate patients, clarified or strengthened screening recommendations for type 1 staging, peripheral arterial disease, bone mass density, etc., and emphasis on weight management alongside meeting glycemic goals.

In this episode, we speak with Janeen Winnike, the Associate Dean for Student Affairs at Rosalind Franklin and a co-course director for the Pharmacy Law course at the university. We review some of the key points regarding federal and Illinois pharmacy law – a must-listen especially for graduates preparing for their MPJE exam after graduation! Key Concepts The FDA (via the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) primarily regulates manufacturers. Most regulation for pharmacies and pharmacists is via the federal Controlled Substances Act and state-based regulations (acts and administrative codes). An IND (investigational drug application) is required to begin human clinical trials (phase I-III). An NDA (new drug application) is used for the FDA to consider whether a drug should be approved for use in the US. The Federal Controlled Substances Act outlines which drugs are scheduled I-V. State law can be more restrictive. C-II drugs have special regulations related to prescribing, ordering/distribution, refills, partial fills, etc. In Illinois, pharmacists, student pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians are permitted to vaccinate patients aged 7 years and older (or temporarily 3 years and older per the PREP act for COVID-19 and influenza vaccines). Pharmacists can order and administer COVID-19 and influenza vaccines; other vaccines require a standing order or a prescription in order prior to administration in a pharmacy.

In this episode, we review evidence-based guidelines for the emergency reversal of warfarin, dabigatran, and the oral Xa inhibitors (apixaban, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban). Key Concepts Reversal of anticoagulation is indicated in patients with major hemorrhage or when emergency surgery is necessary. Reversal of warfarin (Coumadin®) involves a fast-acting, short-term solution (usually prothrombin complex concentrates [PCC]) and a slower-acting, long-term solution (intravenous vitamin K). Idarucizumab (Praxbind®) is the preferred reversal strategy for dabigatran (Pradaxa®). Idarucizumab is a monoclonal antibody fragment specific that binds and inactivates dabigatran. If idarucizumab is unavailable, PCCs are recommended. Andexanet alfa (Andexxa®) is the preferred reversal strategy for oral Xa inhibitors and has FDA approval specific to apixaban and rivaroxaban. Andexanet alfa is a decoy factor Xa protein with higher binding affinity than human clotting factor Xa. There are several barriers to use with andexanet alfa that has led to low utilization in hospitals. If andexanet alfa is unavailable, PCCs are recommended. References Baugh CW, et al.

In this two part episode, we review some of the most important clinical pearls in the pharmacotherapy and practice aspects of hormonal contraceptives with a brief focus on the very first FDA approved OTC hormonal contraceptive product (Opill). Key Concepts (Part 2) Missed dose instructions are particularly important with progestin only pills (POPs). Patients should take POPs at the same time (within 3 hours) each day - missing a dose beyond this 3 hour window is considered a missed dose and requires barrier contraception. There are a wide variety of hormonal contraception options for patients - each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Shared decision making between a healthcare provider and a patient is critical to selecting the most appropriate form of contraception! The CDC's Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC) is an important resource to guide prescribers with regards to selecting hormonal contraception and also in identifying the clinical significance of a variety of drug interactions with hormonal contraception. One of the most important aspects of hormonal conctraception is adequate patient follow-up. Especially given the wide variety of hormonal contraception options, patients may need to switch their contraceptive multiple times until they find one that works best for them. Close follow-up and patient counseling are pivotal for helping a patient identify their optimal regimen.

In this two part episode, we review some of the most important clinical pearls in the pharmacotherapy and practice aspects of hormonal contraceptives with a brief focus on the very first FDA approved OTC hormonal contraceptive product (Opill). Key Concepts (Part 1) The effectiveness of contraceptives varies based on “ideal use” (e.g. in a clinical trial with optimal compliance) versus “typical use” (e.g. real-world effectiveness in patients who may sometimes be less adherent than in clinical trials). Oral, patch, and ring-based hormonal contraceptives (combination estrogen-progestin or progestin-only formulations) with “typical” use are about ~90% effective, meaning in one year there are ~10 unplanned pregnancies with these contraceptive options. When using an estrogen-based oral contraceptive, the estrogen dose should be initiated at a low dose (25 mcg or less per day of ethinyl estradiol). The dose of estrogen may need to be increased if breakthrough bleeding occurs in the early/mid cycle despite being on therapy for at least 6 months. Breakthrough bleeding later in the cycle is typically due to an inadequate progestin dose. In general, manufacturers do not provide multiple different formulations with different progestin doses; therefore, if late breakthrough does occur, an alternative formulation with a different progestin should be considered. If a patient misses one dose of a combination oral contraceptive, they should take the missed dose as soon as possible (even taking two doses at once if they remember when the next dose is due). If two or more doses are missed, the package insert should be consulted for instructions – management depends on the timing of the cycle, recency of unprotected sex, and other factors.

In this episode, we interview Scott Glosner, PharmD, MPH, BCPS about his extensive experience working at Pfizer in medical outcomes and as a field medical director. Dr. Glosner will share his career journey from a clinical pharmacist transitioning into the pharmaceutical industry in the late 1990s and what current pharmacists and students should know about a job in a pharmaceutical company. Key Concepts Pharmacists are playing an increasingly important role within the pharmaceutical industry. Prior clinical experience is a significant advantage to applicants for these positions. Key characteristics of a competitive pharmacist applicant for an industry position include strong communication skills, being perseverant (“tough skin”), being extremely persistent, and having real-world clinical experience. Different companies and job positions within industry often require differing amounts of prior experience. Applicants with more than several years of experience (or equivalent fellowship experience) may be more competitive for positions. Standing out in any way, whether board certification, doing research, networking, etc. is important for any applicant. In the future, pharmacists in industry may be playing a greater role in the oncology space, social determinants of health, emerging topics (such as gene therapy), and being capable of analyzing and interpreting “real world” clinical trial data.

In this episode, we will discuss the definition of REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies), why they exist, the role of FDA in administering REMS, types and examples of REMS, and how they impact pharmacy practice. Key Concepts The REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies) program was developed in 2007 as part of the FDA’s drug risk management strategies designed to balance risk and benefits of certain drugs. Elements of REMS vary depending on the drug, but commonly include medication guides, communication plans, and other elements to assure safe use. REMS can require patients, providers, and pharmacies to take certain actions including training, registration, enrollment, safety monitoring, documentation of safety concerns, and follow prescribing and dispensing regulations. The FDA captures and assesses data on a regular basis to make changes in the REMS program. It also has authority to enforce compliance and take punitive actions against non-compliant parties.
