watch out for
gi distress
ototoxicity, cholestatic jaundice, QT PROLONGATION
erythromycin (macrolide) gram + side effects
gi side effects are very common, if you must use a macrolide (atypical bacteria) switch to azithromycin (z-pack), or clithromycin (biaxin)
may prolong INR with coumadin same for clarithromycin

first generations- Ancef. cefadroxil. cefazolin. cephalexin. Duricef. Keflex. Kefzol
gram positice cocci - group A strep, staph aeurus, not good against beta lactam producers and MRSA though,
not great with PCN allergy, high chance of cross sensitivity
2nd generaton cephalosporins are broad spectrum
Ceclor (DSC) cefaclor. cefotetan. cefoxitin. cefprozil. Ceftin. cefuroxime. Cefzil.
