MindMap Gallery Mechanism of Action Side effects contraindications Antibiotics
Antibiotics are widely used medications that play a crucial role in treating bacterial infections. Understanding their mechanism of action, side effects, and contraindications is essential for their safe and effective use. This mind map provides an overview of these important aspects of antibiotics, helping to enhance knowledge and promote responsible antibiotic use.
Edited at 2023-06-24 20:33:42Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings. People with bipolar disorder experience periods of intense mania or elevated mood, followed by periods of depression or low mood. These episodes can vary in duration and severity. During manic episodes, individuals may exhibit symptoms such as elevated mood, increased energy or activity levels, racing thoughts, decreased need for sleep, impulsivity, and engaging in risky behaviors. They may also have grandiose beliefs about their abilities or engage in excessive spending or reckless behavior.

Mechaism of Action Anti-biotics/Side effects
Penicillins
Action - Inhibition of cell wall syntheisis
Side effects - Seizure, Nausa, vomiting, diarrhea, superinfection, Uritcaria, prutitus, anaphylaxis, Steven Johnson, erythema, Nephritis, renal tubular damage,
Contradictions- hypersensitivey reaction, Pregancy, breatstfeeding, severe renal disease,
Drug interactions- Probenecid increases penicillin efect, Tetracycline decrease the effect of penicillins, penicillins increase effect of methotrexate, Penicillins decrease the effect of oral contraceptives, Broad - Spectrum Penicillins, (Allopurinol, increases risk of rash) Penicillinase (PRP) decrase effect of live virus vaccines , carbonat3ed drinks, and cirtrus fruit juices decrease absorption of PRP
Cyclic lipopeptide
Binds to and perforate bacterial membrane leads to rapid depolarization DNA, RNA and protein synthesis inhibition lead to bacterial cell deatlh
Side effects - Headache, dizziness, insomnia, Hypo-hypertension, Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, CDI, Pain, buring with urination, Skin rash, itching, pallor, Peripheral neuropathy numbness and tingling, eosinophilic pneumonia, Nephrotozxicty, Anemia, rhabdomyolysis, Hypersensitivity
Contradictions and cautions - Pregnancy, breastfeeding, children/elderly, Eosinophilic pneumonia, GI renal or muscular disease,
Drug interaction - tobramycin, warfarin and statins
Metronidazole
Produces free radicals inside anaerobic bacteria and protozoans leads to DNA damage and death
Side effects - CNS headache, dizziness, confusion irritability, insomnia, peripheral neuropathy, seizure , aseptic meningitis, ECG changes, blurred vision, dry mouth, metallic taste, anorexia, abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, CDI, dry mouth metallic taste, bone marrow suppression, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, reddish urine, dysuria, skin rash urticaria, phlebitis at injection site, Steve Johnson syndrom, toxic epidermal necrolysis, Disulfiram like reaction
Contradictions - Pregnancy, breastfeeding, elderly, heart failure, fungal infection, hematologic gastrointestinal renal or heptatic disease,
Drug interction - Zalcitabine, disulfiram, cimetide, Warfarin, phenytoin, lithium, (impaired cyp2a6 metabolism), alcohole
Lincosamides
Bacteriostatic effec, binds to 50s subunit interfering with protein synthesis and limites bacterial growth in high concentrations it is bacteriidal
Side effects - nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, CDI, pseudomembranous colitis, Hypersensitivity reaction, steven - johnsons, exfoliative dermatitis, injection site reactions, for vaginal admin redness burning, itching, candidiasis
contraindications/cautions - prenancy, breastfeeeding, GI or hepatic disease
Glycopeptides
interferes with peptidoglycan polymerization and ross linking inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis which leads to bacterial cell dealth
Side effects - Headache, ototoxicity, chills, fever, Prolonged QT, arrhythmias, peripheral edema, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, CDI, back pain, leukopenia, eosinophilia, Immun thrombocytopenia, neurtropenia, flushing syndrome (Vanco specfic), nephrotoxicity (telavancin), embryonic and fetal toxicity ( vanco and telavancin)
Contraindications - Prenancy, breastfeeding, neonates, elderly, hearing loss, renal disease (telavancin), Meds that prolong QT (quinidine, aminodarone), Nephrotoxic,
Drug interactions considerations - otoxic meds (furosemide, aminoglycoside, colistin, cisplatin) Dimenhydrinate (mask ototoxicity) Unfractionated heparin (contrindicated for 120 hours after admin, oritavancin
Flouroquinolones
ihibit bacterial topoisomerase (DNA gyrase) stops bacterial DNA replication which leads to cell death
Side effects - headache, restlessness, dizziness, confusion, depression, nightmares, insomnia, seizure, GI disturbances, hepatotoxicity, CDI, phosensitivity, urticaria, skin rashes, hypersnesitivity, blurred vision, tinnitus, chest pain, palpitations, QT prolongation, hypotension, cartilage damage (children) - Tendonitis and tendon rupture (Achilles tendion
Contraindications- Myasthenia gravis,pregnancy/breastfeeding, children/elderly clients, seizures, stroke, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal disease
drug interactions - theophyline, warfarin, mineral supplements (iron, zinc, calcium -think antacids)
Beta Lactam
Bind to beta-lactamase enzymes in the bacteria and prevent the breakdown of beta-lactam ring in the antibiotic molecule
Beta Lactamase inhibitor combo
Bind to beta-lactamase enzymes in the bacteria and prevent the breakdown of beta lactame enzymes in the bacteria and prevent the breakdown of the beta-lactam ring in the anitbiotic molecule
