Dermatologic Pharmacology Flashcards
rate limiting step drug absorption
stratum corneum
vehicle reservoir
to extend the release of dermatologic agent
routes of drug absorption
through stratum corneum
sweat ducts
sebaceous follicles
percutaneous absorption
concentration gradient estabilished
partition coefficient - drug ability to leave vehicle
diffusion coefficient
wet lesion
wet dressings
pulls moisture out as evaporates
ointments
most able to stop evaporation
dry skin
use cream or ointment
wet skin
use gel or lotion
transdermal patch
constant drug delivery
10yo M mountain bike wreck, abraded areas
tx approach - clean with soap and water
use of topical antibiotic debated - promote resistance
clean wound and remove debris**
MOA of neosporin
bacitracin - inhibit cell wall synthesis
polymyxin B - increases permeability of cell wall
neomycin - bind and inhibit 30S ribosomal subunit
bacitracin
gram positive
anaerobic cocci
polymyxin B and neomycin
gram negative coverage
5yo F, red sores around mouth, suspect impetigo
what antibiotic cover group A beta-hemolytic strep and staph aureus (including MRSA)
mupirocin
retapamulin
group A beta-hemolytic strep
strep pyogenes
tx of impetigo
non-bullous - topical therapy - mupirocin or retapamulin for 5 days
bullous - oral antimicrobial for 7 days
benefits of topical tx
fewer side effect
low risk of bacterial resistance
adverse of bacitracin and neomycin
contact dermatitis
acne
topical antibiotics
-less effective than benzylperoxide
clindamycin, erythromycin, metrondiazole, sodium sulfacetamide
MOA clindamycin
macrolide - inhibits 50S
MOA erythromycin
macrolide - inhibit 50S
MOA metrondiazole
damages DNA
MOA sodium sulfacetamide
sulfonamide - inhibit folic acid synthesis
organism in acne
proprionibacterium acnes
gram positive rod**
35yo M construction worker, itching of both feet, dermatophyte infection
-athletes foot tx?
azole
allylamine
butenafide
toinaftate
MOA azole
inhibit synthesis of ergosterol
-inhibits lanosterol 14-a-demethylase
for ring worm, athletes foot, etc.
also cutaneous candidiasis - vaginal yeast infection
MOA ciclopirox alamine
inhibit uptake of precursors of macromolecule synthesis
topical detmatomycosis, candidiasis, tinea versicolor
MOA allylamines
inhibit squalene epoxidase
terbinafine and naftifine
allylamines
MOA toinaftate
unknown
