18
Q

PCAP A guidelines

A

Co-amoxiclav is already recommended

19
Q

Ideal TB drug

A

Can penetrate the mycolic acid layer and arabinogalactan layer

Can kill all kinds of TB whether dormant or active

Can immediately go to macrophages

20
Q

First line TB drugs

A
INH
RIFAMPICIN
PYRAZINAMIDE

STREPTOMYCIN
21
Q

Prodrug activated by catalase-peroxidase hemoprotein, KatG

A

Isoniazed (Isonicotinic acid hydrazide)

22
Q

High Early bactericidal activity that kills actively growing bacteria

A

Isoniazid

-rapid decrease in sputum bacilli for the first 2 weeks then slow down for non-growing bacterial populations

23
Q

Bactericidal against actively growing MTB, both intracellular and extracellular

A

ISONIAZID

-Bacteriostatic against dormant organisms

24
Q

INH KINETICS

A

A : Readily absorbed from GIT, Must be taken on an empty stomach

D: Diffuses well into all body fluids and tissues, CSF conc. 20-100% of serum, Penetrates well into caseous TB lesions)

M: NAT2 gene, Filipinos are rapid acetylators

E: Renal as unchanged drug

25
Q

ADverse effects of INH

A

Direct toxicity (Hepatic, peripheral, seiures, Hemolytic anemia)

Immunologic reactions (Fever and rash, Drug induced SLE)

26
Q

Antidote to INH

A

Vitamin B6

27
Q

Inhibits bacterial RNA synthesis by binding to the beta subunit of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, blocking RNA transcription

A

Rifampicin

-Semisynthetic derivative of rifamycon B, produce by amycolaptopssiis mediterrnei

28
Q

Bactericidal against rapidly proliferating MTB and against intracellular slow growing bacilli, also active against some g(+) and (-) organisms

A

Rifampicin

-Not to be used as monotherapy for other bacterial infections

29
Q

Rifampicin Kinetics

A

A: Well absorbed orally, undergoes enterohepatic circulation; must be taken on an empty stomach

D: Highly lipophilic, crosses BBB

M: Deacetylated, metabolite has antibacterial activity

E: Bile and Urine

30
Q

ADverse effect of Rifampicin

A
Hepatotoxic, Hypersensitivity reactions
