Objective: Mental health education can reduce the stigma held by medical and nursing students; however, findings in this regard are limited in pharmacy academia. This study investigated the impact of a neuropsychiatric therapeutics course followed by a case-based course on the mental health stigma held by pharmacy students.
Methods: A survey was conducted of second-year pharmacy students (n = 202) on the first and last day of a neuropsychiatric therapeutics course and 4 months later, at the end of a case-based course.
Upadacitinib for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Extensive Review.
Ann Pharmacother
April 2023
Article Synopsis
- Upadacitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that shows significant efficacy in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), both as a standalone treatment and when combined with traditional disease-modifying drugs.
- Clinical studies reported American College of Rheumatology response rates indicating that upadacitinib improves RA symptoms more effectively than standard synthetic treatments.
- It has a safety profile similar to other JAK inhibitors, is comparable in cost to tofacitinib, and serves as a viable alternative for patients who haven't responded well to other therapies.
