Activity Dates: 04/24/2022 - 04/24/2025
If you are a pharmacist, nurse practitioner, or other health care professional involved in the comprehensive medication management of individuals living with mental health and/or substance use disorders, we invite you to participate in this online course.
Psychiatric pharmacists often encounter patients with substance use disorders in practice. Novel benzodiazepines, including etizolam, clobazolam, and flubromazolam, are potential substances of abuse in the psychiatric patient population. Further knowledge of these novel agents will help psychiatric pharmacists understand, identify, and potentially treat patients with sedative/hypnotic use disorders, or when managing withdrawal symptoms.
