Pharm - STIs Flashcards
What is the treatment for N.gonorrhoea
Ceftriaxone (injection) - gonorrhoea
Ceftriaxone + doxycycline - multiple infection (gonorrhoea + chlamydia)
what is the treatment for chlamydia trachomatis
Doxycycline or Azithromycin - Chlamydia D-K
or Levofloxacin
Ceftriaxone + doxycycline - multiple infection (gonorrhoea + chlamydia)
What is the treatment for Mycoplasma genitalium
Doxycycline or Azithromycin
Moxifloxacin (macroplide resistant infections)
treatment for syphillis
Penicillin injection
If allergic: doxycycline or azithromycin
treatment for HSV-2
Acyclovir
Lymphogranuloma venerum (LGW) genital ulcer treatment
Doxycycline
Azithromycin
Erythromycin
bacterial vaginosis treatment

Metronidazole
Trichomoniasis (trichomonas vaginalis):
vulvovaginitis treatment

Treat both partners
candida albicans treatment
Ketoconazole, Itraconazole, fluconazole (oral)

Sarcoptes scabei (scabies) treatment
Permethrin
Crotamiton
Ivermectin (oral)
treatment genital ulcers (caued by HSV-2)
aceteaminophen, ibuprofen
warm water immersion, epsom salts, tea tree
differences in anitviral therapies:
acyclovir
famciclovir
valacyclovir
acyclovir - more frequent dosing
famciclovir - greatest bioavailability
valacyclovir - monophosphate form incoorporates into viral DNA - chain termination
acyclovir MOA
antiviral
guanosine derivative causing chain termination
activated by viral thymidine kinase –> converted mono–>di–>tri by host enzymes –> inhibits viral DNA polymerase = chain termination (lack of 3’OH group)
issue of Doxycycline
benefit of Minocycline
D - hepatotoxic - handled by bile (doxy ok for renal insufficiency)
M - less phototoxicity
Tetracyclines - MOA & Adverse
i.e. doxycycline
MOA - binds reversibly to 30S subunit, bacteriostatic, block binding aminoacyl-tRNA on m-RNA-ribosome complex
Adverse - phototoxicity, hepatic injury, nephrotoxocity (doxy safe), Fanconi syndrome, stunted growth
