Hepatology Drug Interactions@hepinteractions.bsky.social · last wk.

This #WorldHepatitisDay did you know you can access our drug interaction database to check antivirals for Hep B, C, and D against over a thousand different comedications.... for free! And we also have translations in Portuguese and Spanish hep-druginteractions.org

Liverpool HEP Drug Interactions

We provide a clinically useful, reliable, comprehensive, up-to-date, evidence-based drug-drug interaction resource, freely available to healthcare workers, patients and researchers.

👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 Great to see so many visitors at 'Meet the Scientists' event yesterday by @livuniengagehls.bsky.social at World Museum in Liverpool! 🦠 Enjoyed supporting @therexuol.bsky.social who ran a great set of 'Menacing Microbes & Magnificent Medicines' activities. 🔗: www.liverpool.ac.uk/health-and-l...

Activity involving giant microbes and different therapeutics (antibiotics, antivirals, vaccines).Wheel that visitors could spin. Had different segments labelled with different pathogens.Chart of 'Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR): expected values for children'. Plots PEFR against height.Catching infections. Infections are caused by microbes such as bacteria and viruses which are almost unimaginably small and are everywhere. Sometimes we can have an infection and not know about it. Some infections make us feel a bit unwell, whereas others make us very sick and some may even kill us. How dangerous infections are depends on many factors. Some infections such as the common cold can be easy to catch, but do not make you very ill. Some infections can make you very ill, but are difficult to catch. The most dangerous infections are ones that are easy to catch, cause serious illness and cannot be prevented or treated. Vaccines are a way of preventing infections. If you have been vaccinated against an infection, you are less likely to catch that infection if you come into contact with it. Medicines can be used to kill microbes in your body and stop the infection. For some infections, there are no medicines to kill the microbes, but there are medicines to treat the symptoms of the infection, such as ointments and lotions to stop itching or medicines to reduce your temperature. Some microbes can be very sneaky and change so that medicines no longer work – this is called resistance. If you are given a medicine to treat and infection, it is important to take all the medicine otherwise resistance can develop.

We loved seeing all the new medicines being made and chatting about how medication helps our bodies fight infection. @lizchallenger.bsky.social @drbthompson.bsky.social @helener3.bsky.social @livuni-ismib.bsky.social

We were back at @evertoninthecommunity.org today for a special summer edition of our Toddler Science Club with the @therexuol.bsky.social team. We had fun learning all about medicines with our mini scientists! @livunihls.bsky.social

A clinical trial is underway in Liverpool to tackle one of the world’s deadliest parasitic diseases, visceral leishmaniasis. The study is testing a new oral treatment that could replace painful daily injections & save thousands of lives in low-income regions ⬇️ news.liverpool.ac.uk/2025/04/24/l...
