According to the CDC over 48% of Americans are taking at least one prescription drug.  Understanding how these drugs interact with sedation medications is critical to patient safety 

In this course presented by DOCS Education Medical Director, Leslie Fang, MD, PhD, he discusses the mechanism of metabolism of drugs that are metabolized in the liver as well as the intestines.  The critical nature of the CYP450 enzyme system that is responsible for the metabolism of many drugs is broken down to help you recognize how drugs, including those used for sedation, work together and against each other.

  • Understand the role of the CYP450 in drug metabolism 

  • Recognize the critical actions of metabolism of drugs 

  • Learn how some supplements and juices can affect the CYP3A4 enzymes
