pt comes in and has very bad sunburn from limited exposure to the sun..what caused this
tetracyclines

photosensitive
Pt grabs an old bottle of tetracycline. They feel like they have an infection so they start popping it even though the expiration date is well past due. What can this cause?
Fanconi syndrome

kidney tox!
Chloramphenicol acts where?
Protein Synthesis Inhibitors acting at the 50S ribosome
this is a drug of last resort, for life-threatening infections.

Dose-dependent
Reversible
what is an idiosyncratic response?

what drug has a tox that can act like this?
just pops up out of nowhere

Chloramphenicol

(remember it can wipe out bone marrow, so it could kill someone)
