Q

How can penicillin affect electrolytes?

A
  • It’s an acid, so in large doses, it can cause water retention (think about people with HTN or CHF)
  • In kidney, penicillin is non-absorbable that’s secreted; K+ moves in in exchange for H+ out, which can exacerbate hypokalemia

22
Q

What is the MOA of beta lactams

A

Binds transpeptidase proteins and blocks cross-linking of peptidoglycan strands

23
Q

What is so great about carbapenems?

A

Highly resistant to beta lactamases

24
Q

Which beta lactam has the broadest spectrum?

A

Imipenem

25
Q

Erythromycin and clarithro MOA

A

Reversibly binds 50S

26
Q

What does imipenem target?

A

Broad - empiric - G+ and G-, anaerobes, and P aeruginosa

27
Q

What drug is C/I for patients with CNS seizures?

A

Imipenem!

28
Q

Which drug must be co-administered with cilastatin and why?

A

Imipenem; it inhibits renal toxicity and breakdown of imipenem

29
Q

Macrolides excretion elim

A

Bile and feces

30
Q

Meropenem salient facts

A

Less likely to cause seizures

Less effect on G+

31
Q

Erythromycin static or cidal?

A

Static

32
Q

Azithromycin and clarithromycin static or cidal?

A

Depends on concentration

33
Q

What would be a good drug for prostatic infections?

A

Erythromycin - diffuses well into prostate

34
Q

FQs don’t go well with:

A

Antacids and iron and zinc

35
Q

FQs excretion

A

unchanged in urine and also bile

36
Q

FQs AEs

A

GI, Head, phososensitivity, QT prolongation, articular cartilage erosion (AVOID IN PREGOS)

37
Q

FQs interactions?

A

Inhibits P450A2 (cipfo and levo do)

38
Q

Describe the coverage of FQs

A

Broad G- coverage!

39
Q

Describe the coverage of tetracyclines

A

BROAD

40
Q

Tetracyclines static or cidal

A

static - ribosome binding is reversible

41
Q

Sulfonamides AEs

A

Urinary aggregates; hematologic disorders with G6PD; allergy, displacing plasma binders

42
Q

Resistance of tetracyclines?

A

Resistance to one means resistance to all

43
Q

Discuss important tetracycline ADME

A

Abs is inhib by di/trivalent cations so do not take with dairy or antacids

44
Q

Doxy excretion?

A

hepatic - bile - so no dosing adjustment needed

45
Q

Tetracycliens - ok for pregos?

A

No - crosses over and deposits into developing bones

46
Q

Most toxic effects of tetracyclines are due to

A

The effect the drug has on normal gut flora, especially candidiasis infections of the GI tract

47
Q

Tetracyclines common AEs and doxy specifics

A

avitaminosis, superinfections, gut flora chgs, bone growth depression, complexing with Ca2+
