Hello! I’m Dr. Simpson, a clinical pharmacist. I specialize in using medications to treat diseases such as ASCVD.

 

I understand that Dr. Wright has given you some information and tools for assessing ASCVD risk factors. She mentioned to me that you are now able to determine if a patient should be given medication for hypertension and high blood cholesterol.

 

Today, I’d like you to explore this topic a bit further by studying the different types of medications available for treating hypertension and cholesterol. You’ll also explore what pharmacology research has revealed about matching medications to patient characteristics. Many people don’t realize that, when it comes to medication, one size doesn’t fit all. We need to be very careful about giving the right medication to each patient.
