  Overview

There are new treatment options for PAH that have come to market and can be beneficial to certain patients. Pharmacists and nurses may encounter patients who have this condition. It is important that pharmacists and nurses understand the appropriate use of the relevant medications and know how to identify side effects or risks. This session seeks to explore these topics, focusing on how this information can best be incorporated into daily medical practice.
