Seven Steps to Avoid Herb-Drug Interactions
Greg Sperber examines the 7 steps to avoid herb-drug interactions.
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.

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

Nicole 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.
