   Hypothyroidism in Long-Term Care: The Pharmacist's Role | YARAL Pharma

   This podcast is sponsored by YARAL Pharma. In this episode, we are focusing on the management of hypothyroidism -- a treatable, but not curable condition – and will explore unique challenges for patients with hypothyroidism in long-term care – from tolerability and formulation considerations to consistent dosing and patient needs. Dr. Tamara Ruggles is not affiliated with YARAL Pharma. All views and opinions regarding hypothyroidism are solely her own and are not attributable to YARAL or the Pharmacy Podcast Network. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for levothyroxine sodium capsules INDICATION AND USAGE Levothyroxine sodium capsules are L-thyroxine (T4) indicated for adults and pediatric patients 6 years and older with: Hypothyroidism - As replacement therapy in primary (thyroidal), secondary (pituitary), and tertiary (hypothalamic) congenital or acquired hypothyroidism Pituitary Thyrotropin (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, TSH) Suppression - As an adjunct to surgery and radioiodine therapy in the management of thyrotropin-dependent well differentiated thyroid cancer Limitations of Use: Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for suppression of benign thyroid nodules and nontoxic diffuse goiter in iodine-sufficient patients as there are no clinical benefits and overtreatment with Levothyroxine sodium capsules may induce hyperthyroidism. Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for treatment of transient hypothyroidism during the recovery phase of subacute thyroiditis WARNING: NOT FOR THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY OR FOR WEIGHT LOSS Thyroid hormones, including levothyroxine sodium capsules, either alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used for the treatment of obesity or for weight loss. In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life-threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with sympathomimetic amines such as those used for their anorectic effects. Contraindications Uncorrected adrenal insufficiency Warnings and Precautions Cardiac adverse reactions in the elderly and in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease: Initiate Levothyroxine sodium capsules at less than the full replacement dose because of the increased risk of cardiac adverse reactions, including atrial fibrillation Myxedema coma: Do not use oral thyroid hormone drug products to treat myxedema coma Acute adrenal crisis in patients with concomitant adrenal insufficiency: Treat with replacement glucocorticoids prior to initiation of levothyroxine sodium capsules treatment Prevention of hyperthyroidism or incomplete treatment of hypothyroidism: Proper dose titration and careful monitoring is critical to prevent the persistence of hypothyroidism or the development of hyperthyroidism Worsening of diabetic control: Therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus may worsen glycemic control and result in increased antidiabetic agent or insulin requirements. Carefully monitor glycemic control after starting, changing, or discontinuing thyroid hormone therapy Decreased bone mineral density associated with thyroid hormone over-replacement: Over-replacement can increase bone reabsorption and decrease bone mineral density. Give the lowest effective dose Adverse Reactions Common adverse reactions with levothyroxine therapy are primarily those of hyperthyroidism due to therapeutic overdosage. They include the following: General: fatigue, increased appetite, weight loss, heat intolerance, fever, excessive sweating Central Nervous System: headache, hyperactivity, nervousness, anxiety, irritability, emotional ability, insomnia Musculoskeletal: tremors, muscle weakness Cardiovascular: palpitations, tachycardia, arrythmias, increased pulse and blood pressure, heart failure, angina, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest Respiratory: dyspnea Gastrointestinal (GI): diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal

   Targeted Acute Pain Relief: The Role of Topical NSAID Patches in Sports Medicine | Yaral Pharma

   In this episode, YARAL Pharma CEO, Stephen Beckman joins clinical sports pharmacist Jessica Beal, PharmD. to discuss an important topic for athletes and active individuals – the role topical NSAID patches can play in acute pain management. Listeners can visit www.YARALPharma.com to learn more about the company and its products or connect on LinkedIn. Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for treating acute pain from minor strains, sprains, and bruises in adults and children aged 6 and older. Serious side effects may include increased risk of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (GI) events. NSAIDs can raise the risk of heart attack, stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach and intestines, which can be fatal. The risk for serious cardiovascular events may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use. Elderly patients and those with a history of peptic ulcer disease or GI bleeding are at higher risk for serious GI events. Do not use in patients who are allergic to diclofenac or any of its ingredients, or have a history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Do not use in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Avoid use on broken skin. Discontinue immediately if signs of hypersensitivity occur. Patients should be informed about the warning signs and symptoms of liver problems. Discontinue use if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen or if signs of liver disease develop. Avoid using Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% in patients with severe heart failure unless the benefits are expected to outweigh the risks. The most common side effects include itching, nausea, and headache. Patients should stop use and consult their doctor at the first sign of skin rash or other signs of sensitivity. Patients should ask their doctor if Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% is right for them.
