Oxalodinones name
Nlinezolid
Oxalodinones pharmacodynamics. Action, what is it effective against
Inhibitors of bacterial ribosomal protein synthesis
Most effective against aerobic gram-positive bacteria
Resistance emerging
Oxalodinones pharmacokinetics
Well absorbed orally
Does not use CYP450 enzymes
Oxalodinones ADR
Diarrhea, headache, nausea
Myelosuppression has been reported; resolves with discontinuation of drug
Linezolid (oxalodinone) clincial use
MRSA pneumonia
Uncomplicated skin infections
Use less expensive drugs first
Oxalodinone linezolid can be used in
vancomycin resistant enterocacus.
Vancomycin is
exepensive, but oral form is less expensive than IV
Sulfonamides block
folic acid synthesis
trimethoprim inhibits
dna synthesis
nitrofurantoin may inhibit
acetyl coenzymes
Sulfonamides, trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin all
inhibit both gram-positive and gram negative bacteria
. coli, S. pyogenes, S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, and some protozoa
What is an issue with sulfonamides, trimethoprim, nitrofurantoin, and fosfomycin
resistance
Sulfonimide example
bactrim
ADR for Sulfonamides, Trimethoprim, Nitrofurantoin, and Fosfomycin
ADRs: GI – anorexia, n/v, diarrhea, stomatitis; rashes, increased hypersensitivity reactions, photosensitivity; CNS – headache, dizziness, drug interactions
Avoid in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency
Use cautiously in renal impairment
Clinical use for Sulfonamides, Trimethoprim, Nitrofurantoin, and Fosfomycin
Most commonly used in UTI infections
MRSA is susceptible in some areas
Sulfonamides, Trimethoprim, Nitrofurantoin, and Fosfomycin rational for drug selection
Low-cost alternative in children older than 2 months and in those with PCN allergies
Monitoring for Sulfonamides, Trimethoprim, Nitrofurantoin, and Fosfomycin
Control and status if treating UTI
Long-term use: check complete blood count (CBC)
Chest x-ray in patients who develop a cough when on nitrofurantoin
Chest x-ray in patients who develop a cough when on
nitrofurantoin
Tetracyclines and Doxycycline drug class
Tetracycline
Tetracycline pharmacodynamics
Bind reversibly to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome
What decreases absorbtion with tetracycline
food
especially milk and calcium. Don’t take a multivitamin with it
Precautions and contraindications
Tetracyclines
Do not prescribe to pregnant women (category D), lactating women, or children age less than 8 years.
Drug interactions: many
Tetracyclines
Clinical use and dosing
Doxycycline is considered first-line therapy for C. trachomatis and Ureaplasma urealyticum.
Tetracycline and minocycline are used to treat P. acnes
Tetracyclines
Rational drug selection
Doxycycline and minocycline can be taken with food. still no calcium
