Anti-Infective Drugs: Considerations
Give this one a try later!
-Can be used to treat an active infection and be given prophylactically
(before patient has an infection)
-Check drug interactions because many drugs in this category have
interactions with commonly prescribed meds
,Gastrointestinal Medications: Proton Pump Inhibitors: Pantoprazole

-Take before eating, swallow the tablets whole because they are enteric-
coated to bypass the stomach because they are unstable in acidic
environments.
-They are rapidly absorbed from the small intestine.
-Disrupt chemical binding in stomach cells to reduce acid production.
-Indicated for short-term treatment of active gastric ulcers & duodenal
ulcers.
Cardiovascular Drugs: Lipid Lowering Agents:
Give this one a try later!
-Known as statin drugs
-Used to lower abnormally high blood levels of lipids increasing risk of
coronary artery disease.
-Reduces low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and total cholesterol levels which
often results in a mild increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.

-Do not take drug with antacids
-May take drug with snack
