Information for Healthcare Professionals (Drugs) > FDA Drug Info Rounds


FDA Drug Info Rounds is a series of training videos for practicing clinical and community pharmacists. Drug Info Rounds is brought to you by pharmacists in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), Office of Communications (OCOMM), Division of Drug Information (DDI). Pharmacists in DDI answer hundreds of questions everyday about drug products and FDA actions. Our goal is to provide important and timely drug information to pharmacists so they can help patients make better medication decisions.
In this third video, FDA Drug Info Rounds pharmacists discuss FDA's revision of the prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) labels for proton pump inhibitors to include new safety information about a possible increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, and spine with the use of these medications. They mention strengths and limitations of the studies and provide recommendations for pharmacists.
