FREEDOM OF THE PRESS: THE PHARMACIST'S NEW ROLE IN MANAGING HRS WITH TERLIPRESSIN

This will be followed by an explanation of the medications used in HRS and how the various American and European guidelines recommend their use. The remainder of the presentation will focus on terlipressin, including an assessment of pertinent primary medical literature and a discussion of the pharmacists’ role in terlipressin management. Assessment questions will be dispersed throughout to engage the audience in self-assessment of the presented material. The presentation will occur twice between January 9-11, 2024.
