Expert Strategies for Managing Drug Interactions in Psychiatric Treatment

Sunday, June 4, 2023

9:30 AM – 10:30 AM PT

Location: Octavius 11

The world of psychiatric pharmacotherapy is a constantly evolving milieu, with new medications coming to market at a seemingly accelerating pace, each with its own set of potential harmful drug interactions. Consequently, the psychiatric practitioner must have a command of the safe use not only of new psychiatric medications, but also of existing ones, as well as potential interactions with drugs used to treat commonly seen non-psychiatric co-morbidities. This session will identify some of the drug interactions most commonly seen in psychiatric treatment settings, including assessment of and intervention for interaction-associated indicators.
