Adjusting the Dose: Medication Dosing Challenges and Strategies Following Bariatric Surgery

Pharmacists play a critical role in managing medication therapy, yet many may be unaware of the complex pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes that occur following bariatric surgery. As the number of patients undergoing weight loss procedures continues to rise, it is essential for pharmacists to understand how these physiological changes impact drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. This CE activity is designed to equip pharmacists with the clinical knowledge and evidence-based strategies needed to optimize medication dosing, monitoring, and management in this unique population—ultimately enhancing patient safety and therapeutic outcomes.

This is the final live Wednesday webinar in our June CE Mini Series presented by RI Pharmacy Residents. We hope you will join us!
