Overview
This Grand round session with a title “Review of Conventional and Complementary Approaches in the Management of Alcohol Intoxication” will be presented by the department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science, Mbarara University of Science and Technology and Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH).
The management of alcohol intoxication necessitates a robust integration of emergency clinical protocols and phytotherapeutic interventions to ensure rapid detoxification and organ protection. Conventional medicine focuses on hemodynamic stabilization, electrolyte correction, and the administration of thiamine to prevent permanent neurological damage. Parallel to this, pharmacognostic approaches utilize bioactive compounds from plants like Silybum marianum and Pueraria lobata to enhance the liver's metabolic clearance of acetaldehyde and reduce
oxidative stress.
The presentation will use a case-based approach to explore the clinical understanding and management of patients presenting with acute and chronic alcohol intoxication. A brief overview of key pitfall in pharmacological management of alcohol withdraw syndrome.
