- trichomoniasis
Drugs to treat protozoal infection: toxoplasmosis
Pyrimethamine + sulfadiazine
drugs to treat nematodes
- albendazole and mebendazole
- pyrantel
- ivermectin
Nematode MOA: inhibit microtuble synthesis and decrease glucose uptake
Albendazole and mebendazole
DOC for pinworms
Albendazole and mebendazole
Nematode MOA: Nm agonist, act like SCh, and cause paralysis
Pyrantel
Nematode MOA: GABA agonist, hyperpolarization of nerves and muscles
Ivermectin
DOC for onchocerciasis
Ivermectin
What is onchocerciasis
River blindness
Drug for trematodes and cestodes
Praziquantel
MOA: increase Ca permeability, causing contractions, leading to paralysis of worm
Praziquantel
Fungal MOA: inhibit squalene epoxidase, which inhibits ergosterol synthesis
Terbinafine
Does terbinafine treat systemic or superficial fungal infections
Superficial
Only fungal drug that affects cell wall
Fungin’s
Fungal MOA: binds to ergosterol and forms pores
Ampho B
Synergism for fungal infections
Ampho B + flucytosine
Adverse effects of ampho B
- flushing
- bone marrow suppression
- nephrotoxic
Fungal MOA: makes 5dUMP which inhibits thymine synthesis (which inhibits DNA synthesis)
Flucytosine
Fungal MOA: blocks C1,4 a-demethylase which causes lanosterol to accumulate
Azoles
DOC for candidas and cryptococcus meningitis
Fluconazole
If pt comes in with serious fungal infection, what is immediately started
Ampho B + flucytosine
DOC for aspergillius
Voriconazole
Fungal MOA: inhibit B- glucan synthesis
Fungin’s
5 drugs for TB

Initiation phase Tx of TB
- isoniazid
- rifampin
- pyrazinamide
- ethmbutol
For 2 months
Continuation phase of TB Tx
- isoniazid
- rifampin
For 4 months
TB drug MOA: target enzyme that assembles mycolic acid
Isoniazid
TB drug for prophylaxis
Isoniazid
Possible side effect of isoniazid
Peripheral neuritis (Tx with B6)
TB drug MOA: inhibit RNA polymerase = inhibit transcription
Rifampin
Possible side effect of rifampin
Orange/red secretions

HIV integrate inhibitor
Raltegravir
HIV reverse transcriptase inhibitor types

- NtRTIs
- NNRTIs
NRTI drugs
- zidovudine
- lamivudine
- emtricitabine
NtRTI drug
Tenofovir
NNRTI drug
Efavirenz
HIV MOA: inhibit HIV-1 protease; cant produce mature virions
Ritanovir
Ritanovir side effects
Central adiposity and insulin resistance
HIV MOA: inhibit integrase
Raltegravir
HIV MOA: block gp41 = prevent entry
Enfuvirtide
HIV MOA: block CCR5 = prevent entry
Maraviroc
HIV MOA: need 3 phosphates to become active = stop DNA elongation
NRTIs
Which NRTI drug may cause bone marrow suppression
Zidovudine
Which 2 NRTIs are the least toxic
Lamivudine
Emtricitabine
HIV MOA: needs 2 phosphates to become active and is often used with an NRTI
Tenofovir (NtRTI)
HIV MOA: doesn’t need any phosphates to become active; allosterically binds below the catalytic site to cause inhibition
Efavirenz (NNRTI)
Side effect of efavirenz
