Ch 40 Flashcards
sulfonamide MOA
inhibit synthesis of dihydrofolate
folate reductase inhibitors MOA
block action of dihydrofolate reductase and formation of tetrahydrofolate
sulfonamide drug names
- sulfacetamide (cetamide, bleph-10)
- silver sulfadiazine (silvadene)
- sulfamethoxazole (with trimethoprim: bactrim, septra)
sulfonamide indications
- primarily UTI
- silvadene for burns
- cetamide/bleph for blapharitis, conjunctivitis, ocular infection
sulfonamide ADE
- skin rashes including steven-johnson
- crystalluria, GI, hepatitis, hematopoietic toxicity, hemolytic anemia
trimethroprim-sulfamthoxazole (bactrim/septra)
indications
- DOC for P. jiroveci and N. asteroides in immunocompromised
- UTI where <30% E. coli are resistant
trimethroprim-sulfamthoxazole (bactrim/septra)
ADE
-megaloblastic anemia
fluoroquinolones MOA
- inhibit two types of bacterial topoisomerases
- bactericidal
- long post antibiotic effect of 2-6 hours
IV fluoroquinolones
- ciprofloxacin
- levofloxacin
- moxifloxacin
- delafloxacin
fluoroquinolones ADE
- tendon rupture
- hyper/hypo glycemia
- aortic aneurysm rupture
- seizures
- prolonged QT
ciprofloxacin
primarily gram (-) including P. aeruginosa
Levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, delafloxacin
increased gram (+) including S. pneumoniae
moxifloxacin
most active against mycobacteria
delafloxacin
- most potent against anaerobes
- only FQ active against MRSA
- newest and least understood
nitrofurantoin (macrobid)
- nonspecific MOA staves off resistance
- oral that’s good for UTI since rapidly excreted in urine
- food enhances absorption
