Contributions of pharmaceutical interventions to the multidisciplinary dysphagia team: A retrospective observational study
Pharmaceutical interventions may offer clinically meaningful contributions when utilized for patients with dysphagia, supporting the relevance of pharmacovigilance regarding the risks of dopamine antagonists. The findings of this study suggest the importance of reinstating pharmaceutical expertise to multidisciplinary dysphagia teams, as pharmacists provide clinically significant medication optimization, including identifying additional optimization opportunities through systematic medication reviews among vulnerable populations.
