On this episode, I cover cinacalcet, solifenacin, haloperidol, hydrocortisone (focused on topical), and insulin NPH.

Cinacalcet is a calcimimetic medication that can be helpful in hyperparathyroidism and useful for managing hypercalcemia.

Solifenacin is a urinary antimuscarinic used primarily for overactive bladder. It is an anticholinergic medication that can be problematic in our geriatric patients.

Haloperidol is a first generation antipsychotic that has a high incidence of EPS relative to many newer antipsychotics.

Hydrocotorisone is one of the most common topical corticosteroids that can be used to reduce inflammation and redness from skin reactions.

Insulin NPH is an intermediate acting insulin that is meant to be given on a routine basis. It has fallen out of favor since insulin glargine and other long acting agents allow for few injections and more stable kinetics.
