6 key considerations to consider when giving a drug
1) Route of administration
2) Frequency
3) Dosage
4) Degree of absorption
5) Degree/duration of drug concentration in serum and site of action
6) Metabolism and excretion
ABC/anticoagulant drug interaction
Metronidazole + Warfarin
Increase anticoagulant effect
ABC/CHF drug interaction
Tetracycline + Digoxin
Tetracycline can increase serum levels of digoxin
3 times we use ABCs in perio

2) Prophylactic (Endocarditis)
3) Preemptive
