Dr. Aaron M Tejani gave this webinar presentation focused on the risks associated with anticholinergic drug use. By the end of this session, participants should be able to: utilize existing tools to determine which drugs have anticholinergic properties, identify subtle and not-so-subtle manifestations on anticholinergic drug toxicity, describe how indication-based prescribing can help clinicians assess the patients who use anticholinergic drugs, and utilize informed consent to ensure patients are aware of the risks associated with use of anticholinergic drugs.

    Is this geared towards health professionals only?

    Thank you for your question. The content is mostly geared for healthcare professionals but I don’t use technical jargon and I think it might be useful for non-healthcare attendees.

    We would be happy if you wanted to attend.

    And I would be interested to talk to you after to see if you found it useful.
