26
Q

how does oseltamivir work

A

analog of sialic acid, interferes with release of progeny influenza virus from infected cell

27

nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, HA, fever, diarrhea, neuropsych
approved in children >1 yr

28
Q

therapeutic use oseltamivir

A

influenza prophylaxis, influenza Tx

29

A

nasuea, diarrhea, HA

32
Q

therapeutic use of acyclovir

A

genital herpes, varicella, HSV encephalitis, neonatal HSV Tx

33

34
Q

What are the antifungals used to Tx CAP

A

fluconazole PO IV

voriconazole PO IV

35
Q

MOA antifungals Tx of CAP

A

inhibit fungal cytochrome p450, reducing production ergosterol

36
