20 CE hours for $24.00
June 8, 2008
Joe Medina at TechLectures is running a special for his MySpace members, where you can get 20 CE credits for only $24.00. That is two years worth of credits required for recertification by the PTCB.
I am sure this is a limited time offer, advertised only for the members of his “RX Tech Talk” MySpace group. But, if you are not a member, just ask nicely… tell him I sent you. He’ll probably give you the deal anyway.
It’s a bargain if you ask me. Sure, I link to Pharmacy CE’s on powerpak. But just how usefull are most of them to today’s technician? Mr. Mendina composed these lessons with the tech in mind. So you are sure to get something out of it.

CE: Pharmacist responsibilities regarding Medication Guides

Not too many TECH Specific CE’s out there for me to point you to. Even if the credit won’t apply (it might), this one is worth a look.
The amount of drug products requiring a Medication Guide has dramatically increased since the program began in 1998. From Anti-Depressants to NSAIDs, It is important for pharmacists to be aware of their responsibilities under the Medication Guide program.

With the new release of a generic version of Ambien, I bring you this C.E.:
Newer Options in the Management of Insomnia
The FDA has granted final approval for the release of the generic version of Ambien. The drug, zolpidem tartrate, is a nonbenzodiazepine hypnotic, otherwise known as a sleeping pill. The tablets, which are shipping immediately, are in 5 mg and 10 mg doses.
Last year, Ambien had U.S. sales of approximately $2.2 billion for the same dosages
Zolpidem tartrate has been linked to several risks, including “Sleep Driving” that we have read about in previous posts.
Aside: I am sorry for the lack of updates. The main computer that CPhTLink.com runs from has broken down for good. A temporary solution has been worked out, and a new Intel Mac is on the way.
