Q

Penicillin
MOA, indications, SE/AE

A

MOA: disruption of bacterial cell wall synthesis

example indications: strep, otitis media, syphilis

SE/AE: GI upset (most common), prolonged bleeding time

o MOST COMMON DRUG ALLERGY IN PHARMACOLOGY

o PATIENTS THAT ARE ALLERGIC TO PENICILLINS HAVE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF ALSO BEING ALLERGIC TO CEPHALOSPORINS

o SUSCEPTIBLE TO BETA-LACTAMASE
o CAN CAUSE RASH, COMMONLY MISTAKEN FOR ALLERGIES, IF GIVEN TO PATIENTS THAT HAVE EBV (MONO)
o CAN BE TAKEN WITH FOOD TO PREVENT GI UPSET

Q

what is beta-lactam and beta-lactamase?
how does it work?

A

beta-lactam is used to fight pathogens

some pathogens are smart and mutate, developing shields that protect them from beta-lactam. these shields are called beta-lactamase. beta-lactamase is an enzyme that breaks down beta-lactam.

can be countered with a beta-lactamase inhibitor
