About the webinar
Date: Thursday, May 28 – 8:00pm EST
Presenter: Adrienne Junek, MD, CCFP, ABOIM, IFMCP
Nutrient depletions can occur from many pharmacologic treatments, and patients who are prescribed multiple medications may be more likely to have reduced levels of essential nutrients required for metabolic health. While certain drug-induced nutrient depletions may be known by physicians and pharmacists, many are underdiagnosed and undertreated.
In this interactive continuing medical education webinar, Dr. Adrienne Junek will present patient cases focused commonly prescribed medications and their potential side effects, along with information on the therapeutic dosing of nutrients used to support metabolic requirements.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Define what drug-induced nutrient depletion is, and recognize the related mechanisms and strategies for prevention.
- Define the adequate intake (AI), estimated average requirement (EAR) and recommended daily allowance (RDA) for nutrient intakes.
- Name commonly prescribed medications associated with drug-induced nutrient depletion.
- Identify drug-induced nutrient depletion as a potential mechanism for clinically relevant medication side effects.
