1. Keeping You Connected

   I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know of an important study recently published in SAGE Open Medical Case Reports related to Paxlovid, a drug used to treat Covid-19, Shore Medical Center Critical Care Attending Physician Dr. Farhan Qadeer, MD, published this study along with Elizabeth DeMarco, PharmD, BCPS, Brian Clarke, PharmD, and Matthew Turnipseed, PharmD of Shore Medical Center.

   “The findings of this study are extremely significant because this is the first known case of symptomatic bradycardia caused by administering nirmatrelvir/ritonavir to a patient who was not taking other medications or immune-compromised,” said Dr. Qadeer. “This finding is significant for medical professionals and patients, as well as for Shore Medical Center, a community hospital caring for patients in South Jersey.”

   As always, I am here to help connect you to any of our providers, in person or remotely. Thank you for all the work you continue to do in our community and have a happy and safe summer season!
