OVERVIEW
With the ever-increasing market of herbal and alternative medications, today’s
dental practitioner must be ready not only to recognize what these medications
are, but what their impact is on medications
that we may choose to prescribe for our patients. In addition, an understanding
of the potential interactions and side effects of these alternative medications
may be helpful in light of the steadily increasing use of these products. Particular
emphasis will be on the use, side
effects, and interactions these products have not only on the more frequently
prescribed dental medications, but also on some of the more frequently prescribed
medications our patients may be on.
OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, you will learn:
•
An overview of some of today’s more common herbal and alternative supplements.
•
Begin to review what the literature knows as the impact these products may have
on the
management of our dental patients.
