CorConsult Rx: Evidence-Based Medicine and Pharmacy


Jun 30, 2021

On this episode, we discuss treating community-acquired pneumonia. We start with the outpatient treatment options based on the 2019 IDSA CAP guidelines. We also discuss managing a patient that has been admitted. We review some reasons to use more broad-spectrum empiric therapy, and close by mentioning the new Prevnar 20 vaccine. 

We want to thank the sponsor of this episode, Pyrls. Pyrls is a new drug information (for healthcare professionals or students only) resource for the next-generation of healthcare providers to learn about commonly prescribed medications. Quickly learn or reference counseling points, clinical pearls, comparison charts, and much more by visiting their website or by downloading the mobile app for iOS or Android.

Right now, Pyrls is offering a free chart bundle to all of our podcast listeners and Instagram followers. All you have to do is visit the website www.pyrls.com/corconsultrx. The downloadable PDF contains 10 different charts and reference guides. They cover the A1c lowering abilities of the various medication classes, provide some kinetics for the different insulins, compare and contrast CV safety data for the newer treatment classes, list storage and stability information, and so much more! You are not obligated to purchase a subscription to Pyrls. The charts are a free gift for simply checking out the site.
