Warfarin & Antibiotics Interactions with Warfarin: TMP/SMX Metronidazole Fluoroquinolones (dysglycemia) Doxycycline (minor) Dicloxacillin (reduces INR) JAMA. 2015;314:296-7.

[TMP/SMX & warfarin] Rifampin & Drug Interactions Inducer of cytochrome-p450 system Decreases the effect or levels of: ß-blockers, digoxin, ACE-inhibitors Diltiazem, nifedipine Corticosteroids, methadone Oral anticoagulants Phenytoin, sulfonylureas Oral contraceptives Obstet Gynecol. 2001;98:853-60. [OCPs & antibiotics] Vancomycin 1 gram IV q12h Concern for emergence of VRE, VISA, VRSA Slow bactericidal activity; poor tissue penetration Linezolid 600 mg IV/PO q12h Oral form 100% bioavailable Different pharmacokinetics compared to Vanco Inhibits toxin production Daptomycin 4-6 mg/kg IV q24h Complicated SSTIs, S. aureus bacteremia, right sided endocarditis due to MSSA & MRSA Binds surfactant and gets inactivated Tigecycline 1 st dose 100 mg IV then 50 mg IV q12h Also covers Gram-negatives & anaerobes Does not cover Pseudomonas; ± Proteus Complicated SSTIs, intra-abdominal infections, CAP (not for DRSP) 4
Other FDA-Approved Antimicrobial Therapies for MRSA SSTIs Telavancin IV Lipoglycopeptide 10 mg/kg daily over 1 hr Ceftaroline IV Cephalosporins with MRSA activity 600 mg q12 hrs over 5-60 min Other Antimicrobials for MRSA SSTIs Dalbavancin Oritavancin Tedizolid Delafloxacin IV IV PO / IV PO / IV Lipoglycopeptide 1500 mg over 30 min Lipoglycopeptide Single dose of 1200 mg over 3 hrs Oxazolidinone 200 mg PO once daily for 6 days 200 mg IV infusion over 1 hr Fluoroquinolone 450 mg PO q12 hrs 300 mg IV over 1 hr q12 hrs 5

Gonococcal Infections % Cefixime MIC 0.25, 2005 2011 N Engl J Med. 2012;366:485-7. Cefixime MICs & Outcomes Retrospective cohort study Culture-positive N. gonorrhea infections Reduced susceptibility MIC 0.12 μg/ml 291 culture-positive cases; 133 returned 6.77% overall rate of clinical failure 25% clinical failure with cefixime MIC 0.12 1.9% clinical failure with cefixime MIC <0.12 Relative risk of 13.13 JAMA. 2013;309:163-170. Treatment of Uncomplicated Gonococcal Infections of the Cervix, Urethra, & Rectum Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM x 1 PLUS Azithromycin 1 gram PO x 1 or Doxycycline 100 mg PO bid x 7 days Azithromycin preferred over doxycycline MMWR. 2015;64:1-137.

Gonorrhea Treatment Dose ceftriaxone at 250 mg Safeguard against decreased susceptibility Effective against pharyngeal infection; often asymptomatic, difficult to detect, & eradicate Dual treatment recommended whether or not chlamydial infection has been ruled out MMWR. 2015;64:1-137. [Practice guidelines] MMWR. 2012;61:590-4. Gonorrhea Treatment Regimens If ceftriaxone not available: Cefixime 400 mg PO x 1 If severe cephalosporin allergy: Gentamicin 240 mg IM x 1 or Gemifloxacin 320 mg PO x 1 PLUS Azithromycin 2 grams PO x 1 Monotherapy with azithromycin is no longer recommended MMWR. 2015;64:1-137. [Practice guidelines] Take Home Points TMP/SMX: Hyperkalemia with ACE inhibitors Increases activity of warfarin Utilize dual therapy for treatment of gonorrhea: Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM x 1 PLUS Azithromycin 1 gram PO x 1 or Doxycycline 100 mg PO bid x 7 days No azithromycin monotherapy 8
