It's the debut episode of PodcastRx with Chris Bender! Regular listeners know Chris is a clinical pharmacist with Diamond's Office of Pharmacy Therapeutics and Integrated Clinical Services (OPTICS) team and a repeat guest many times over on PodcastRx. We liked his appearances so much that we asked him to stay permanently- and he accepted! We're pleased to bring you a more segment driven-show centered around one of Diamond's most enthusiastic pharmacy nerds (his term, not ours :-)

In our first segment, which we've dubbed "Into the Clinic", Chris delves into some recent medication headlines and recent studies of note, including:

-Kisunla Approval

-PSA Levels in Transgender Women

-Saline Nasal Sprays and Sick Days

Then we shift into our main discussion block around some "mature" topics, as September is Healthy Aging Month. We explore:

-Effectiveness of Multivitamins

-Ways to Prevent Falls

-Advancements in Alzheimer's Medication

And in our final segment, we take a somewhat lighthearted (but serious) look at some crazy contaminants found in OTC vitamins and supplements.

Thanks so much for listening. Please rate, review, and share!
