Drug-Herb Interactions - Course 8
Course Overview
This seminar explores drugs used to treat several common conditions in the population and in acupuncturist offices. These include thyroid conditions, diabetes (both type I and II), as well as auto-immune and inflammatory conditions. In addition to drugs to treat these conditions, we will also be exploring drugs used to treat the pituitary and inhibitors of adrenocorticoids. After a review of the hypothalamus and pituitary and their hormones, each of the endocrine organs and their hormones will be examined for practical implications in modern medicine. Herb-drug and acupuncture-drug interactions will be explored for each type of drug. If you treat any of these conditions, and/or tumors and cancers affecting the thyroid, pituitary, or adrenals, this is a must attend seminar.Course Objectives
- Understand how endocrine drugs and herbs interact.
- Identify the most common endocrine drugs with potential for drug-herb interactions.
- Explore how major endocrine drugs act on the body.
- Protect oneself from potential medico-legal issues arising from interactions.
