Description:

In this recording, you’ll learn proper prescribing, patient education and monitoring procedures for a variety of Drug regimens that are used to treat common chronic and acute infectious diseases. Given the number of antibacterial agents available, it can be difficult to find one. of The market for drugs and the emerging trend of bacterial resistance

Learn pharmacology of Different types of The treatment of infectious diseases in clinical practice is done with antimicrobials. Learn more about the spectrums of activity, pharmacokinetic characteristics, monitoring parameters and therapeutic outcomes. The emphasis is on new antimicrobials as well as advances in evidence.-Guidelines for treatment based on these principles. You will be better equipped to design cost-effective and appropriate treatments after watching this video.-For better therapeutic outcomes, effective drug regimens are required.
