Side effects Flashcards
Amphotericin B Deoxycholate
BW: do NOT exceed 1.5 mg/kg/day because of cardiopulmonary arrest
SE: infusion related rxn (fever, HA, malaise, rigors), decreased K, decreased Mg, NEPHROTOXICITY
*compatible with D5W only
*requires premedication to prevent infusion rxn:
- APAP, NSAID
-Benadryl, Hydrocortisone
-NS bolus to help with nephrotoxicity
- maybe meperidine to decrease rigors
Amphotericin B + Digoxin is a high risk of what?
Hypokalemia
Liposomal Amphotericin B (AmBisone
BW: cardiopulmonary arrst and death
SE: infusion rxn, nephrotoxicity (less likely), hypokalemia, hypomagnesia
Liposomal Amp B + Tacrolimus would be a higher risk of what?
Nephrotoxicity
Flucytosine (prodrug of fluoruracil)
mainly used for crypto!
MYELOSUPPRESSION
nephrotoxicity
hepatoxicity
hypokalemia

penetrates into the CNS really well!!!! meningitis treatment :)
