What can happen if a Superinfections
patient is taking
antibiotics for a
long period of
time?
Amphotericin B treats severe fungal infections
• Tx of diseases caused by pinworms and roundworms
• Administered in a single dose
Pyrantel (pinex) & MOA • MOA- causes paralysis of intestinal parasite
Advantage: single dose because children don't like to
take medicine.
Cough and patient • Persistent coughing for more than 2 weeks
teaching you want to go have it checked out = make
sure there is no underlying cause
Be aware that OTC meds may contain the
same active ingredient as prescribed
medications = don't want pt to overdose

OTC medications
• Check ingredients
• look at label and take as directed
• Inform doctor - may mask symptoms of underlying
causes.
• Take medication as directed
• may mask symptoms of an underlying cause
Drug absorption is influenced by liver (hepatic)
Drug absorption function.
• route ex: IV or IM = are absorbed quicker
• Oral meds dosed higher than IM because of first
pass effect.
After a drug is swallowed, it is absorbed by the
digestive system and enters the hepatic portal
system. It is carried through the portal vein
into the liver before it
reaches the rest of the body. The liver
metabolizes many drugs, sometimes to such
first-pass effect an extent that only a small amount of active
drug emerges from the liver to the rest of the
circulatory system. This first pass through the
liver thus greatly reduces the bioavailability
of the drug.
*so when the medication is metabolized in the
liver you may not get 100% of the medication
= may only get 10 or 50%
