Antibiotic Prescribing: Controversy or Consensus?

Product Details

Karen Baker, R.Ph., MS & Gordon J. Christensen, DDS, MSD, PhD

Do you need to prescribe antibiotics for endo, implants, or impactions?  When is prescribing mandatory, and when is it elective?  What should you know about the threat of “superbugs” and how they will soon influence your patients?  Should you prescribe a partial or full dose?  All of us have had the education to prescribe responsibly, but treatment standards are changing constantly.  Therefore, regular education is required to stay up-to-date.  Karen Baker, a well-known clinical pharmacist and popular speaker, helps you upgrade your knowledge about antibiotics available today, their current dosage requirements, and potential drug interactions.  Serve your patients and optimize their treatment by making the best antibiotic decisions by today’s standards.
