Course overview

This 1-hour credit course is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education and approved by the Florida Board of Pharmacy. A migraine can cause severe, debilitating, and persistent pain that can last for hours or days. Although several therapeutics are available to stop migraine attacks after they are already underway and some drugs include migraine prevention among several approved indications, the newer class of CGRP-targeted drugs is the first to be specifically designed for the preventive treatment of migraine, marking a significant new era of migraine therapeutics. There are a number of cGRP migraine treatment agents currently on the market and it may be difficult for clinicians to distinguish between the agents and there is confusion on the differences between agents. This activity reviews all cGRP FDA approved treatments for migraines, highlights the differences between agents, and provides strategies for clinicians to overcome medication access barriers related to these agents. This self-paced course is available online through any device with internet access. There are unlimited test attempts and no time limit for completion. Credits will be reported automatically to CE Broker if your license information is entered properly in your profile. Email info@achievece.com to have your credits reported to CPE Monitor.
