SC)C()I1d (ier){~ral S(~SSiOI1 Working Toward More Job Satisfaction-A National Survey of Phanllacist Working Conditions Wednesday, March 19, 9:30AM-ll :30AM

Presenters: Valentine Cardinale and Martha Glaser; Keynote Speaker: David Schmidt ecent trends suggest that while demand for the pharmacist's products and services is increasing, the shortage of available personnel is sadly rising. Add to this the fact that pharmacists play such a critical role in . the success of a pharmacy, and it is easy to see why so much attention has recently been focused on pharmacist job satisfaction. Intended for all pharmacists concerned about job satisfaction, this session takes a look at potential sources and signals of dissatisfaction and how pharmacists can deal with them, the role of supervision in motivating professionals, and ways to develop management skills in listening, counseling, and coaching . The Second General Session is made possible by Drug Topics and The /Upjohn Company.

The first transdermal patch for hypertension, which delivers clonidine with the ease of once-aweek application (Catapres-TTSBoehringer Ingelheim) is now commercially available. The new dosage form is indicated for patients with mild to moderate hypertension. Oral therapy for high blood pressure often fails because patients don't take their daily doses as prescribed.

Catapres-ITS resembles a small adhesive bandage. Patients wear it during normal activities, including bathing and swimming. The patch consist~offour layersan impermeable backing, a drug reservoir, a special membrane, and an adhesive. The membrane permi ts a steady "preprogrammed" flow of medication through the skin into the bloodstream (0.1, 0.2, or 0.3 mg of clonidine per day). The

body absorbs the drug at a controlled rate. However, Catapres-TTS is not suitable for all patients. Some may require a different drug or get a temporary rash when they wear the patch (in clinical trials, after a mean duration of 24 weeks, contact dermatitis was observed in 16% of patients). Other side effects such as drowsiness and dry mouth may also occur. ®
