Types of Drugs
Cell wall Synthesis Inhibitors
-Penicillins
-Cephalosporins
-Monobactams
-Carbapenems
-Vancomycin
Intended
Responses
-Bactericidal
-Prevent bacteria from
forming cell walls
YOUR NAME_____________________________________
Side Effects
Adverse Effects
-More likely to cause
allergic reactions
-With more powerful
drugs- nausea/vomiting,
fever, chills, “red man
syndrome,” reduced
hearing, reduced kidney
function
CNS changes, kidney
damage
Protein Synthesis Inhibitors
-Aminoglycosides
-Tetracyclines
-Macrolides
-Clindamycin
-Linezolid
-Streptogramins
-Bacteriostatic
-Inhibit bacterial cell
functions
-Likely to cause
confusion, depression,
skin allergic reactions,
gastrointestinal
disturbances
Kidney changes
-Ototoxic and
nephrotoxic
Metabolism Inhibitors
-Sulfonamides
-Trimethoprim
-Combinations
-Bacteriostatic
-Synergistic inhibition
of amino acid and
nucleic acid synthesis
-Aplastic
-Mouth sores
-Joint aches
-Bruising or bleeding
-nausea, vomiting
-Dermatitis
-Pancytopenia
-Precipitation in the
urinary tract
DNA Synthesis
Inhibitors
-Fluoroquinolones
-Bacteriostatic
-Interfere with the
supercoiling of DNA of
micro-organisms
-Gastrointestinal tract
-Anaphylaxis
upsets, CNS disturbances, -Seizures
hypersensitivity reactions -Steven Johnsons
syndrome
Administering
Patient Teaching
Check before:
-Allergy to penicillin
(increased risk for
cephalosporin allergy)
-Give vancomycin
SLOWLY
Check after:
-Monitor for allergic
reaction
-Take cephalosporins at
least 1 hr before or 4
hrs after iron or antacid
Check before
-Allergy to Sulfites
(increased allergy to
Aminoglycoside allergy)
-Do not take
Tetracyclines with milk
Check after:
-Monitor for urine
output
Check before
-Allergy to Sulphur
compounds
Check after:
-Check for Crystalluria
and hypersensitivities
Check before:
If patient is using
NSAIDs or Theophylline
to avoid interactions
Life Span Considerations
Pediatric:
-More powerful drugs
reserved for serious infections
only
Pregnancy and breastfeeding:
-Penicillins, most
Cephalosporins category B
-Carbapenems,
monobactams, vancomycin
category C
-Excreted in breast milk
Older adults:
-Ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity
more likely
Pediatric:
Tetracyclines contraindicated
due to damage to growing
bones and teeth
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Tetracyclines contraindicated
Older adults
Nephrotoxicity more likely
Pediatric
Do not give in infants less
than two months
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy category B but
avoid at term
Older adults
Kidney changes likely
Pediatric:
-Reserved for specific
infections like pyelonephritis
and inhalation anthrax
Pregnancy and breastfeeding:
Antiviral Drugs
-Acyclovir
-Valacyclovir
-Slow viral
reproduction by
forming “counterfeit”
DNA bases and by
inhibiting the enzymes
needed to complete
the formation of viral
DNA chains.
-Most effective against
EpsteinBarr virus,
cytomegalovirus,
herpes simplex virus
types 1 and 2, varic
-Headache, dizziness,
nausea, vomiting.
-Less common side
effects are rash, muscle
aches, and a sense of not
feeling well (malaise).
-Reduce kidne...
