SUMMARY:Pre-Con 1: Current Topics in Women’s Health Pharmacology
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Heidi Fantasia\, Michelle Flanagan \nThis session provides an in-depth review of pharmacological management strategies for two areas that affect women across the lifespan. We will discuss management of perinatal mental health conditions\, with a specific focus on depression and anxiety and symptomatic patients in the menopause transition. Participants will explore evidence-based approaches to the treatment of perinatal mental health conditions\, including during preconception\, pregnancy\, postpartum and lactation. Implications for maternal and fetal outcomes will be reviewed.  Evidence-based approaches to menopausal care will include non-hormonal treatments\, hormone therapy\, and adjunct therapies for managing bothersome symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms\, genitourinary syndrome of menopause\, sleep concerns\, irregular menses and mood changes. Emphasis will be placed on individualizing patient care with shared decision making and counseling on risks and benefits. This session will help build confidence in using evidence-based practice in managing women’s health during the childbearing and midlife years.
