Target Audiences

This course is for undergraduate, postgraduate and professionals in the medical, pharmacy, biomedical or life sciences field.

The first section of the course sets the foundation for subsequent contents. A basic understanding of the pharmacokinetics principles will enable further understanding on how drug interactions can occur. Students will be introduced to topics on drug absorption, drug metabolism, drug distribution and drug excretion (ADME). There are a total of 16 short videos (1 hr and 27 min).

Once students are comfortable with the basic concepts of pharmacokinetics, they will move on to the 2nd section, where they will be introduced to the principles of drug interactions and the common mechanisms involved. Students will explore terms and concepts such as first pass metabolism, metabolic enzymes, intestinal and renal tubule drug transporters. There are a total of 7 short videos (56 min).

In the last section, students will move on to the principles and commonly encountered examples of drug-herb interactions. There are a total of 8 videos (49 min).

Students will learn drug information skills including utilisation of certain drug-herb interaction online databases and references to enhance the ability to assess the relevance of drug interaction reports. They will be able to find reliable information and make practical decision-making in the management and prevention of drug-herb interactions either as a health care professional, consumer or a member of the herbal medicine industry.

Students are encouraged to work independently as well as to participate in the assignment and short quizzes. Students are also encouraged to ask questions. The facilitator would be glad to help or assist.
