OTAC: Clinical Case Webinar

Details

In this session, we will overview cases relating to sedating substances and how they can interact with OAT. When can sedating substances be safely prescribed to patients on OAT? How can we best manage risks of over-sedation, overdose, and patient symptoms? How to manage patients with poly-substance use? We will also briefly discuss the role of SafeScript in managing concomitant medications.

Leading the conversation will be: 

• Dr Rowena Penafiel, Advanced Trainee in Clinical Pharmacology, Toxicology and Addiction Medicine at Drug Health Services, Sydney Local Health District
