Amoxicillin: A Broad Spectrum Antibiotic Amoxicillin though originally introduced in the early 1970′s for oral use in U.K., has found a gradually regular place as broad spectrum antibacterial to treat the infections of various diseases. Amoxicillin has been found to be more effective against gram positive than gram negative microorganisms and demonstrated greater efficacy to penicillin and penicillin V. Moreover, it has been found comparable to other antibiotics, e.g. ampicillin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, cefuroxime and doxycycline in treatment of various infections …

Aminoglycosides High doses of parenteral penicillin can inactivate aminoglycosides. In patients receiving low doses of aminoglycosides because of reduced renal function this can be clinically important. Parenteral administration of these drugs in neonatal dosages does not seem to produce relevant inactivation, and so temporal separation of the infusions is not required. Piperacillin protected against aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity without reducing its blood concentration; this was possibly a protective effect of co-administered mineral salts. Ciclosporin …

Acute severe dyspnea with cyanosis has also been observed without symptoms of bronchial obstruction or pulmonary edema. Specific mechanisms for such cases have yet to be identified. Allergic pneumonitis and transient eosinophilic pulmonary infiltrate (Loeffler’s syndrome) are rare. These syndromes have also been observed with penicillin hypersensitivity. In one case, an alveolar allergic reaction, probably due to ampicillin, showed features of an adult respiratory distress syndrome. Nervous system High doses of penicillins, …

This is only likely to be a problem in patients with heart disease or in those who are receiving drugs that delay ventricular repolarization. High-doses intravenously have caused ventricular fibrillation and torsade de pointes. Each episode of dysrhythmia, QT interval prolongation, and myocardial dysfunction occurred 1-1.5 hours after erythromycin infusion and resolved after withdrawal. In an FDA database analysis, 346 cases of cardiac dysrhythmias associated with erythromycin were identified. There was a …

Comparative studies The safety and efficacy of topical ofloxacin ear-drops 0.3% (0.25 ml bd) have been compared with that of co-amoxiclav oral suspension (40 mg/kg/day) for acute otitis media in 286 children aged 1-12 years with tympanostomy tubes in place. Topical ofloxacin was as effective as and better tolerated than systemic therapy with co-amoxiclav. Treatment-related adverse event rates were 31% for co-amoxiclav and 6% for ofloxacin. Organs and Systems Nervous system Headache was recorded in …
