Cards

Term
can cause metabolic acidosis by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase
Definition
Mafenide --> topical Sulfonamide for burns
Term
used in synergistic combination with sulfamethoxazole but can cause blood dyscrasias
Definition
Trimethoprim
Term
cross the placenta and have unwanted side effects in the fetus; such as permanent hearing loss or ototoxicity
Definition
AMinoglycosides
Term
Crystalluria;kernicterus; blood dyscrasias; hypersensitivity including erythema multiforme, stevens-johnson syndrome syndrome; Rx fever
Definition
Sulfonamide
Term
fever, headache, cough, conjunctivitis followed by macules on face neck and other areas eventually forming bullous eruptions on skin and mucous membranes
Definition
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
Term
sudden onset of asymptomatic macules, papules, vesicles on extremities and face
Definition
Erythema multiforme
Term
decreases clearence of theophylline
Definition
Ciprofloxacin
Term
inhibits CYP1A and consequen
Definition
Term
inhibits CYP1A and consequent metabolism of tizanidine; sedation, hypotension, hallucinations
Definition
Ciprofloxacin
Term
inhibits CYP34A and decreases metbaolism of opiods; e.g. methadone --> respiratory depression
Definition
Ciprofloxacin
Term
avoid if conduction anomalies; Torsades de Pointes FDA warning: can result in acute hepatitis and fatal events, although rare
Definition
Levofloxacin
Term
can prolong Q-T interval in healthy patients; caution in the case of hepatic disease; metabolized mainly by the liver
Definition
Moxifloxacin
Term
Phototoxicity, Arthropathy, tendon rupture [black box] risk greater if on steroids or over 65; unstable blood glucose levels if on insulin or hypoglycemics; convulsions or psychosis; nausea and vomiting and diarrhea; major cause of c. difficile
Definition
Flouroquinilones
Term
can increase hypoglycemic activity of sulfonylureases
Definition
Sulfonamides
Term
chelation with mono and di-valent cations; avoid use of antacids or iron supplements
Definition
floroquinolones
Term
some patients are allergic to ester compounds so this penicillin formulation is not preferred
Definition
Procaine Penecillin
Term
compete with uric acid and probenicid for excretion
Definition
Pencillin-G
Term
70-90% of patients with secondary syphillis; fever, chills, headache, neuralgia
Definition
Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction; PCN
Term
risk of seizures of BBB is penetrated; risk increases with decreased kidney function
Definition
PCN; they block GABA receptors
Term
Hypersensitivity from metabolites acting as haptens; rashes, fever, bronchospasms, serum sickness, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis
Definition
PCN; penicilloic acid is the main offender
Term
bullous eruptions in airway
Definition
Stevens-Johnson syndrome
Term
Diarrhea and Superinfection are common side effects of all antibiotics; why?
Definition
kills of normal flora in the bowel which regulates fluid and electrolyte balance
Term
MTT side chain antagonizes Vitamin K; hypoprothombinemia --> increased bleeding
Definition
Cefotetan; do not use with blood thinners
Term
Reversible Sludge; pseudolithiasis (kids are most vulnerable)

also acute hepatitis
Definition
Ceftriaxone
Term
reddens feces due to inhibition of iron absorption
Definition
Cefdinir; 3rd generation Cephalosorins
Term
neurologic side effects: myoclonus, disorientation, EEG changes, risk if epileptic
Definition
Ceftazidime; 3rd generation cephalosporin IV/IM
Term
myoclonus, disorientaiton, EEG changes, risk if epileptic and primarily renally excreted
Definition
Cefepime; 4th generation cephalosporin with good CNS penetration for G- rods resistant to 3rd generation
Term
IV pro-Rx used for MRSA CABP with side effects -- nausea diarrhea and rash
Definition
Ceftraroline; 4th generation Cephalosporin
Term
Risk of cross allergy with PCN (greatest for 1st generation and negligible for 2nd and 3rd unless PCN hypersensitivity has been documented); nephrotoxicity but less than aminoglycosides; FDA -- immune mediated hemolytic anemia
Definition
Cephalosporins
Term
excreted unchanged in the urine and dose must be adjusted for renal toxicity; crosses inflamed meninges; monobactam
Definition
Aztreonam --> for G- organisms and usually long filamentous bacteria that eventually lyse
Term
N& V, 1.5% seizures
Definition
Imipenem; formulated with cilastatin
Term
0.5% seizures and not metabolized by dihyropeptidase
Definition
Meropenem
Term
decreased levels of valproic acid and increased risk of seizures
Definition
Carbepenems
Term
rapid IV; flushing of upper body, face, hypotension, tachycardia and shock-->release of histamine;ototoxicity;nephrotoxicity
Definition
Red Man syndrome; vancomycin; not absorbed orally but can be used to treat pseudomembrane colitis
Term
so nephrotoxic it can only be used topically; Group A strep is sensitive to it
Definition
Bacitracin
Term
renal failure; must monitor peaks and troughs
vertigo, ataxia, loss of balance
accumulates in fetal plasma
Definition
AMinoglyhcosides
Term
possibly less ototoxic than gentamicin
Definition
Tobramycin
Term
neuromuscular block; respiratory paralysis can be a concern in patient who has been under anesthesia; can give neostigmine to balance or Calcium IV
Definition
Aminoglycosides; blocks Ca uptake in nerve terminals decreasing calcium release
Term
GI upset, brown discoloration of teeth, slow bone growth, photosensitivty; nausea, vomiting, polyuria, polydypsia, glucosuria, aminoaciduria, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis
Definition
Side effects common to all Tetracyclines; Falconi-like syndrom from expired antibiotic metabolite
Term
pulmonary lupus, pleural effusions, hypersensitivity pneumonitis; SLE like syndrome when ANA +; black pigmentation of gums and thyroid, pigementation of nails, skin and sclera (reversible)
Definition
Minocycline
Term
should not be taken with milk, dairy products or antacids
Definition
Tetracyclines
Term
inhibits CYP3A; increases risk of sudden death 2X, 5X if used with diltiazem or verapamil; torsades de points

Term
has caused dangerously low blood sugar; fatality risk when used with colchicine due to inhibition of CYP3A
Definition
