combination- progesterone and estrogen
|
norethindrone/levonorgestral/medroxyprogesterone and ethynil estradiol/ conjugated estrogens (Ortho-novum, Allese, Prempro)
class: oral contraceptives/HRT action: interfere with gonadotropin-releasing hormone, LH, FSH release; maintain stable hormone levels, relax uterus, limit endometrial proliferation, promote vasomotor stability, prevent bone loss PO side effects: breakthrough bleeding, HTN, amenorrhea, HA, increased risk of gallbladder/ liver disease and thromboemolytic disorders secondary to hypercoagulation, glucose intolerance, decreased breast milk production, depression nursing implications: educate patient |
|
|
estrogen
|
cojugateted estrogens (Premarin)
class: oral contraceptives/HRT action: interfere with gonadotropin-releasing hormone, LH, FSH release; maintain stable hormone levels, relax uterus, limit endometrial proliferation, promote vasomotor stability, prevent bone loss PO side effects: breakthrough bleeding, HTN, amenorrhea, HA, increased risk of gallbladder/ liver disease and thromboemolytic disorders secondary to hypercoagulation, glucose intolerance, decreased breast milk production, depression nursing implications: educate patient |
|
|
progesterone
|
Norethindrone/medroxyprogesterone (Micronor, Provera)
class: oral contraceptives/HRT action: interfere with gonadotropin-releasing hormone, LH, FSH release; maintain stable hormone levels, relax uterus, limit endometrial proliferation, promote vasomotor stability, prevent bone loss PO side effects: breakthrough bleeding, HTN, amenorrhea, HA, increased risk of gallbladder/ liver disease and thromboemolytic disorders secondary to hypercoagulation, glucose intolerance, decreased breast milk production, depression nursing implications: educate patient |
|
|
antibiotics
|
clindamycin (Cleocin)
antibiotic action: inhibits bacterial protein synthesis intravaginal side effects: candidiasis, pruritis, rash, hypersensitivity, abd pain *education on correct use; use as directed even if symptoms cease; report change in symptoms |
|
|
antiprotozoal
|
metronidazole (Flagyl)
antiprotozoal action: enters cells of microorganisms that contain nitroreductase, interfers with DNA synthesis and causes cell death PO side effects: dizziness, weakness, insomnia, abd cramping, anorexia, n/v/d, vaginal dryness, overgrowth of other infectios organisms *avoid alcohol while on med and 48 hours after completion. take with meals, take as directed. treat partner. |
|
|

|
|
antifungals
|
miconazole (Monistat)
antifungals action: believed to bind to sterol in fungal cell membrane, thereby altering cell permeability side efects: pruritis, rash, hypersensitivity, abd pain *educate; use as directed; report side effects |
|
|
antifungals
|
terconazole (Terazole)
antifungals action: believed to bind to sterol in fungal cell membrane, thereby altering cell permeability side efects: pruritis, rash, hypersensitivity, abd pain *educate; use as directed; report side effects |
|
|
antifungals
|
Clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin)
antifungals action: believed to bind to sterol in fungal cell membrane, thereby altering cell permeability side efects: pruritis, rash, hypersensitivity, abd pain *educate; use as directed; report side effects |
|
|

trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim; Septra)
class: antibiotics- sulfamides action: blocks bacterial synthesis of essential nucleic acids side effects: GI upset, anorexia, rash,urticaria,photosensitivity,CNS disturbance, crystals in urine *HYDRATION; take on empty stomach with 8oz H2O; avoin un called for sunlight |
|
|
meds used for infection
|
ofloxacin (Floxin)
class: antibiotic-fluoroquinolones action: inhibit cell wall synthesis side effects: GI upset, CNS disturbance, dizziness, HA, flatuence, rash,photosensitivity, rare but serious: tendon rupture *do not give with antacids, caution with other medication use; renal, hepatic, or CNS disorders |
|
|
meds used for infection

|
|
meds used for cancer of the male repro system
|
leuprolide (Lupron)
class: testosterone-suppressing/blocking agents action: initially stimulates then inhibits FSH and LH to suppress testosterone side effects: GI upset, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, tremor, bone pain, constipation, gynecomastia, CNS disturbance, photosensitivity serios: elevated liver enzymes, arrythmias, MI *store at room temp and out of the light |
|
|
meds used for cancer of the male repro system

action: inhibits androgen uptake and or binding in tissues class: testosterone-suppressing/blocking agents |
|
|
meds used for cancer of the male repro system
|
goserelin (Zoladex)
action: analouge to leutinizing realeasing hormone; works on pituitary to decrease FSH to decrease sex hormones class: testosterone-suppressing/blocking agents |
|
|
meds used for cancer of the male repro system
|
diethylstilbestrol(DES)(estrogen preparation)
class: testosterone-suppressing/blocking agents action: decreases FSH and LH to decrease testosterone side effects: GI upset, CNS disturbance, visual diturbance serious: seizures, HTN, thromboembolism *give wit or after meals; use cautiously with other disease processes or with conditions that lead to prolonged immobilization |
