35
New cards

penicillin (PCN) -cillin

MOA: broad (beta lactam), disrupt cell wall by taking in water, G+ most effective

Classification: antibacterial-bactericidal

Effective against: streptococci, pneumococci, staphylococci, that does not make beta-lactamase, gonorrhea, syphilis

AE: anaphylaxis

Nursing consideration: penicillin G only parenterally (injection)

anaphylaxis in minutes, hypersensitivity in 5-7 days

monitor 30 min after parenteral admin

less effectivness of oral contraceptives

36
