MAY 7TH at 12PM EST OR 7PM EST

Speaker: Kendra Davis, BS Pharmacy, PharmD, RPh, Associate Director, Medical Affairs

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a persistent and often misunderstood movement disorder associated with prolonged use of dopamine receptor blocking agents. It is estimated that more than 800,000 adults in the United States are affected by TD, yet approximately 60% remain undiagnosed.

In this special edition webinar, Kendra Davis, PharmD, will provide a comprehensive overview of TD, including current best practices for screening, timely diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment options. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the impact of TD on patients' quality of life and the importance of early recognition and intervention.

Join us for this informative session to enhance your clinical awareness and support better outcomes for individuals at risk of or living with tardive dyskinesia.
