It is essential for pharmacists across settings to understand the different treatment options and dosing regimens, implement methods to improve patient adherence, educate other health care team members, and counsel patients during onboarding and ongoing treatment to manage potential adverse effects associated with these agents to optimize patient care and outcomes.
