● a glycopeptide antibiotic
● used as a prophylaxis and treatment of infections w/ Gram + bacteria
●MOA= prevents polymerization of peptidoglycans in bacterial cell wall
● renal clearance
● IV administration only. Not absorbed orally because hydrophilic and large
Theophylline
●methylxanthine drug
●↑cAMP
●respiratory disease (COPD) or asthma
●f=90-100% oral
●narrow therapeutic index
●at high conc. approaches zero order kinetics
●metabolized in liver to demethylated xanthines which are excreted in the urine
Warfarin
●anticoagulant
●inhibits normal synthesis of Vit K dependent clotting factor in liver II, VII, IX and X and protein C and S
●f=90-100% oral

●protein bound
●metabolized by liver
Phenytoin
●antiepileptic
●inhibits high freq AP by binding to voltage sensitive Na channels of neurons
●f=90-100% oral
●acts by stabilizing the inactive state of voltage gated Na+ channels
●zero order kinetics at high concentration
●metabolized in the liver
●2 component distribution
Digoxin
●used to treat atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and congestive heart failure
●inhibits the cellular Na+/K+ ATPase pump to increase intracellular Na which impairs Na/Ca exchanger and increases intracelluar Ca.
●f=90-100% oral
●renal and hepatic clearance

●2 compartment distribution
Lidocaine
●local anesthetic
●antiarrhythmic
●Na channel blocker
●f=30-35% oral
●extensive first-pass metabolism inthe liver
●2 compartment distribution profile
Gentamicin
●aminoglycoside antibiotic
●binds to 30s ribosomal subunit and inhibits protein synthesis
●used to treat bacterial infections esp. gram -
●is nephrotoxic
●renal clearance
Tobramycin
●doesn't pass GI tract so only administered IV/IM
●renal clearance
Tobramycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat various types of bacterial infections, particularly Gram-negative infections.

Tobramycin works by binding to a site on the bacterial 30S and 50S ribosome, causing the genetic code to be misread, leading to a defective bacterial cell membrane.
Penicillin G
●used in the prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by gram + bacteria
●prevents peptidoglycan cross-linking
●renal and hepatic clearance
●elimination dependent on renal function
●half life can increase 20 fold in renal failure
Aspirin
●analgesic
●antipyretic (fever reducer)
●anti-inflammation
●Cox-1 & Cox-2 inhibitor to prevent conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins
●zero order elimination at high concentration
EtOH
●MIXED ORDER KINETICS of elimination at high concentration
Propranolol
●β-blocker
●used to treat hypertension
●f=30-35% oral
●extensive first pass metabolism
●lipid soluble
● large Vd
