Activity Description

This is a featured CE activity on the Center for Specialty Pharmacy Education (CSPE) website. CSPE is the educational hub of the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP). Most CSPE activities include the pathophysiology and clinical therapeutics of various disease states in which specialty pharmacy products and services are provided. CSPE also covers legal, regulatory and operational topics relevant to specialty pharmacy practice.

Parkinson’s disease is a multifactorial disorder, and its management requires both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies. Pharmacologic therapies include drugs that each require specific administration and titration schedules and a successful disease management also requires a close relationship between healthcare providers including pharmacists and nurses. The focus of this activity is to provide an overview of the Parkinson’s disease, stages of the disease progression, current and future therapies. The activity also reviews challenges to medication adherence as well as strategies to improve it.

Target Audience

The target audience for this activity includes pharmacists and nurses.
