Immunosuppressants: Beyond Glucocorticoids (2019)
Overview
Whilst glucocorticoids are likely to remain the mainstay of immunosuppressive treatment in veterinary patients for years to come, there have been interesting recent studies documenting the success of alternative immunosuppressive agents, either as first-line sole agents, or adjunctive treatments in the management of certain immune-mediated diseases. During this webinar, Anna will discuss evidence for and against immunosuppressive treatments that are available.
