Webinar: Hydroxychloroquine & Its Potential Role in COVID-19 Treatment

THIS THURSDAY!

Maybe Hydroxychloroquine will prove to be an appropriate treatment for COVID-19. Maybe it won't.

But with all the attention it's receiving in the media right now, there's a good chance that pharmacy compounding professionals like you are being asked about it by patients or other healthcare professionals. They're expecting you to be up-to-speed on all things HCQ - what it is, what it does, and how it might (or might not) help against coronavirus. They'll expect you to know.

That's why we're offering this webinar on Hydroxychloroquine, which includes an update on the latest literature, just in time for those questions you're fielding. Think of it as a refresher as well as a briefing on recent studies and trials that may have bearing in the current debate about the drug - so that you'll feel more confident in understanding and answering questions about its current place in therapy.

Session Objectives:  

- Describe the basic pharmacology, proposed mechanism of action, kinetics, and indications of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)

- Discuss safety and considerations for use of HCQ

- Outline clinical trial and in vitro data on the use of HCQ for COVID-19
