Course Overview
We may not be able to predict all drug-herb interactions, but we can determine potentials for interactions. This one-hour webinar examines how to approach these potential drug-herb interactions.

A discussion of protein binding, cytochrome P450, and the therapeutic index form the foundation of this understanding. You will leave with real skills to assess potential interactions.

This webinar is based on Dr. Sperber's book Integrative Pharmacology: Combining Modern Pharmacology and Chinese Medicine, written with Bob Flaws.
Objective
  • To understand the basics of how drugs and herbs interact.
  • To identify the most common pharmacological reasons drugs and herbs interact.
  • Create protocols to avoid interactions.

    What People Are Saying

    This course was an excellent overview of how to safely and effectively work with clients who are on medications and want to take herbs.

    Adrianna L.- United States of America

    This class was super informative and in a short amount of time! I appreciated teacher's depth of knowledge and how succinctly the most important elements were distilled. I feel much more capable of having clear and confidence inspiring conversations with patients on why I would or wouldn't feel comfortable putting them on herbs.

    Nicole L.- United States of America

    This is a great introduction to necessary steps for HDI. It gives the foundation on how to discuss HDI with patients. It can also help discuss with allopathic practitioners in a language they understand, which can further herbal medicine acceptance and understanding. All in 1 hour. Hard to beat.

    Brent G.- United States of America

    Great overview.

    Nancy B.- United States of America

    Easy to follow and factual information. Very practical.

    Maria C.- Australia

    Good course for acupuncturists who prescribe herbs

    Hoon L.- United States of America

    A valuable introduction.

    Christopher L.- United States of America

    Great course with good information.

    John T.- United States

    Great refresher on Pharmacology. Quick easy steps to remember when dealing with the patient and their drug regime

    Kathy K.- Canada

    I really appreciated this course. Even though I don't use herbs, I feel way more informed after this one hour lecture than any other herb/drug interaction course I have taken for the last 17 years.

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
