37
Q

What are common interactions with abx?

A

Oral contraceptives (rifampin can make OCP less effective)
Alcohol use (avoid metronidazole)

Fluoroquinolones (achilles tendon rupture)

38
Q

how to approach viral illness w/ pts

A

Explain likely viral nature of URTI + that abx will have no effect on duration of sx
Explain that abx are potentially harmful, with increased colonization and infection with resistant pathogens in pts with prior abx therapy, increased antimicrobial resistance in community, unwanted allergic reactions and SE, cost of unnecessary treatment
Empathise with pts about effect of sx on ADLs + provide educational materials and provide therapy for these sx. Offer FU if sx not improving

39
Q

how to approach abx allergy w/ pts

A

R/O intolerance to side effects, viral exanthum, drug-drug interaction
Allergy to penicillin can wane over time
No cross-reactivity between sulfa abx and other sulfa drugs
Consider referral to allergy testing if allergic reaction was a long time ago or if story not convincing

40
Q

When to order cultures in:
systemic illness
UTI
cellulitis
abscess
pharyngitis
immunocompromised

Impetigo when dx is unclear
Cellulitis with systemic illness
Abscess if initial therapy failed
Pharyngitis - swab needed to r/o group A strep
Gonoccocal cultures for community resistance
Immunocompromised pts or pts who have had abx in last 3 months
