Seven Steps to Avoiding Drug-Herb Interactions
We may not be able to predict all drug-herb interactions, but we can determine potentials for interactions. This seminar examines an easy way to approach these potential drug-herb interactions using 7 straight-forward steps. A discussion of protein binding, cytochrome P450, and the therapeutic index, form the foundation of this understanding. This is a must take seminar to protect your patients and yourself.
This seminar is based on my book published by Blue Poppy: Integrative Pharmacology, Combining modern pharmacology and Chinese medicine written with Bob Flaws.
This webinar will take place May 30 and November 21, 2021 from 1-2pm.
Course Goals
A listener will be able to:
1. Understand the basics of how drugs and herbs interact
2. Identify the most common pharmacological reasons drugs and-herbs interact
