Infertility Management and Pharmacotherapy: What Every Pharmacist Should Know
JOURNAL OF PHARMACY PRACTICE(2021)
Abstract
Infertility is a significant public health concern in the United States. As such, utilization of infertility services, including pharmacotherapeutic treatments, is prevalent, and the role of the pharmacist as part of the health care team is essential. Pharmacists can assist patients by providing education on infertility causes, risk factor mitigation, referrals, nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic management options, navigation of the prescription process, and resource availability for the significant financial burden accompanying infertility treatment. In-depth pharmacotherapeutic information may not be readily available to pharmacists dispensing and counseling on these medications, and infertility management regimens are often varied and complicated requiring more in-depth counseling on use and administration. Given the complexity of infertility management, pharmacists are a valuable patient support and education resource. This article provides an in-depth review of infertility management strategies, both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic.
