1 Managing Complicated Outpa7ent Infec7ons Prac7cal Considera7ons for the Primary Care Clinician Conan MacDougall, PharmD, MAS Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy UCSF School of Pharmacy Objec7ves Given a pa7ent with an infec7on requiring outpa7ent intravenous therapy, select an effec7ve and prac7cal agent for home administra7on. Differen7ate between bioavailability and equivalence in the context of switching an7microbials from IV to PO Iden7fy four common drug- drug interac7ons between an7microbials and other drugs and provide management recommenda7ons Discuss the pros and cons of oral agents used for an7bio7c- resistant urinary tract infec7ons Disclosures I have no relevant conflicts of interest to disclose Some off- label discussion JL is a 58 year- old poorly controlled Type II diabe7c pa7ent of yours who was recently admised to a local hospital with a severe diabe7c foot infec7on of the heel. Surgical debridement was performed and the pa7ent was started on piperacillin/tazobactam 4.5g IV q6h. Deep 7ssue cultures grew Enterococcus faecalis (ampicillin- suscep7ble), E. coli (pan- suscep7ble), and Bacteroides fragilis. Six days into treatment JL has responded well and the hospitalist calls you to discuss an7bio7c therapy for JL when he is discharged 1

2 Which of the following drug regimens would you recommend for JL as an outpa7ent? a) Piperacillin/tazobactam b) Ertapenem c) Linezolid + Moxifloxacin d) Amoxicillin + Cefpodoxime + Metronidazole Challenges in Transi7oning Pa7ents to Outpa7ent An7microbial Therapy Outpa&ent Parenteral An&microbial Therapy (OPAT) Frequency/complexity of IV an7microbial administra7on Stability of IV an7microbials for prolonged infusions Monitoring drug levels & labs Retaining adequate spectrum of ac7vity Switch to PO an&microbials Retaining adequate spectrum of ac7vity Achieving adequate drug levels Frequency of administra7on Food considera7ons Drug interac7ons Prac7ce Models for OPAT Delivery OPAT best op7on Select appropriate sebng on basis of availability, needs, Insurance status Home: Self- admin.
