Penicillin |
Are used to treat pneumonia, meningitis, pharyngitis, infectious endocarditis and syphilis. Cautionfor allegy, renal funtion, hyperkalemia(due to high dosage of penicillin G potassium). Cross allegy to cephalosporin. DO NOT mix penicillin with aminoglycosides in the same IV solution. Decreases amino effect.

Treat urinary tract infection, postoperative infections, pelvic infections and menigitis.
Caution: cross sensitivity to penicillin, bleeding tendencies with cefotetan(gen 2) and cefriaxone(gen 3) (aviod pts with bleeding disorders or anticoagulants. Observe the pt for signs of bleeding. Monitor prothrobin and bleeding time and administer vitamin K) , thrombophlebitis with IV(rotate sites, administer a diluted intermittent infusion or if a bolus dose is prescribed, administer slowly over 3 to 5 min) , pain with IM injection, antibiotic-associated psuedomembranous colitis( observe pt for diarrhea and notify provider, medication should be discontinued).
