Lipid Drugs Part II
Guest: Alicia A. Mickow, APRN, C.N.P.
Host: Stephen Kopecky, MD
Overview:
Viewers will better understand alternative lipid-lowering medication options available, efficacy of these medications, when to prescribe them, potential side effects, and barriers to prescribing the non-statin medications for our patients. Also, we want the viewer to be more comfortable with prescribing alternative lipid-lowering medications and/or know resources around them to better support our patients from a primary or secondary prevention standpoint.
Questions:
1. What are the non-stain medications available and how are they different from statins?
2. How do you decide which medication to use when patients are statin intolerant?
3. What side effects do we need to be aware of with these newer medications?
4. Are there barriers to prescribing the non-statin medications for our patients?
