Don not use if CrCl < 15 mL/min
Not for children < 2 mo
Oral only
Pregnancy Category C - CI at term due to kernicterus in infants
Good for MRSA
Do not use if sulfa allergy
17
Q

Nitrofurantoin (Macrobid) Indications and PK

A

treatment and prevention of uncomplicated UTIs
PO = oral only
Rapidly absorbed = only in serum for 30 min then to urine
Cleared renally - only give if GFR normal

18
Q

Macrobid MOA and indications

A

Disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis through inhibition of bacterial enzymes
Effective against: E. coli, citrobacter, Staph saprophyticus, Enterococcus
Some eneterobacter and klebsiella resistance
Good for uncomplicated cystitis and lower UTI

19
Q

Macrobid SE

A

MC: nausea and vomiting

Hepatic effects: hepatitis, hepatic necrosis
Peripheral neuropathy

20
Q

A

No significant DI
Pregnancy Cat B - CI at term due to hemolytic anemia in neonate
Not for lactation
Safety and efficacy not established in <12 years & CI < 1 mo
Pulmonary toxicity = avoid in older adults and long term use

21
Q

Half-life 6-9 hrs
MOA: inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by causing DNA strand breakage

22
Q

A

SOA: Gm + and - anaerobes
C. diff, Giardia, H. pylori, trichomoniasis, BV
DOC for anaerobic infections, BV, trichomoniasis, C. diff

23
Q

A

Oral
IV
Topical (roseacea)
Intravaginal

24
Q

Inhibitor of 3A4 - DI with phenobarbital, phenytoin, rifampin = increased flagyl metabolism

26
Q

Vancomycin type, MOA, resistance, ROA,

A

glycopeptide
inhibits cell-wall biosynthesis, alters cell membrane permeability, and RNA synthesis
Inhibits biosynthesis of peptidoglycan - complexes with D-ala-D-ala sequence to inhibit transpeptidation/cross-linking
Resistance occurs by substituting d-lactate for d-alanine decreasing affinity x 1000
ROA: IV, oral for C. diff only

27
Q

DOC for MRSA when IV therapy needed
PO 2nd line for C. diff
