October is National Dental Hygiene Month 🦷, making it the ideal time to educate patients on maintaining good oral health while taking buccal buprenorphine. Healthcare providers should emphasize the importance of preventing dental issues like tooth decay, infections, and tooth loss. Encourage patients to avoid sugary foods 🍬, swish with water after the medication dissolves 💧, and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day 🚰. These simple steps can help protect their teeth and maintain a healthy smile 😁.

Last month, Drs. Liana Osis and Stephanie Cooper, pharmacist academic detailers, conducted an impactful academic detailing session at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Peoria. 📚💊 Check out what Dr. Finkenbine had to say about the experience! 👇

“Dear Dr. Osis:

Thank you for your presentations as a Guest Lecturer in the UICOMP Department of Psychiatry’s Residency Core Series: Introduction to Psychopharmacology. Your presentation on September 12, 2024, was well received. The residents’ comments were globally very favorable, and you and Cooper were especially impressive in your ability to make connections with the trainees and answer their questions. The experience was the perfect level for first-year residents. Your presentation is an important part of the success of this series. Again, thank you, and I look forward to future collaboration.”
- Dr. Ryan Finkenbine, MD, Program Director

📢 New Public Health Announcement📢 The U.S.

📢 New Public Health Announcement📢

The U.S. FDA has approved #CAPVAXIVE, a 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease and pneumococcal pneumonia in adults.

This vaccine offers broad protection against the most prevalent and severe pneumococcal infections by targeting the serotypes responsible for the majority of cases.

This development of CAPVAXIVE has the potential to significantly reduce the incidence of these serious conditions.
