In this episode, Rachel Cole, PharmD, walks us through the evolving landscape of restless leg syndrome management, highlighting why dopamine agonists are no longer first-line therapy and what that means for clinical practice.
You’ll learn about the importance of checking for iron deficiency, practical non-drug interventions, and alternative medications like gabapentin and pregabalin.
Rachel shares actionable tips for educating patients, managing tricky cases, and staying up to date with the latest sleep medicine guidelines, so you can take confident steps forward in caring for patients with RLS.
