Over the past 20+ years, new therapies for IBD and IBS continue to be approved and strategies for the management of these (very different) disease states continue to evolve. This presentation will help practitioners understand the differences between IBD and IBS, as well as the differences in treatment options for ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The emergence of numerous monoclonal antibodies have changed the landscape of how we manage patients with IBD, eliminating long-standing challenges like steroid-dependence, but have created new challenges in how we monitor these potentially toxic medications. New drugs for IBS are continually being developed and this presentation will explore how these medications work as well as their current role in the management of IBS.
Credits: 1.50 contact hours; 1.50 are pharmacology
