Question | Answer |
---|---|
pt on 5th day vanco and gent, tv is really loud | investigate for ototoxicity |
vancomycin-iv only (PK) ABSORPTION AND EXCRETION | (A) NOT ORALLY ABSORBED (E) RENAL EXCRETION-IF DECREASE RENAL FUNCTION-LONGER DOSING INTERVAL |
VANCO (PD) | CELL WALL LYTIC-COVERS GRAM + ONLY (MRSA, C-DIFF) |
S/E VANCO | IF TOXIC-RISK FOR NEPHRO/OTO TOXICITY-SO IT CAN AFFECT IT'S OWN HALF LIFE IN TOXIC DOSES, REDMAN SYNDROME-SYSTEMIC WILL CAUSE HIVES, HYPOTENSION |
IF REDMAN SYNDROME WITH VANCO | SHOULD BE SLOWER INFUSION RATE |
VANCO (PK) | THERAPEUTIC WINDOW-SO CHECK CP EX;PEAKS AND TROUGHS(BE ACCURATE WITH TIME) |
RIBOSOMALS-AMINOGLYCOSIDES EX;GENTAMYCIN, TOBRAMYCIN (PD) | PREVENT PROTEIN SYNTHESIS, COVERS GRAM - ONLY,EXCEPT WHEN ADDED TO TO BETA-LACTAMS OR VANCO B/C RIBOSOME IS INSIDE CELL AND THOSE BETA-LACTAMS AND VANCO CAN BREAK CELL WALL-COMBO=SYNERGY(1+1=3) |
RIBOSOMALS (PK) | THESE DRUGS HAVE THERAPEUTIC WINDOWS AS WELL,SO NEED PEAKS AND TROUGHS, NOT ORALLY ABORSBED, iV ONLY,HALF LIFE UPON RENAL FUNCTION |
S/E RIBOSOMALS | TOXICITY-OTO/NEPHRO TOXICITY |
MACROLIDES-ERYTHROMYCIN EX;CLARITHROMYCIN, AZITHROMYCIN(Z-PACK) (PD) | RIBOSOMAL-COVER GRAM + AND - BUT THEY TEND TO BE BACTERIOSTATIC, DON'T KILL BACTERIA, JUST STOP GROWTH |
(PK) MACROLIDES | ALL ARE POTENT (METABOLIC ENZYME INHIBITORS) SO AVOID OTHER DRUGS W/ THERAPEUTIC WINDOW B/C IT WILL INCREASE OTHER DRUGS AFTER TIME (TOXICITY) |
AZITHROMYCIN (PK) | HAS THE LONGEST HALF LIFE OF ALL ABX APPROX EQUAL TO 65 HOURS-SO GET MORE DAYS OUT OF LESS PILLS |
CLIENT HAD 10 DAYS THERAPY OF ABX-FAILED AND WANTS TO KNOW WHY Z-PACK IS ONLY COUPLE DAYS | TELL THEM IT STAYS IN THEIR BODY LONGER THEN MOST ABX |
CLARITHROMYCIN S/E | METALLIC TASTE ALL CHEMICAL SIMILAR TO GUT...DIARRHEA |
SULFONAMIDES-BACTRIM SEPTRA(AVOID SUN) (PD) | COVERS GRAM - ONLY-NEAR TOXIC DOSES MAY COVER COMMUNITY ACQUIRED MRSA |
SULFONAMIDES (PK) | RENALLY EXCRETED |
SULFONAMIDES S/E | PHOTOSENSITIVITY FOR ALL-IF SHADOW IS SHORTER IN SUN, STAY OUT, CRYSTALURIA-STAY WELL HYDRATED-NOALCOHOL, W/ GERIATRICS-RISK OF HYPERKALEMIA |
QUINOLONES-"FLOXACIN" | DO OPPOSITE OF PCN AND CEPHS, EARLY;CIPRO G- > + , NEWER;LEVAQUIN G+ = - |
QUINOLONES (PK) | CAN INHIBIT CAFFEINE AND THEOPHYLLINE METABOLISM |
QUINOLONES S/E | PHOTOSENSITIVTY BLACK BOX WARNING- UNUASUAL MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY-EX;RISK OF TENDON RUPTURE UP TO 6 MONTHS AFTER THE LAST DOSE |
TUBERCULOSIS-ACID FAST MYCOBACTERIA | DIVIDES SLOW-NEED LONG TERM TREATMENT > 6 MONTHS TO YEARS, FAR SPREAD- NEED MULTIPLE MEDS-ALL TB REGIMENS SHOULD BE 3 DRUGS OR MORE |
PORBLEMS WITH TB TX | DRUGS CAN MAKE YOU FEEL WORSE THEN THE DX THEREFORE COMPLIANCE IS PROBLEM, ALL REGIMENS ARE HEPATOTOXIC TO SOME DEGREE-S/S YELLOWING OF SKIN/EYES, ASH COLORED STOOLS-AVOID ALCOHOL AND ACETAMINOPHEN |
SPECIFIC REGIMENS FOR TB ALL SHOULD CONTAIN | 1)RIFAMPIN-CAUSES RED/ORANGE STAINING OF URINE AND TEARS 2) ISONIAZID (INH)-CAN CAUSE PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY-TINGLING/NUMBNESS OF FINGERS/TOES-SO ADD VIT B6/PYRIDOXINE |
TB COMMON 3RD DRUG | ETHAMBUTOL/MYAMBUTOL-CAN CAUSE TRANSIENT RED/GREEN COLOR BLINDNESS-DON'T DRIVE |
ANTIFUNGAL AGENTS-"AZOLES" (PD) | ACT LIKE BETA-LACTAMS ON FUNGAL YEAST CELL WALLS AND MEMBRANES |
ANTIFUNGAL (PK) | ALL ARE POTENT ENZYME INHIBITORS, CAN ALL AFFECT HOW OTHER DRUGS ARE METABOLIZED |
ANTIFUNGAL WEAKEST TO STRONGEST | WEAKEST-KETOOCONAZOLE/NIZORAL....FLUCONAZOLE/DIFLUCAN...STRONGEST- ITRACONAZOLE/SPORONOX....SHOULD START W/ THE WEAKEST HOWEVER KETOCONAZOLE NEEDS AN ACIDIC ENVIRONMENT TO BE ABSORBED |
CLIENT FAILS ON ONE WEEK NIZORAL | SWITCH TO DIFLUCAN |
ANTIVIRALS(HERPETICS) "CLOVIR" ACYLOVIR/ZOVIRAX AND GANCICLOVIR/CYTOVENT (PD) | INHIBIT vdna replication(failed chemotherapy agents) |
antivirals s/e | take as directed otherwise toxic s/s-risk for bone marrow suppression, which leads to decreased rbc,wbc, and platelets, gi ulcerations which can lead to n/v, hair loss |
ganciclovir | by law has biohazard-so if it leaks or spills on you-wash thoroughly-if first trimester can cause neural tube defects, males- can cause aspermia |
HIV | UNINHIBITED CAN MEK 5 BILLION COPIES IN 24 HOURS- 80%NORM/NULL 19% FATAL MUTATION <1% BENEFICIAL TO VIRUS MUTATION -SO TAKE DRUGS ON TIME TO PREVENT 1% MUTATION EX 3X/DAY= Q8HOURS(IMPORTANT) |
