Pharm - Teratogens, STDs, Bladder issues, Ovarian Chemo Flashcards
HSV drugs
Acyclovir or Famciclovir or Valacyclovir for 7-10 days
Acyclovir and Valacyclovir MOA
competitively inhibits viral DNA polymerase; competes with deoxyguanosine triphosphate for incorporation into viral DNA; requires activation intracellularly in thymidine kinase
Famciclovir MOA
metabolized (de-acetylated) to penciclovir, does not cause chain termination
Acyclovir, Valacyclovir AE
crystalline neurotoxicity including seizures, and nephrotoxicity; make sure patient is well hydrated to avoid; adjust dose in renal dysfunction
Syphilis treatment
Benzathine Penicillin G intramuscularly
Benzathine Penicillin MOA
binds PBP causing cell lysis; IM allows 2 week depot of the drug; poor CSF penetration (not effective in CNS infection)
Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction
observed in patients with syphilis after initial penicillin injection; chills, fever, HA, myalgias, arthralgias, increased edema/color at cutaneous lesion; fades within 48hrs
Chlamydia treatment
Azithromycin or Doxycycline or Erythromycin or Levofloxacin or Ofloxacin; in pregnancy use Amoxicillin
Azithromycin, Erythromycin MOA
binds 50s ribosomal subunit, bacteriostatic
Doxycycline MOA
binds 30s ribosomal subunit, bacteriostatic
Levofloxacin MOA
inhibits DNA gyrase (topo II) in gram negative, bactericidal; inhibits topo IV in gram-positive, bactericidal
Ofloxacin MOA
inhibits topo IV in gram-positive, bactericidal; inhibits DNA gyrase (topo II) in gram negative, bactericidal
Amoxicillin MOA
bactericidal beta-lactam; binds PBPs causing cell lysis
Erythromycin PKPD
short half life, P-gp and CYP3A4 substrate and inhibitor; minimal elim in urine most in stool
Azithromycin AE
GI upset; vaginitis
Doxycycline AE
GI upset, hepatic damage in high dose esp in pregnancy (cat D); photosensitivity with sunlight
Erythromycin AE
GI upset; increases toxicity of CYP3A4 substrates; estolate preparations may cause cholestatic jaundice; risk of cardiac death with 3A4 inhibitors; may cause hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in neonates
Levofloxacin and Ofloxacin AE
taste disturbance, GI upset, BBW of tendonitis and rupture and exacerbation of muscle weakness; Cat C for pregnancy
Drugs for Chancroid
Azithromycin, Ceftriazone, Ciprofloxacin, or Erythromycin
Ceftriaxone MOA
bactericidal beta lactam: binds PBPs causing cell lysis
Ciprofloxacin MOA
inhibits DNA gyrase (topo II) in gram negative: bactericidal; inhibits topo IV in gram-positive: bactericidal
Ciprofloxacin and pregnancy
Contraindicated; distributes into breast milk and crosses placenta
Treatment of gonococcal infections of cervix, urethra, rectum
Ceftriaxone or Cefixime, plus Azithromycin or Doxycycline
Treatment of gonococcal infections of pharynx
Cetriaxone plus Azithromycin or Doxycycline
