Ceftin Therapeutic: anti-infectives Pharmacologic: second-generation cephalosporins Bind to bacterial cell wall membrane, causing cell death. Therapeutic Effects: Bactericidal action against susceptible bacteria. Spectrum: Similar to that of first-generation cephalosporins but have ↑ activity against several other gram-negative pathoge Contraindicated in: Hypersensitivity to cephalosporins Serious hypersensitivity to penicillins. Use Cautiously in: Renal impairment (↓ dose/↑ dosing interval recommended for: cefotetan if CCr ≤ 30 ml/min, cefoxitin if CCr ≤ 50 ml/min, cefprozil if CNS: SEIZURES (HIGH DOSES). GI: PSEUDOMEMBRANOUS COLITIS, diarrhea,, cramps, nausea, vomiting. Derm: rashes, urticaria. Hemat: agranulocytosis, bleeding (↑ with cefotetan and cefoxitin), eosinophilia, hemolytic anemia, neutropenia , thrombocytopenia
Penicillin Therapeutic: anti-infectives Pharmacologic: penicillins Bind to bacterial cell wall, resulting in cell death. Therapeutic Effects: Bactericidal action against susceptible bacteria. Spectrum: Active against: Most gram-positive organisms, including many streptococci (Streptococcus pneumoniae, group A beta-hemo Previous hypersensitivity to penicillins (cross-sensitivity may exist with cephalosporins and other beta-lactams) Hypersensitivity to procaine or benzathine (procaine and benzathine preparations only) Some products may contain tartrazine and should be CNS: SEIZURES. GI: diarrhea, epigastric distress, nausea, vomiting, pseudomembranous colitis. GU: interstitial nephritis. Derm: rashes, urticaria. Hemat: eosinophilia, hemolytic anemia, leukopenia. Local: pain at IM site, phlebitis at IV site. Mis
Demerol Therapeutic: opioid analgesics Pharmacologic: opioid agonists Binds to opiate receptors in the CNS. Alters the perception of and response to painful stimuli, while producing generalized CNS depression. . Therapeutic Effects: Decrease in severity of pain. CNS: SEIZURES, confusion, sedation, dysphoria, euphoria, floating feeling, hallucinations, headache, unusual dreams. EENT: blurred vision, diplopia, miosis. Resp: respiratory depression. CV: hypotension, bradycardia. GI: constipation, nausea, vomi Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity to bisulfites (some injectable products) Pregnancy or lactation (chronic use) Recent (14-21 days) MAO inhibitor therapy. Use Cautiously in: Head trauma Increased intracranial pressure Severe renal, hepatic,
transdermal nitroglycerin patch Therapeutic: antianginals Pharmacologic: nitrates Increases coronary blood flow by dilating coronary arteries and improving collateral flow to ischemic regions. Produces vasodilation (venous greater than arterial). Decreases left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic v CNS: dizziness, headache, apprehension, restlessness, weakness. EENT: blurred vision. CV: hypotension, tachycardia, syncope. GI: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting. Derm: contact dermatitis (transdermal or ointment). Misc: alcohol intoxication (la Hypersensitivity Severe anemia Pericardial tamponade Constrictive pericarditis Alcohol intolerance (large IV doses only) Concurrent use of sildenafil. Use Cautiously in: Head trauma or cerebral hemorrhage Glaucoma Hypertrophic cardiomyopa
Midazolam (Versed) benzodiazepines antianxiety agents, sedative/hypnotics Acts at many levels of the CNS to produce generalized CNS depression. Effects may be mediated by GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Therapeutic Effects: Short-term sedation. Postoperative amnesia *CAPITALS indicate life threatening; underlines indicate most frequent. CNS: agitation, drowsiness, excess sedation, headache. EENT: blurred vision. Resp: APNEA, LARYNGOSPASM, RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION, bronchospasm, coughing.
