Ep 054 - Do-It-Yourself Prescriptions?!

Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) takes on 2 different new studies that have huge implications for every element of family medicine! First, researchers have shown most people can accurately self-prescribe statins (read: cholesterol lowering drugs) WITHOUT a doctor... but is this a good idea? Next, Dante breaks down a fantastic study about getting the most of your mixed exercise programs. Is there an ideal way to train?

Behind the Counter: "biosimilar" drugs (effectively generics) generally cost a bit less to produce, but unfortunately those savings doesn't seem to getting passed down to the consumer. What gives?
