Treatments for Sleep-Related Pain

Christie Ballantyne, MD, says high extension enrollment and a single 20-mg daily dose are encouraging signs for patient adherence to oral enlicitide.

An ASRA-recognized quality improvement project draws attention to injectate reproducibility, offering a starting point for examining medication preparation and pharmacists’ role in safer pain procedures.

A meta-analysis presented at IDWeek 2026 found responses were stronger after chemotherapy but waned within a year, supporting a 2-dose strategy.

Pharmacists can strengthen opioid safety through individualized counseling, overdose prevention, and coordinated follow-up that keeps patients involved in treatment decisions.

Christie Ballantyne, MD, explains how the CORALreef Extension study adds safety exposure and shows LDL-C lowering with oral enlicitide is sustained over time.

The glucagon/GLP-1 dual agonist did not raise major adverse cardiovascular event risk in adults with obesity, but GI-related discontinuations were high.

Post hoc AHA 2026 data show the oral GLP-1 receptor agonist lowered systolic blood pressure across hypertension stages, partly beyond weight loss.
