15 on COVID-19 03/30/2020 - ACE-I & ARBs

Activity Preview

Many patients have heard that ACE-inhibitors or ARBs may make COVID-19 disease worse, in the event of infection. They are asking their pharmacists and healthcare providers if it’s safe to stay on ACE-inhibitor or ARB therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Do you have the answers you need to answer patients’ questions? Join us for today’s episode of 15 on COVID-19 while we explore potential connections between ACE-inhibitor/ARB therapy and COVID-19 disease. As always, we’ll work to separate fact, hypothesis and fiction to help you navigate the ongoing flood of information about COVID-19.
