Initial Release Date: June 30, 2023
Planned Expiration Date: July 1, 2026

Description:
Nearly 90% of people who say they have a penicillin allergy, don’t have a true allergy. And it often leads to a prescription for a more expensive and less effective medication. In this course, you’ll learn a guideline-based approach to evaluating and discussing hypersensitivity in patients with documented allergies, opening up their drug therapy options.

Upon successful completion of this application-based CPE course, pharmacists should be able to:
• Review the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of drug hypersensitivity reactions
• Recognize different methods of evaluating drug hypersensitivity reactions
• Develop a guideline-based management plan for a patient with a history of antibiotic allergy
• Summarize the guideline-based approach to patients with NSAID, chemotherapy, and biologic agent allergies 

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
