Pharmacology Flashcards
Know drug classifications , supplements and their Implication on massage
Bactericidal
antibiotic that leads to cell death of bacteria
Bacteriostatic
Antibiotic that slows or inhibits the growth of the cell, but does not lead to cellular death
Selective Toxicity
the ability of A drug to hone in on a specific Pathogen, rather then cause widespread death
Time-Dependent killing
the amount of time serum concentrations must remain above the minimum effective concentration to cause cellular death or inhibition
Concentration Dependent Killing
serum levels reach a certain level at which cellular death occurs
Drug Resistance
bacteria modulate to different antibiotics , in which case a new Generation of Class must be used
Super-infection
secondary effect of antibiotic without selective toxicity , causing secondary infections due to widespread killing of flora and fauna
Prophylactic Antibiotic Use
to prevent Bacterial endocarditis Before heart surgery. If Individuals have poor dentition or neutropenia or on neutropenics .the process would be : Antibiotics- Dental extraction- Heart surgery
Penicillin (pen-VK
narrow spectrum of action. dental infections.
Penicillin (Pen-augmenten)
Broad spectrum of action. use: Respiratory infections, urinary tract infection, otitis-media, sinusitis
clavulanic acid
beta- lactamase inhibitor in (Pen-augmenten), helps prevent certain bacteria from becoming resistant to augmenten
Cephalosporins (CEF, CEPF)
(cephalexin .cefepim, penicillin), Indicated : GI infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections. Contraindicated:
