other abc classes Flashcards
MOA of FQs
inhibit protein synthesis by binding to DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV
bacteriocidal
MOA of daptomycin ( cubicin)
uses calcium and inserts itself into bacterial membranes-causes lysis of permeability to intracellular ions
MOA of TMP/SMX
inhibits bacterial synthesis of dihydrofolic acid therefore bacterial cell division is stopped/slowed
bacteriocidal & synergistic
inhibits CYP2C9-CAUTION WITH WARFIN
MOA of metronidazole (Flagyl)
in presence of anaerobic bacteria that chemically reduce the nitro group creating an unstable intermediate compound (free radical)-toxic
-binds to DNA and inhibits synthesis
bacteriocidal
used for UTI’s
MAO of Macrobid, Macrodantin
interferes with metabolism & cell wall synthesis by inhibiting several bacteria enzymes systems
IV/PO uses for FQs
CAP complicated/uncomplicated UTI prostatitis soft tissue infection Crohn's disease Bone penetration (i.e. osteomyelitits) intracellular concentration
3 FQ’s for corneal ulcers
Cipro
levofloxacin
Ofloxacin
Otic use of FQs
acute otitis media
otitis externa
chronic supporative otitis media
SE of Fq’s
QT prolongation
seizure risk if coadministered with NSAIDS
Tendon injury/rupture
All preg C and Lactation L3
do not mix with di- & trivalent cations (Al, Ca, Fe, Mg) within 2hrs
issues with Cipro
CYP1A2 inhibitor
not good for strep pneumonia
dosage of Cipro
PO/IV Adults: 500 mg PO BID or 400mg IV BID
Peds: 20-30mg/kg PO BID or
Cystic fibrosis patients: 6-10 mg/kg BID IV
Norfloxacin (Noroxin) dosage
adults only 400mg PO BID
ofloxacin (Floxin)
adults only 200-400 PO BID
levofloxacin (Levaquin) dosage
PO/IV 250-750 mg QD
CAP 750 QD
moxifloxacin (Avelox) dosage and issues
PO/IV 400 mg QD
not for UTI’s
possible QT prolongation
