Rocephin
The dose of rocephin would be 2 g and not 1g daily if you are dealing with bacteremia.
And 2 g bid if you want to cover meningitis too.
Pelvic inflammatory disease treatment
Choose cefdinir, doxy and metro for 14 days.
Often can even be done empirically without actually positive cultures.
UTIs while breastfeeding
Safe antibiotics choices would be –
- Macrobid
- Keflex
- Amoxicillin
Cefdinir
Avoid cefdinir for UTI as cefdinir does not penetrate GU tract well
Nitrofurantoin and lung disease
Nitrofurantoin prophylaxis can, uncommonly, cause interstitial lung disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), alveolar hemorrhage, and bronchiolitis obliterans.
More commonly, it is associated with an acute syndrome of hypersensitive lung disease that starts less than a month after initiation of therapy, and a more chronic syndrome characterized by alveolitis or fibrosis.
ESBL UTI
PO choice – fosfomycin if sensitive.
Carbapenem can increase seizure threshold in patients on valprioic acid.
Choice of antibiotic for acute prostatitis
Rocephin has adequate penetration for prostatitis.
More and more hospitals are now restricting fluoroquinolone use inpatient.
