Description
Description:
Pharmacists play a crucial role in supporting asthma control therapy in their patients. In 2022, the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) recommends patients receive symptom-driven prescriptions (in mild asthma) or use a daily corticosteroid-containing inhaler, to reduce the risk of severe exacerbations.
How do pharmacists continue to support and help patients navigate asthma control/management?
Take this complimentary CE course and learn how you can educate and empower your patients in this transition from two asthma experts in Canada: Dr. Anne Ellis (Professor in the Department of Medicine at Queen’s University), and Ms. Dorothy Pardalis (Clinical Pharmacist at Tilbury District Family Health Team).
Learning objectives:
Part 1:
- To describe the global and Canadian recommendations to help minimize over-use of short-acting beta-agonists as monotherapy and optimize controller therapy
Part 2:

- Identify opportunities in the pharmacy to optimize asthma control for their patients
- List common drug therapy problems in patients with asthma that may lead to increased risk of exacerbations
