Tetracycline ADRs   Erosive/sclerosing Renal fail @ expirn Teeth staining; bone growth impaired; teratogenic Photosenstivity (highest w/ democlocycline) Hepatotoxicity (w/ high dose in renal failure) NVD anti-anabolic: raise BUN, acidosis, hyperphosphatemia  
🗑
Minocycline ADRs   Vertigo (more in women) Skin & mucous membrane pigmentation Lupus-like symptoms  
🗑
TCN DDIs   Anticonvulsants (Carbamazepine, Phenytoin, Phenobarbital) decrease [TCN] Antagonistic w/ PCNs (static, while PCNs are cidal) Lowers efficacy of OCs! Complex w/ Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, Al, bismuth, binding resins Isotretinoin causes benign cranial hype

🗑
Tigecycline (Tigacil)   distributes best to GI organs. Indicated for IA infections. Can Tx DR enterococcus. Also for cSSIs. Don't give in pneumonia; increases mortality! Requires dose adjustment in hepatic impairment Elevates LFTs NV (slow rate to fix), AAD  
🗑
Drugs for IA infections   Tigecycline, cefoxitan and cefotetan, moxiflox, iminem, erbipenem. Zosyn & Unasyn too, but freq dosing is inconvenient  
🗑
Tetracycline SoA (all TCNs except Tigecycline)   They treat rare/WEIRD organisms. 2nd line for atypicals (after 1st line Quinolones) along with macrolides broad spectrum of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria including intracellular pathogens G- & G+ We don't use very often though b/c of ADRs  
🗑
Demeclocycline   for Tx of SIADH only! Causes hyponatremia, fluid overload, concentrated urine.  
🗑
