Dentists must know side effects of drugs

KARACHI: Associate professor and CPSP supervisor at Hamdard Dental College, Dr. Syed Abrar Ali, recently delivered a lecture on medication relating to inflammation and swelling. In his lecture on the importance of prescribing medicines in the case of inflammation, he urged the dentists to have complete knowledge of medicines’ side effects before prescribing them and one way of remembering these are CME activities which, he added, must be a part of every dental institute. The session was followed by a question-answer session. Students, house officers, faculty members and FCPS trainees of Hamdard Dental College attended the session.-PR
