New drugs in your respiratory patients – are you up to date? Professor Emma Baker Professor of Clinical Pharmacology St George's, University of London
Learning outcomes Update on new medicines likely to be taken by patients with respiratory disease –Efficacy mechanism of action place in therapy –Safety main side effects respiratory side effects –Acceptability route of administration –Cost new drugs are more expensive than old ones so use them wisely!!
