See also Beta-lactam antibiotics The basic structure of the penicillins consists of a thiazolidine ring, the beta-lactam ring, and a side chain. The beta-lactam ring is essential for antibacterial activity. The side chain determines in large part the antibacterial spectrum and pharmacological properties of a particular penicillin. The rapid emergence of bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, that produce beta-lactamases (penicillinase) has been partly countered by the development of compounds that resist hydrolysis by beta-lactamases and compounds that are more active than …
[ Continue Reading... ]Respiratory Bronchospasm may be a consequence of penicillin allergy. 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, …
[ Continue Reading... ]See also Antituberculosis drugs Clofazimine is weakly bactericidal against Mycobacterium leprae. It is active in chronic skin ulcers (Buruli ulcer) and partly against Mycobacterium avium intracellulare. The usual adult dosage is 50-100 mg/day. At higher doses, its anti-inflammatory effect seems to prevent the development of acute reactions, such as erythema nodosum leprosum. Clofazimine is a strongly lipophilic dye and accumulates in tissues, especially fat, bile, macrophages, the reticuloendothelial system, and skin. This is the basis of adverse reactions, including skin discoloration. Lymphedema, diminished sweating, and reduced tearing have been observed. Observational studies In 84 …
[ Continue Reading... ]Nalidixic acid, the first quinolone, first introduced in 1962, is now only rarely used and has been supplanted by the fluoroquinolones. It is almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is rapidly eliminated by the kidneys, resulting in urinary concentrations 4-6 times higher than plasma concentrations. There are better drugs to treat urinary tract infections. General adverse effects The adverse effects of nalidixic acid tend to be toxic rather than allergic. Nervous system toxicity is predominant, including disturbances …
[ Continue Reading... ]Nervous system Headache is the most common adverse effect of griseofulvin. It occurs in about 50% of patients and can be severe. Drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, confusion, depression, irritability, and insomnia have also been observed. Impaired co-ordination and unsteadiness while walking have been reported in some cases when there was confusion. Peripheral neuritis has been attributed to griseofulvin, but with little proof of a causal relation. Sensory systems Eyes Blurring of vision has been reported with griseofulvin. Taste Griseofulvin can cause dysgeusia; both taste and smell disturbances may occur more frequently than has been realized. Psychological, psychiatric …

Tetracyclines form complexes with such cations, which are very poorly or not at all absorbed. To avoid this interaction, delay of 2-3 hours between the ingestion of tetracycline and the cation is recommended. Similarly, reduced systemic availability results from simultaneous intake of abundant quantities of milk or milk products. Antidiarrheal drugs Antidiarrheal drugs, such as kaolin-pectin and bismuth products, impair the absorption of tetracyclines by chelation (see the interaction with antacids in this …

Comparative studies In a direct comparison of clarithromycin with erythromycin stearate, the rate of adverse events was 19% in 96 patients taking clarithromycin and 35% in 112 patients taking erythromycin . Most of the adverse events associated with clarithromycin affect the gastrointestinal …
[ Continue Reading... ]Chloroquine and Hydroxychloroquine: Drug Administration Drug formulations Chloroquine has a bitter taste, which can deter children from taking it, so a sweet effervescent formulation of chloroquine phosphate has been compared with chloroquine tablets in a pharmacodynamic study. However, sweet-tasting medications carry a risk of accidental overdose in children. Drug administration route If given intravenously, chloroquine should be diluted and infused slowly, since rapid injection causes toxic concentrations. Toxicity and even death have been reported after intramuscular administration of larger doses; this is probably connected with rapid absorption in such cases. Drug …
[ Continue Reading... ]Cardiovascular Electrocardiographic changes, comprising altered T waves and prolongation of the QT interval, are not uncommon during high-dose treatment with chloroquine. The clinical significance of this is uncertain. With chronic intoxication, a varying degree of atrioventricular block can be seen; first-degree right bundle branch block and total atrioventricular block have been described. Symptoms depend on the severity of the effects: syncope, Stokes-Adams attacks, and signs of cardiac failure can occur. Acute intoxication can cause cardiovascular collapse and/or respiratory failure. Cardiac …
