Exhibitors

Currently, patients, caregivers, and families are dealing with the impact of COVID-19 on their physical and mental health. Providers have shared that some Parkinson’s patients are dealing with a higher level of stress and anxiety due to the pandemic. Social isolation and long hours at home may also have magnified or exacerbated some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s Hallucinations and Delusions.

NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin) is the only medicine FDA-approved to reduce the frequency and/or severity of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis. Please visit our website for more information about how you can improve your patients' quality of life.

Iowa's medical cannabis program recently updated!

Gov. Reynolds made significant improvements to the program in July 2020 by adding additional certifiers. ARNPs, PAs, and Podiatrists are now able to sign patient applications. Other big updates added are new approved conditions such as chronic pain (arthritis for example) and PTSD, as well as removal of the 3% THC cap allowing for new product formulations such as THC vapes.

Learn more about Iowa's Medical Cannabis program, including provider FAQs and how to get a card, by visiting the MedPharm Iowa website.
