📢 Attention Illinois Healthcare Prescribers and Patients! 📢

As of January 17, 2025, the DEA and HHS have updated telemedicine prescribing regulations to help improve access to buprenorphine treatment. Key flexibilities that were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic have now been made permanent, ensuring continued telehealth access for patients in need.

Prescribers can read more about this regulation here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/01/17/2025-01049/expansion-of-buprenorphine-treatment-via-telemedicine-encounter

🚨 True or False 🚨 Non-dihydropyridine calci

🚨 True or False 🚨

Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (CCBs) (e.g., verapamil, diltiazem) are less likely to cause peripheral edema compared to dihydropyridine CCBs (e.g., amlodipine).

Answer: TRUE! 🎉

Dihydropyridine CCBs, like amlodipine, are more likely to cause peripheral edema because they lead to greater vasodilation of blood vessels.

💡 Did You Know? Secnidazole is a single-dose oral antibiotic used to treat bacterial vaginosis (BV) in female patients and trichomoniasis. Unlike other treatments, it doesn't require multiple doses or days of therapy, making it a convenient option for patients. This can help play a key role in reducing the spread of infections in your patients. 🌟
