Expert speakers explored the real-world challenges of answering questions about the use of complementary products with conventional medicines, demonstrating how to use SPS resources to think holistically, weigh risk, and give clear, consistent advice, including when to escalate to SPS Medicines Advice service.
Why it’s important
Patients often turn to pharmacy teams first for advice on complementary products, yet the evidence is inconsistent, product quality varies, and no single resource gives a simple answer. This webinar is designed for pharmacy staff who receive questions about herbal products, supplements, and over the counter “wellness” items.
What was covered
- Explore the real-world challenges of answering questions about complementary products
- Learn how to use SPS and other free to access resources to structure thinking, weigh risk and give clear, consistent advice
