Meet Dr. Sue Ojageer | Clinical Pharmacist, Concierge Healthcare Practitioner, Precision Medicine Specialist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Sue Ojageer and we’ve shared our conversation below. Hi Dr. Sue, what was your thought process behind starting your own business? Throughout my years of working, with the majority of it being a community pharmacist, I’ve noticed a change in my profession, especially in the retail setting. I chose to become a pharmacist because I wanted to be the most accessible healthcare professional for my patients. Many brick-and-mortar locations are scaling back in terms of attainable patient focused outcomes. Patients are still looking for a genuine patient -practitioner relationship with their pharmacist. They want that dedicated time to review their medications, and they’re very appreciative of my passion in up-keeping this mentality.

Dupixent (dupilumab) is an injectable medication used to treat moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, in adults and children 6 years and older.

9 ways pharmacy technician roles are changing

The role of pharmacy technicians has undergone a metamorphosis in recent years.

How much is Omnipod without insurance?

Omnipod is a brand-name medical device. It is an automated insulin delivery (AID) system that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the management of both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. The cost of the Omnipod system without insurance depends on the model: Omnipod 5 costs $797 for 1 box of 10 pods, whereas Omnipod Dash costs $767 for 1 box of 10 pods. Although there are no generic or over-the-counter alternatives, there are ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost for Omnipod. Is there a generic for Omnipod? Currently, there is no generic for Omnipod, according to Sue Ojageer, Pharm.D., founder of Pharmacy Mentors and a 2022 Best of the Best Pharmacy Awards winner. “Unfortunately, there is no direct, lower-cost generic equivalent for the Omnipod system because it is a specialized device rather than a drug,” she explains.

Propranolol for tremors

Propranolol is a generic beta blocker sold under the brand names Inderal, InnoPran, and Hemangeol. Beta blockers are most often used to treat high blood pressure, but propranolol is also approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat essential tremor (ET). “Essential tremor is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary and rhythmic shaking,” explains Raj Singh MD, a primary care physician at HEALOR in Las Vegas. He says that while this movement disorder usually affects the hands, it can also cause head tremors, voice tremors, or shaking of other muscles or upper limbs. Like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor is progressive. Unlike Parkinson’s, essential tremor does not cause other types of dysfunction. Because of its effectiveness in the treatment of ET, propranolol is sometimes prescribed off-label to treat shakiness from performance anxiety or panic attacks. Here’s what you need to know about propranolol for treating ET, including the typical dosage and what to expect when taking it.
