We have the World Cup coming to the Boston area this June, which is exciting but presents challenges with large international crowds coming to the area. Some specific medication related challenges we are anticipating includes: language barriers, inability to produce language-specific prescription labeling, differences in dosing/indications for high risk meds like anticoagulants/DOACs/insulin, differences in renal dosing between US and international countries, name confusion between US and international brand/generic names, etc. We have an organizational approach to preparedness and will be making some recommendations around above topics. Would love to hear what others with World Cup matches near them may be doing to prepare and what medication-related scenarios you are preparing for. Thanks!
