DUBAI (28-04-2026) – Prof. Sathvik B. Sridhar, a Professor of Pharmacy Practice at the College of Pharmacy, was invited as a Resource Person for the Clinical Pharmacy Discussion Group (CPDG) Webinar Series, organized by the Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA), Kerala State Branch, India.

Prof. Sathvik delivered a specialised session entitled “Renal Dose Matters: Clinical Challenges and Practical Strategies for Pharmacists,” addressing one of the most critical areas of clinical pharmacy practice — medication management in patients with renal impairment.

The session provided an in-depth exploration of drug dosing optimisation across a range of renal conditions, including chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and patients undergoing dialysis. Participants gained practical guidance on assessing kidney function, adjusting loading and maintenance doses, understanding drug dialyzability, timing doses in relation to renal replacement therapy, and applying therapeutic drug monitoring for high-risk medications such as antibiotics, antidiabetic agents, and vancomycin.

The webinar drew a diverse audience of pharmacy academicians, clinical and hospital pharmacists, postgraduate students, and CPDG members, fostering a rich environment for professional exchange and learning.

Drawing on guideline-based principles and real-world clinical case discussions, Prof. Sathvik underscored the indispensable role pharmacists play in enhancing medication safety, preventing drug-related toxicity, and delivering patient-centred care in the context of renal dysfunction.
