Prescribing

This webinar provides best practice advice from pharmacist Jennifer Dunkin on how patients can manage pain medications if they have recently been injured, have experienced a fracture and/or have undergone surgery to fix their injury. It also provides information on what to look out for if an injury is painful beyond the time it typically takes for an injury to heal.

In this webinar, clinical pharmacist Terri Betts speaks to many of the question providers have about prescribing cannabis for chronic pain. Her presentation specifically addresses known pharmacology, especially THC and CBD effects; the evidence behind dosing; indications for which there is evidence of benefit; scientific bodies who recognize and endorse the evidence; and how cannabinoids compare to other medications for chronic pain in terms of their effectiveness and side effect profile.
