H2 Blockers – Test Prep and Practice Pearls
About this episode
This episode reviews H2 blockers, their mechanisms, comparisons, and clinical applications in managing acid-related disorders.
H2 blockers may not receive as much attention as proton pump inhibitors, but they continue to play an important role in managing acid-related disorders. In this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, we’ll review how H2 blockers work, compare the available agents, discuss important adverse effects, renal dose adjustments, drug interactions, and identify the patients who are most likely to benefit from these medications. Whether you’re a pharmacist, nurse, pharmacy technician, physician, or student, this episode provides practical clinical pearls you can apply immediately to patient care. In this episode, I also discuss a new podcast I discovered – go check out the Mechanism of Action Podcast ! It is an entertaining and educational look at how many of the medications used today were discovered and derived.
