Course Overview
This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on March 3, 2025 - 5am AWST, 8am AEDT, 10am NZDT.
This seminar will spend quite a bit of time discussing antivirals used to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), coronavirus, herpes, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and some hepatitises. Additionally, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and anthelminthic (anti-worm) agents will be discussed. These discussions will, by necessity, also include life cycles of many of these of these pathogens. Within each type of agent, we will examine functions, red flag issues, mechanisms of action, adverse effects, and any potential interactions. This will be a fascinating exploration of some frequently treated conditions by Chinese medical practitioners as well as some that are quite uncommon. They may be uncommon, but they are still very interesting.
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
