,OTC drugs that should not be taken at the same time as azithromycin (Zithromax) or
levofloxacin (Levaquin)
Azithromycin (Zithromax)

conjuctivitis, STIs, and skin infections, NOT UTIs works well for those who are allergic to
penicillin/cephalosporin
1 hr before/2 hr after meals and with water
C diff, tinnitus, photosensitivity
broad spectrum antibiotic
effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria

labs needed before giving antibiotics to determine the ability to metabolize and excrete
the drug

broad spectrum antibiotic that is used for OM, meningitis, and surgical infection
prophylaxis that have a disulfiram-like reaction
Cephalosporins
if a client is allergic to penicillin they can also be allergic to this classification of drug
disulfiram like reaction

injection site redness
expected side effect of isoniazid and ceftriaxone that the nurse should monitor but does
not require discontinuation of medication
levofloxacin (Levaquin)
antibiotic that interferes with enzyme DNA gyrase and is used to treat cellulitis, impetigo
