Q

Why not use Augmentin for everything?

A
  • Cost ($10/15 vs $50)
  • 3x more side effects
  • Resistance
  • In the person exposed, primarily
  • Stewardship
  • Analogy – moving from studio/1BR apartment

Q

Why risk using amoxicillin rather than clindamycin?
Risk of using amoxicillin:
* No risk if the reaction is?
* Any non-SJS rash history to amoxicillin? re-exposed?
* Risk of a severe reaction is ?
* Risk for sever reaction if initial ‘allergy’ was immediate onset, ?

A

Why risk using amoxicillin rather than clindamycin?
Risk of using amoxicillin:
* No risk if the reaction is GI, headache, yeast infection, family history
* Any non-SJS rash history to amoxicillin, re-exposed to amoxicillin 93-94% tolerate with no subsequent reactions
* Risk of a severe reaction is 0.001%
* Risk for sever reaction if initial ‘allergy’ was immediate onset, 0.29%

Q

Risk of Clindamycin

A

Among oral antibiotics commonly prescribed by dentists, clindamycin has
the highest fatal (2.9/million prescriptions), serious (233.2/million
prescriptions), and overall (337.3/million prescriptions) ADR rates.
* Double any other dental antibiotic
* >15 times higher than amoxicillin
* Amoxicillin has the lowest fatal
(0.1/million prescriptions), serious
(11.9/million prescriptions), and overall
(21.5/million prescriptions) ADR rates

88
Q

Summary of prophylaxis

* Patients undergoing what procedures are at highest risk for bacteremia?
* Antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the incidence of? BUT?
* Warn high risk patients undergoing high risk dental interventions of the risk of?

A
  • Invasive dental procedures cause bacteremia, which can be complicated by IE in those at increased risk of the disease
  • Patients with prosthetic heart valves, previous infective endocarditis, and some types of congenital heart disease are at highest risk of IE
  • Patients undergoing procedures that involve manipulation of gingival tissue, manipulation of the periapical region of teeth, or perforation of the oral mucosa are at highest risk for bacteremia
  • Antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the incidence of bacteremia, but no high level studies exist to confirm that this reduces the incidence of IE
  • Warn high risk patients undergoing high risk dental interventions of the risk of infective endocarditis. Offer these patients antibiotic prophylaxis, and discuss with them the risks and benefits of this option
