(Premature infants)
Jaundice
Cephalosporins 4th generation resistance?
B-lactamase resistant
Cephalosporins DI-3?
-Cephalosporins & aminoglycosides in the same container may chemically inactivate each other
-Ceftriaxone not admin at same time as Ca2+-containng solutions(48hrs)
-Alcohol-Cefamandole
-Warfarin
-Combined oral contraceptives
-Probenecid
Cephalosporins S/E-6?
- Nephrotoxicity (Aminoglycosides or vancomycin)
- Neurotoxicty
- Cross Hypersensitivity
- Alcohol Intolerance’s
- ↓ Oral contraceptives efficacy
- Phlebitis (IV)

Carbapenems Caution/CI?
- Allergy
- CNS Disorders/seizures
- Renal impairement
Monobactams
- Drug
- B-lactamases
- Cross sensitivity/penicillin
- Admin
- Drug:
Aztreonam - B-lactamases:
Stability to many B-lactamases - Cross sensitivity/penicillin:
No cross sensitivity with penicillins or cephalosporins thus can be used in penicillin allergic patients - Admin:
IM/IV
Monobactams S/E?
- Drug induced eosinophilia ( ↑ eosinophils)
- Rarely toxic epidermal necrolysis
- Injection site reactions
- Rash
- GIT S/E
Glycopeptides
- Drug
- Admin & exceptions
- Indications
- MOA
- Drug:
Vancomycin & Teicoplanin - Admin:
IV except for pseudomembranous oolitic-orally - Indications:
Reserved for life-threatening infections-methicillin-resistant Staph. Aureus(MRSA) - MOA
Inhibits transglycosylation between side chains-peptidoglycan cross-linkages do not form ∴ weakens bacterial cell wall
Glycopeptides S/E?
- Red-man syndrome-Rapid transfusion-Histamine release
- Ototoxicty & Nephrotoxicity
- Fever & skin rashes
Glycopeptides DI?
- Aminoglycosides
Ototoxic &
nephrotoxic
drugs
