Term
Definition
nitrofurantoin   treats UTIs; take with food; turns urine brown  
🗑
methenamine   effective when urine pH is less than 5.5; should not be taken with sulfonamides because this increases the risk of crystalluria; used for chronic UTI  
🗑
antispasmodic   relieves spasms, oxybutynin; anticholinergic side effects  
🗑
levothyroxine   taken every day for the rest of life; monitor for overcorrection - thyrotoxicosis, osteoporosis; take on an empty stomach, safe in pregnancy  
🗑
methimazole   avoid during pregnancy; preferred hyperthyroid drug; toxicity agranulocytosis  
🗑
sulfonylureas   stimulate release of insulin, used for type 2; cannot be used with liver or kidney dysfunction; glipizide  
🗑
biguanides (Metformin)   inhibits glucose production in the liver, reduces glucose absorption in small intestine, treatment immediately for type 2  
🗑
general side effects of antibiotics   anaphylaxis, N/V/D, superinfections  
🗑
glycopeptide   for gram positive (MRSA AND C DIFF); report red man's syndrome, affects renal function and hearing; given with water and protect from sun exposure  
🗑
metronidazole   anaerobic organisms only, commonly GI tract; dry mouth and metallic taste; prolonged QT interval; no alcohol  
🗑
tetracycline   empty stomach with water, makes contraceptives less effective, teeth discoloration; do not give to children younger than 8 years  
🗑
INH   anti tubercular; take pyroxidine to prevent peripheral neuropathy  
🗑
rifampin   can turn body fluids orange and discolor contact lenses  
🗑
amphotericin B   highly toxic and dangerous, IV only for severe systemic fungal infections  
🗑
amphotericin B pre treatment   diphenhydramine, acetaminophen and hydrocortisone 30 to 60 minutes before  
🗑
antiviral second generation   PO, active against both and preferred - better tolerance; taken within 48 hours to make person healthier sooner  
🗑
chronic HBV treatment   1 alpha interferon, 4 nucleoside analogs - PO, delays progression to liver disease; vaccine is available  
🗑
hepatitis C treatment - protease inhibitors   ledipasivir/ sofosbuvir; cures type 1 but expensive  
🗑
methods to eradicate malaria   prophylaxis, treating acute attack, prevent relapse  
🗑
chloroquine   inhibits parasitic growth; effects cranial nerve 8 - hearing and balance, photosensitivity; agranulocytosis; ECG changes  
🗑
medication adherence to ART   needs to be 95%, missing doses can cause drug resistance  
🗑
ART goals   decrease viral load to 20 to 40 copies, increase CD4  
🗑
hold chemotherapy   signs of dehydration, fever over 100.5, presence of neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, tumor complications  
🗑
side effects of antineoplastics   alopecia, dehydration, fatigue and weakness; these are because of the harm to healthy cells  
🗑
myelosuppression due to antineoplastics   anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia  
🗑
cell cycle specific   only work in S and M phase, not G0; antimetabolites, alkylating agents, vinca alklaloids  
🗑
cell cycle non specific   most effective against proliferating cells  
🗑
nitrogen mustard analogue   CCNS alkylating agent; to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis given Mesna to reduce hematuria and increase fluids  
🗑
anthracycline   anti tumor antibiotic turns urine red color; monitor for ECG changes  
🗑
plant alkaloids   anti mitotic blocks cell division at M phase  
🗑
epoeitn   stimulates RBC production; decreases length of post treatment neutropenia and permits delivery of higher doses; can lead to blood clots and hypertension  
🗑
filgrastim   increases WBC in bone marrow, regulates production of neutrophils; is not given 24 hours before or after chemotherapy  
🗑
bactrim side effects   photosensitivity and crystalluria

intermediate acting   NPH insulin - Humulin N and Novolin N  
🗑
long acting insulin   glargine, detemir; used for someone with more stable BG  
🗑
sulfonylureas 2nd generation   increases tissue response to insulin; longer duration of action and fewer side effects; disadvantage - greater hypoglycemia potency  
🗑
biguanides side effects   decreased B12 levels and folic acid deficiency; does not cause hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia  
🗑
external insulin pump   external like pancreas, basal rate and bolus according to food; check BG 4 times daily  
🗑
narrow spectrum antibiotics   preferred because broad spectrum lead to more resistance  
🗑
drugs with narrow therapeutic range   vancomycin, amino glycosides because of their renal and ototoxicity  
🗑
treatment for penicillin anaphylaxis   epinephrine, steroids, antihistamine  
🗑
sulfonamides avoided   during pregnancy; can cause malformations and neural tube defects; contraindicated during breastfeeding because of risk of kernicterus
