Referencing popular programs* in which pharmacists in barbershops helped reduce patients' hypertension, Dr. MacKinnon says:
"We have to rethink and reimagine where patients want to be seen.
The barbershop, or the pharmacy—something that’s local." https://t.co/0PlrCHXqLL
"1 in 4 adults have their blood pressure under control," says Dr. George MacKinnon III, dean of @MCWPharmacy, "A major preventable risk factor for heart disease and stroke."
Citing the 2020 Surgeon General's Call to Action to Control Hypertension, which called on pharmacists to have an active role:
"We have to prepare our student pharmacists for these activities to step up and step in."
"It’s not until you have an event like this that partnerships actually gel, and you start to form lasting, trusting relationships that turn into amazing things."
EVP & CEO Lee Vermeulen introduces the joint @AmerMedicalAssn-@MCWPharmacy session at #PharmEd25, detailing their partnership to enhance blood pressure measurement training in #PharmEd.
Lasix is NOT nephrotoxic 🫘
Please retweet so we can end this myth once and for all 🦄
Rising creatinine is more often an indicator of inadequate Lasix dosing than excessive!!
Lasix can only harm the kidneys if it decreases cardiac output by dropping preload to the point of reducing stroke volume... as someone who scans these patients regularly this is surprisingly rare!
If a patient still has venous congestion (on Doppler), then Lasix is not driving the AKI. Instead, their AKI is from untreated congestion!!
@ZCiochettoMD424@DrToddLee: “The urine is innocent until proven guilty.”
@BradSpellberg: “The urine should file a class action lawsuit against the medical community for widespread slander.”

@nickmmark @HeavnerPharmD @CritCareTime Not sure if I’m late but concomitant PPI & sucralfate makes no sense since sucralfate needs an acidic environment to be work!
