    Free book is here at https://www.memorizingpharm.com/books

    Summary 3.20 Vancomycin

    The chapter covers vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic used for treating serious infections like MRSA. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Vancomycin is typically administered via IV for systemic infections and orally for C-diff. Key concerns include nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, and "red man syndrome," which occurs with rapid infusion. Monitoring of renal function and trough levels is crucial.

    Multiple Choice Questions
    1. What is vancomycin primarily used to treat?
      a) Viral infections
      b) MRSA
      c) Fungal infections
      d) Diabetes
    2. How does vancomycin work?
      a) Disrupts protein synthesis
      b) Inhibits cell wall synthesis
      c) Increases glucose uptake
      d) Enhances DNA replication
    3. What condition can occur if vancomycin is infused too quickly?
      a) Hair loss
      b) Red man syndrome
      c) Weight gain
      d) Increased appetite
    4. How is vancomycin administered for systemic infections?
      a) Orally
      b) Topically
      c) Intravenously
      d) Subcutaneously
    5. Which function should be closely monitored during vancomycin therapy?
      a) Cardiac function
      b) Renal function
      c) Respiratory function
      d) Blood glucose levels
    Answer Key
    1. b) MRSA
    2. b) Inhibits cell wall synthesis
    3. b) Red man syndrome

These drugs work by inhibiting mycobacterial growth or disrupting RNA synthesis, requiring long-term treatment (6 months to 2 years). Key considerations include monitoring liver function, avoiding alcohol, and ensuring patient adherence to therapy. Common medications include isoniazid and rifampin.

    Multiple Choice Questions
    1. How do antitubercular medications primarily work?
      a) Inhibiting protein synthesis
      b) Inhibiting mycobacterial growth
      c) Enhancing DNA replication
      d) Blocking cell wall formation
    2. How long does antitubercular therapy usually last?
      a) 1 month
      b) 3 months
      c) 6 months to 2 years
      d) 1 week
