Episode 22: The Down-Low on Low Dose: The How-To
In our 22nd episode we continue our low dose discussion. We talk about the concept of n-of-1 trials and allowing patients to determine their dose. We review some of the benefits of low-dose prescribing, such as low side-effect risk and reduced costs, but emphasize the medical conditions in which low doses are inappropriate. We end by offering some practical suggestions to assist patients with very low doses (in which James forces Mike to acknowledge the superior power of pharmacists).
Show Notes
1) Placebo what it is and should you use it – go with low dose instead?
2) Cost has an effect on adherence
