20
Q

Daptomycin does not provide coverage for

A

gram negative bacteria

CAP-lung surfactant inactivates drug

21

Contraindicated 1st trimester
avoid alcohol-disulfiram-like reaction
interaction with warfarin

22
Q

SE of TMP/SMX

A

-TMP-Treats Marrow Poorly-bone marrow suppression
-avoid 1st trimester or Breastfeeding bc sulfa can displace bilirubin=kernicterus
-avoid in G6PD deficiency
drink fluids-can precipitate
pancreatitis, avoid sun

23

alternative for Bactrim allergy for PJP and T. gonadii
M. leprae: uses 400-600 QD
CI for G6PD deficiency-cause hemolysis and methemoglobinemia

25
Q

issues with Macrobid/Macrodantin

A
  • Caution with G6PD deficiency-cause hemolytic anemia
  • Avoid if CrCl <60 ml/min
  • longer than 6 month associated with pulmonary toxicity
  • severe/irreversible neuropathy
  • avoid in pregnancy-38-42 wks, during labor, & delivery bc may cause hemolytic anemia in infants
26

issues with Isoniazid

A
  • INH=Injures Neurons & Hepatocytes
  • hepatitis-not for alcoholics, pregnant women, elderly
  • penetrates CNS and depletes pyridoxine (Vit B6)-can cause neuropathies therefore replace
29

A

RNA polymerase inhibitor
red urine/fluids
ramps or revs up enzymes
rapid resistance when used alone

30

optic neuritis-need slit lamp and red/green discrimination
hyperuricemia
rash
anaphylaxis

32
