Ethosuximide (Zarontin) mechanism of action
anti-epileptic Na+ and Ca+ channel blocker
Vitamins for seizures
B6
folic acid
Ketogenic diet
used to treat intractable epilepsy fat provides majority of calories protein: minimum RDA carbs: severely restricted in conjunction with anti-epileptics: watch CHO content avoid liquids content of carbs can vary from brand to brand
Imatinib (GLEEVEC)

- hypotension
- increased LFTs
Azoles
Ketoconazole flucanazole voriconazole
Morphine pharmacokinetics

- renally excreted metabolites
- morphine-6-glucuronide (active)
- morphine-3-glucuronide (inactive)
- half life varies
- 10-20 hours in preterm neonates
- 6 hours-neonates and infants up to 3 mos

- do not eat/drink 20-30 min after dose
- Clotrimazole
- availble as troche-sucker
- caution in young kids–choking
- CYP3A4 interactions
- Fluconazole
- agent of choice-systemic prophylaxis
chronic rejection
- develops over months to years
- can have acute on chronic
- B-cell

REMS program
Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy to ensure that the benefits of a drug outweigh its risks -strategy to manage known or potential serious risks associated with a drug product and is required by the FDA to help ensure that a drug’s benefits outweigh its risks.
Tacrolimus ADEs
- seizures/tremors
- hyperglycemia
- alopecia
- HTN
- nephrotoxicity
Platinum Alkylating Agents
- cancer tx
- contain platinum
- cell-phase non-specific
- MOA:
- bond with DNA-DNA cannot repair-cell death
- TOXICITY
- commonly used in peds

- Carboplatin
Beta Lactamase Inhibitors
piperacillin/tazaobactam (Zosyn) Ampicillin/sulbactam ticarcillin/Clavulanate Amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin)
Oxycodone
- binds to opioid receptors in CNS, inhibits ascending pathways, alters perception and response to pain
- no injectible form

natural PCN, Amino PCN PRSP (penicillin resistant synthetic) ESPCN (extended spectrum) B-Lact Inhibitors Cephalosporins Carbapenem monobactam
Cisplatin
- IV
- side effects
- Nephrotoxicity
- cation wasting
- requires aggressive hydration and high urine output–fluids should contain K+ and Mg+
- Ototoxicty
- peripheral neuropathy (use gabapentin)
- N/V
- hepatotoxicity
- myelosuppression, thrombocytopenia
- Nephrotoxicity
