Description
Every day there are countless inappropriately prescribed antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals. These powerful agents are far too often dosed incorrectly, inappropriately prescribed, and contribute to resistance, adverse drug events, and poor patient outcomes. However, anti-infective agents, when used correctly, can be life-saving.
In this course, Dr. Beth Cleavenger will review the most commonly used antibiotics, antifungals, and antivirals and how they are best used in clinical practice. This course will also provide a section on managing penicillin drug allergies, guidance for length of anti-infective therapy, use of probiotics, and antimicrobial stewardship.
If you’re a doctor using antibiotics, antifungals, or antivirals in your practice, then this course will certainly help answer many of your doubts and questions!
