what is the drug class for bacitracin?
topical antibiotic
cell-wall inhibiting antibiotic
what is the MOA of bacitracin?
inhibits cell wall synthesis by interfering with the incorperation of peptidoglycan subunits in bacterial cell wall
what is the indication for bacitracin?
G+ skin or mucosal infections
does bacitracin have cross reactivity with other antibiotics?
nope!! lucky!!
what is bacitracin only used as a topical drug? what are the four locations it can be used in?
because it is NEPHROTOXIC SYSTEMICALLY….wayyyyy dangerous so can only be used on skin, mucous membrane, opthalic, and GI tract
what drug class is mupirocin [bactroban]?
topical antibiotic
what is the MOA of mupirocin [bactroban]?
reversibly binds to the tRNA synthase and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis
what are the indications for mupirocin [bactroban]? (3)
superficial G+ (including MRSA)
selected G-
impetigo
what type of veichle is mupirocin [bactroban]?
polyethylene glycol vechicle
where are the only two places you can use mupirocin [bactroban]
skin or nasal use
what are two reasons you wouldn’t use mupirocin [bactroban]?
- use on large areas of skin…don’t do it
2. renal failure pts because thats how it is cleared, so its toxic if the patient can’t clear it…duh
what is the drug class for polymixin B sulfate?
topical antibiotic
Polymixin antibiotic
what is the MOA for polymixin B sulfate?
interacts with the phospholipids and disrupts bacterial cell membrane
binds and inactivates endotoxins
what is the indication for polymixin B sulfate? what four bacteria does this target, which two are resistant?
superficial G- infections
- pseudomonas
- e. coli
- enterobacter
- klebsiella
Proteus and neisseria are resistance so you can’t use this to cover those!
what happens if polymixin B sulfate is systemically used?….even though it shouldn’t be because it says on the drug chart topical (5)
muscle weakness, apnea, parathesias, vertigo, slurred speech
what does polymixin B sulfate interact with?
aminoglycosides
what two body sytems is polymixin B sulfate toxic to?
neurotoxic and ototoxic if it is systemically absorbed
what is the max dose allowed daily for polymixin B sulfate?
200 mg in 24 hours…it causes a lot of toxicity so thats why you can’t use that much!
what drug class is nystatin?
oral/topical antifungal
what is the MOA of nystatin?
binds to sterols in the fungal cell membrane, increasing permability so it can be destroyed
what is the indication for nystatin?
topical skin and mucosal candida infections only
what are 3 side effects you worry about with nystatin?
bitter taste
contact dermatitis
sjs
what formulations does nystatin come in?
tablets suspension cream powder troche formulations
minimal PO absorption
what is the drug class for ciclopirox olamine?
topical antifungal
what is the MOA of ciclopirox olamine?
inhibits the uptake of precursors of macromolecular synthesis inhibiting fungal cell membrane formations
what is the indication for ciclopirox olamine? (3)
dermaphytes
candida
p orbiculare
what are two SE of ciclopirox olamine?
headache
alopecia
what should you avoid when using ciclopirox olamine?
occlusive dressing
what are the two formulations of ciclopirox olamine and what do you use them for?
- 1% cream or lotion of dermatomycosis, candidiasis, tinea versicolor
- 8% solution (penlac nail lacquer) for onchymycosis
what is the drug class for fluconazole?
oral antifungal
what is the MOA of fluconazole?
alters permeability of fungal cell wall
what is the indication for fluconazole?
candida and dermophyte fungal infections
cyrptoccal meningitis
what are the SE of fluconazole?
seizures
increase cholesterol
chemical hepatitis
SJS
what drug does fluconazole interact with and what does this increase the risk for?
- HMG-CoA statins
increase risk for rhabdomyolysis
what is the halflife for fluconazole?
30 Hours
what fluconazole bound to? what percent?
10% protein bound
almost completely absorbed from the GI tract regardless of acidity or food
what is the fluconazole dose for candidal vaginitis?
150 mg dose
what is the drug class for terbinafine?
oral/topical antifungal
what is the MOA of terbinafine?
inhibits sterol synthesis and disrupts cell wall
what is the indication for oral and topical terbinafine?
oral: onchomycosis
topical: tinea pedis
what is the contraindications for terbinafine?
hepatic or renal dysfunction
what are the 3 drug interactions seen with terbinafine?
increases effects of tricyclic antidepressants (
decreases codeine effectiveness
cimetadine increases serum levels
what is the CrCl cut off for the use of oral terbinafine in patients?
don’t use if
how much of terbinafine is bioavaliable after the first pass effect?
40% after the first pass
so it basically loooses a ton because of the first pass
what percent of terbinafine is protein bound?
99%
so it accumulates in the skin, nails, and fat
what is the t1/2 for terbinafine
12 H but 200-400H with steady state levels
what is the drug class of acyclovir?

what drug interactions can you see with acyclovir? (3)
probenicid
cimetadine increase
decrease elimination of MTX
what does acyclovir only accumulate in virus infected cells?
requires viral kinase for activation so it can only accumulates in virus infected cells
