A patient has HIV and you want to prescribe a drug that binds directly to the enzyme nucleotide-reverse transcriptase. Which is the DOC?
Efavirenz
Remember this drug induces P450 CYP3A4
Teratogenic
Which of the nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors causes pancreatitis?
Didanosine
Remember to shut off if lactic acidosis or hepatoxicity occurs
I say Buffalo hump, abdominal fat, thin face, Stevens Johnson
You say HIV Protease inhibitors, Ritonavir, Atazanavir, Tripranavir, Saquinavir

Amphotericin B
Which antifungal is known to cause significant bone marrow suppression and anemia
Flucytosine
Which antifungal causes porphyria?
Griseofulvin
I cause lymphocytes to lyse and have a very broad effect and should be given in a pulsatile fashion

I am a calcineurin inhibitor and cause gingival hyperplasia
Cyclosporine
I am the DOC for organ transplant maintenance and I also am known to cause significant insomnia.
Tacrolimus
I am the mammalian target of rhabdomycin and I block the T-cells from responding to IL-2
Sirolimus
I am a cell proliferation inhibitor and I am known to be severely toxic to bone marrow, causing anemia and leukopenia.
Sirolimus
I am famous for being able to put out a fire in the immune system after T-cells have already established a response to a foreign organ
Cyclophosphamide
I am selective for T & B cells and I inhibit purine synthesis enzyme inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase.
Mycophenolate Mofetil
I inhibit purine synthesis and am selective for T& B cells plus cause a severe rash as a side effect.
Mycophenolate Mofetil
Of the two drugs we need to know that target T cells and are calcinurin inhibitors, I should not be taken with grapefruit juice and you should monitor me if I am being taken with an ACE or ARB.
Tacrolimus
I block the production of TNF alpha and am a category X drug
Thalidomide
I am a calcineurin inhibitor which means I am selective for T-cells. I'm interesting because I should not be taken with food and am very neurotoxic
Tacrolimus
I am an antibody immuno suppressor and I block IL2 on activated T-cells, have an extremely long half life and am used in kidney transplants.
Daclizumab/Basiliximab
If you want to use me its a good idea to pre-treat with prednisone because I am known to cause cytokine release syndrome.
Muromonab CD3
I'm made from horses and rabbits and am an IgG antibody
Lymphocyte immune Globulin (AtGam)
I am used to treat relapsing and remitting Multiple sclerosis
Beta Seron B1b
If you use me to stimulate T-B-and NK cells I should be in the hospital because I am gonna have a ton of problems
Interleukin-2
You will want to get my help when a patient has renal cell carcinoma or malignant melanoma
Interleukin 2
I'm an immunomodulator and I cause significant blood clots and hypertension while I try to fix your anemia from chemo
Epoetin
You will want to use me when you have a Neutropenia from a stem cell transplant or chemo and man do I ever hurt your bones. You will hate me.
G-CSF (Neupogen)
I work on IL-11 and I prevent chemo induced thrombocytopenia so you won't need to give platelets. While I'm helpful in this respect I also cause fluid retention and have been known to cause a dilutional anemia.
Oprelvekin
I'm used to stimulate Macrophages, B-cells, T-cells, and NK cells plus I cause severe hypotension.
Interleukin-2
I'm a Calcineurin inhibitor and you will need to up my dose when you are taking phenytoin or rifampin because I share CYP3A with those guys.
Cyclosporine
If you are taking erythromycin, ketoconazole, grapefruit juice and verapamil you will need to decrease my dose because I inhibit CYP3A. Hint I am a calcineurin inhibitor.
