|
What are the AE of macrolides
|
erythromycin = GI upset & abdominal cramping is common with N/V/D (less problematic w/ newer drugs)
- certain salt forms of erythromycin may induce hepatotoxicity |
|
what is the MOA of penicillins:
|
- bactericidal
- bind to specific penicillin-binding-proteins that inhibit peptidoglycan cross-linking necissary for the integrity of the cell wall |
|
Indications for penicillins:
|
different types of penicillins have different spectra of activity which will be discussed by drug grouping

|
|
common AE of penicillinase resistant penicillins:
|
- similar to other penicillins:
GI upset and hypersensitivity rxns |
