Episode 116 - Clozaril From the Patient Side of the Counter with Krista Samimi

Political Pharmacist Podcast

Have you ever had a system stand in your way that the solution could be just empowering the other person? Clozapine is medication that has it's own REMS program, and for good reason, but at what point does delaying the patient access due to this program cause more harm than it does protect them? Krista Samimi joins the podcast to discuss a recent experience she had with the Clozapine REMS program and a pharmacist, that she luckily was able to get solved before she ran out of medication. If nothing else, this episode shows why pharmacists need to be better empowered to help patients, given most do not feel that way these days.
