Course Description:
Integrative medicine combines conventional medical treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies to address the physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences on health. Further, patients come to integrative practitioners with existing prescriptions, and we are seeing an increase in the off-label use of certain medications. This lecture provides an overview of the top prescription medications that we see our patients being prescribed, emphasizing the evidence behind their use, potential benefits, and prescribing considerations including side effects and contraindications. Therapeutics we will cover involve care in the areas of longevity, chronic inflammatory/autoimmune, cancer and metabolic health. We will also explore the medico-legal aspects of off-label prescribing and key components of collaborative care when managing patients who are working with other providers with these prescriptions. Finally, we will try to reconcile how prescription medications can fit within the philosophical framework of naturopathic medicine.
