Warfarin
Fibrinolytic drug (tissue plasminogen activator (given IV to dissolve clot( can be given for stroke)
Alteplase
Penicillin (narrow spectrum)(inhibiton of cell wall synthesis)
Low toxicity, high incidence of allergic reaction, short duration, orally has incomplete absorption(give IV)
Penicillin G
Penicillin, (narrow spectrum)(inhibiton of cell wall synthesis)
Low toxicity, high incidence of allergic reaction, short duration, orally has incomplete absorption(give IV)
Penicillin V
Penicillin (Extended antibacterial spectrum)(inhibition of cell wall synthesis)
Best PCN for oral absorption, most widly used antibiotic, only side effects are in extreme doses can cause CNS excitation and seizures
Amoxicillin
Penicillin (cephalosporin) extended spectrum, divided into generation, each generation is more effective against G- bacteria
Low toxicity, high incidence of allergic reaction, short duration, orally has incomplete absorption(give IV)
Cephalexin
Macrolide antibiotic (extended antibacterial spectrum)(inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis)(binds to specific sites on ribosomes)(selsctive toxicity)(given once a day)
Few side effects
Azithromycin
Tetracycline (broad spectrum)(inhibition of bacterial synthesis 30S ribosome) (is the tetracycline of choice b/c of excellent absorption in GI, long half life and few side effects)
Side effects include drug deposition in tooth enamel
Doxycycline
Fluoroquinolone (broad spectrum) (are bacteriacidal)(altered nucleic acid metabolism)(side effects are generally mild, but can cause damage to cartilage)(antacids inhibit absorption of this drug)
Levofloxacin
Sulfanimide (broad spectrum antibiotic) (inhibit bacterial nucleic synthesis)used to treat UTI and often given with sulfamethoxazole)( Inhibition of bacterial folic acid biosynthesis and recycling)
Trimethoprim
Sulfanimide (usually administered with trimthoprim) (the 2 drugs have a synergistc effect b/c an essential bacterial pathway is inhibited at 2 different points) together used for UTI, alone this drug is used for pneumonia and sinus infections)
Sulfamethoxazole
Azoles (Inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis) (will penetrate the BBB) (effective orally and given IV for serious infections) IV side effects include liver toxicity, GI distress, or endocrine abnormalities
