Important Medication Safety Considerations for COVID-19 Treatment



In the COVID-19 fight, medication safety is essential – especially for vulnerable individuals with several chronic diseases who take multiple medications. It has become imperative as the exploration for using repurposed drugs against COVID-19 is underway. While the proposed repurposed medications may potentially be associated with positive outcomes in the management of COVID-19, there are still risks associated. When not used appropriately, effectively, and safely, medications can lead to serious – even fatal – consequences. This webinar will review relevant safety concerns for repurposed medications that are being prescribed or are under investigation for the treatment of COVID-19.

• Understand the relevant history and progression of COVID-19
• Identify the most important proposed treatment options for COVID-19 and understand their mechanism of action, their metabolic pathways and the risk of drug-drug interactions
• Realize the potential for major side-effects, including prolonged QT interval, that may be caused when used in combination
•Through a clinical trial, recognize how simulations will become a good tool for COVID-19 medication management
