Tobramycin | Aminoglycoside Best activity agains P. Aeruginosa for bacteremia, osteomyelitis, peneumonia Inhalation doasage form for P. aeruginosa in CF patients verigo/nehprotox |
Amikacin | Aminoglycoside Most effective against resistant gram negative hospital acquired infections. Less active against enterococcus Auditory/nephrotox |
Sulfamethoxazole | Used in combination with trimethoprim |
Sulfasalazine | 90% broken into sulfapyridine by flora in the colon this treats ulcerative colitis. |
Silver sulfadiazine | Topical cream Appears to work on cell wall Adjunct therapy for burn infections |
Trimethoprim | Anti-folate, inhibits dihydrofolate reductase Treats UTIs caused by common gram negatives Completely orally absorbed Rash in extended treatment hematological effects-esp alcoholics teratogen, hyper K |
TMP-SMX | Best for acute, uncomplicated UTIs. Also Chronic treatment. AIDS patients experience high rate of side effects |
Pneumocystitis jiroveci | Life threatening pneumonia in AIDS patients. Drug of choice is TMP-SMX. Second line is Pentamidine isethionate. Prednisone also used in treatment |
Pentamidine | Used for Pneumocystitis jiroveci. Second line. Injectable for treatment, inhalant for prophylaxis. ADRs include hypotension, hypoglycemia (then diabetes after therapy), and bronchospasm when inhaled. |
Vancomycin | IV. Adjust dose in renal failure. Used for staph and serious gram+ infections Given oral to treat C difficile diarrhea Give with 3rd generation ceph for menigitis Oto/nephrotox (with aminoglycoside) RED MAN |
Clindamycin | Treats abcesses, MRSA. Does not penetrate CNS. Prevents endocarditis in dental procedures. Pseudomembranous colitis from difficle |

Quinupristin/Dalfopristin | IV treatment for life threatening, vancomycin-resistant, enterococcus faecium and staph |
Linezolid | Vancomycin resistant faecium, hospital acquired pneumonia, MRSA Reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase, tyramine rich foods are contraindicated |
Amphotericin B | Binds to sterols in fungal membranes. Nephrotoxic, reversible anemia. |
Ketoconazole | Fungistatic at low concentrations, cidal at high. Oral, 99% protein bound. Causes endocrine abnormalities, ihibit steroid synthesis 6 month treatment |
Miconazole | Monistat. Intravaginal candiasis. |
Flucanazole | 25-30hr half life. |

Palivizumab | Monoclonal antibody to F protein of respiratory synctial virus. |
Amantadine | blocks viral penetration and uncoating, buffers the ph of endosomes, and blocks the M2 viral protein channel. Used for influenza A virus. Antiparkinsonian. ADRs: CNS related. |
Zanamivir | Orally inhaled, decreases realease of influenza A AND B from infected cells. |
Oseltamivir. | Same as zanamavir, but can be taken orally. |
Ribavirin | Purine nucleoside. Aerosol Only used for infants. inhibits viral rna polymerase. Can stop respiratory function, testicular lesions, teratogenic, not to be administered by pregnant doctors. Used for RSV and Chronic Hep C |
