Thanks everyone so much for sharing your experiences! We are going to try to move forward with approval of 4500 mg max dose (max 1500 mg per syringe- 3 syringes) and will also follow with an MUE.

Ok EM pharmacy peeps…who has implemented IV push levetiracetam in their EDs up to 4500mg? Working to get this up and running at my institution! Any special considerations or protocol specifics worth noting? #EMPharmacy #EMPharmacist #EMPharm

As promised, a 🧵 on GoodRx.

Starting off with the basics…

What is it?
GoodRx is a prescription drug price tracking and discount company. It’s essentially another middle man in the messy landscape that is #drugpricing in the US.

But it’s more complicated than that… #TwitteRx

I can’t believe this has to be said, but a teacher shouldn’t pay a higher tax rate than a hedge fund manager.

@PulmCrit @WesElyMD Fun fact after searching for the trials to review: ACT-II is regarding anal cancer treatments. ACTT-II is the baricitinib trial.

Over the past week, there's been a lot of buzz about the #CovidVaccine and myocarditis. Some people have said some worrying things 😟

This has been a lot to process. To help, here's a thread on the essentials. (1)

"Our results suggest no hemostatic efficacy of early platelet transfusion in ICH under antiplatelet therapy. Adjunct DDAVP showed no benefit in limiting hematoma expansion or improving functional outcome."

Please get vaccinated; we will wear masks when we treat you if you don’t. We have had more vaccine than patients to take this prevention measure since May; we need you to step up if you haven’t yet been vaccinated.

Phase 1 of the Cefazolin for All revolution is complete.

We (@KimberlyBlumen1, Bernardo Sousa-Pinto, Lindsay Courtney, Christian Mancini) did a SR and MA of an absolute BOAT LOAD of articles to measure the rate of dual allergy between cefazolin and penicillins.

Our findings...

New fixed-dose 4PCC for VKA reversal study out. I think we can officially close the door on 1000 unit doses being effective compared to anything else (see pic)

Additional info on CNS and baseline INR >6 (2000 unit doses) in this study too

@EDPharmHand @SC_PharmD Auditing isn’t something I’d considered...that’s a solid option. Thanks!

Fellow ED pharmacists: anyone out there who’s completed ATLS training? If so, what was it like for you? Did you find it beneficial? I’m Interested but unsure if it’ll be beneficial to my practice. #EMpharmacy #EMpharmacist #MedEd
