November 2021 - Drugs to avoid, penicillin allergy and a new drug for osteoporosis

In this podcast, James Cave (Editor-in-Chief) and David Phizackerley (Deputy Editor) provide an overview of the November issue of DTB. They discuss a French initiative that identifies a range of drugs that should not be prescribed (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/59/11/162) and talk about the difficulty of assessing whether patients' penicillin allergy records are correct (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/59/11/163). They also review an article on the use of romosozumab for osteoporosis (https://dtb.bmj.com/content/59/11/169). They begin by highlighting DTB's blog for World Evidence-Based Healthcare Day (https://worldebhcday.org/) on the role of independent drug bulletins during an info-demic.
