Webinar Description
Update on the type, mechanism, and severity of drug interactions with other drugs, foods, and botanicals, as well as those nutrients depleted by taking these drugs. There are many serious accidental poisonings and overdose situations, which are often caused by a lack of knowledge of these interactions. The major groups of medications will be covered, along with the most common botanical medicines, taken by our patients. Pharmacogenomics and nutrients depleted by drugs play a significant aspect in the cause of side-effects and untoward reactions due to certain drugs. The major drug-induced nutrient depletions, the sequelae of the depletions, as well as the amount of vitamins and nutrients that need to be replaced will be discussed. Finally, we will review the interactions of the botanicals with each other, based upon pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, as well as the pharmacogenomic considerations.
