Optimizing heart failure therapy involves both medication selection and dose titration.

The RxFiles Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction Drug Comparison Chart highlights medications with evidence for reducing mortality and heart failure hospitalizations.

It also provides practical information to support implementation, including:
- Initial doses
- Heart failure target doses
- Suggested titration timelines
- Adverse effects and monitoring
- Drug interactions
- Cost and coverage considerations
- Key evidence supporting place in therapy

Adding evidence-based therapies is an important part of heart failure care. When tolerated, titrating medications toward the doses used in clinical trials or the highest tolerated dose can help ensure therapy is meaningfully optimized.

The appropriate pace of titration depends on clinical status, blood pressure, heart rate, kidney function, electrolytes, tolerability, and the medication being used.

August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month.

For healthcare providers, this can be a helpful reminder that medication review may be part of assessing symptoms such as nausea, early satiety, bloating, constipation, or delayed gastric emptying.

Medication classes to consider may include:
- GLP-1 receptor agonists
- Opioids
- Anticholinergic medications
- Tricyclic antidepressants
- Other medications that may affect GI motility

Medication-related GI effects can be nuanced. Assessing indication, benefit, dose, duration, symptom timing, alternatives, and patient goals can help support practical clinical decision-making.

August 12 is International Youth Day.

Medication conversations with adolescents and young adults can involve unique clinical considerations. Healthcare providers may be balancing treatment goals, safety, monitoring, adherence, privacy, caregiver involvement when appropriate, cost, access, and patient preferences.

A helpful RxFiles navigation tip: dark blue shading in RxFiles charts usually indicates adolescent-related recommendations.

This colour coding can help healthcare providers quickly identify information that may be relevant when prescribing, dispensing, or counselling for adolescents.

RxFiles resources are designed to help support practical, evidence-informed conversations at the point of care.

Anticholinergic burden can add up quickly, especially in older adults.

The Geri-RxFiles Anticholinergic Chart is designed to help healthcare providers identify medications with potential anticholinergic activity and support medication review conversations.

This section of the Geri-RxFiles includes a reference list of common medications with potential anticholinergic effects, organized by medication class, with anticholinergic burden scoring and practical notes.

The accompanying infographic presents anticholinergic medications in a more visual format, making it a helpful tool for team discussions, education, and deprescribing conversations.

Anticholinergic review may be especially relevant when assessing concerns such as cognition, falls, constipation, urinary retention, dry mouth, blurred vision, sedation, or overall medication burden.

RxFiles chart spotlight: Topical Corticosteroids Comparison Chart

Selecting a topical corticosteroid can be more nuanced than choosing a potency class.

The RxFiles Topical Corticosteroids Comparison Chart is designed to support healthcare providers with practical point-of-care decisions. The chart includes creams, ointments, gels, lotions, solutions, foams, shampoos, sprays, and oils.

The chart helps compare:
- Potency class
- Cost
- Product size
- Formulation and vehicle
- Quantity needed based on application instructions
- Place in therapy for different corticosteroid potencies

This can be especially helpful when considering factors such as application site, skin thickness, degree of inflammation, lesion type, cosmetic acceptability, patient preference, and duration of treatment.

A practical resource for primary care, pharmacy practice, dermatology-related prescribing, and medication counselling.
