Mr. Park, a patient in a nursing home, has been receiving clarithromycin (Biaxin) for an upper respiratory infection for 9 days. The nurse assistant reports that he has been incontinent of feces for the past 2 days. Analyze whether this matter should be investigated. [Pg.90]

Newer and more generally usefnl macrolide antibiotics include azithromycin (Zithromax) and clarithromycin (Biaxin). These too are wide-spectrum antibiotics and both are semisynthetic derivatives of erythromycin. Like the tetracyclines, the macrolide antibiotics act as protein synthesis inhibitors and also do so by binding specifically to the bacterial ribosome, thongh at a site distinct from that of the tetracyclines.

Clarithromycin is better absorbed and irritates the gastrointestinal tract less than erythromycin. It is presumed that its activity exceeds that of erythromycin by 2-4 times with respect to a number of streptococci and staphylococci, and to a few other microorganisms. It is used for treating bacterial bronchitis, pneumonia, skin and sexual infections. It is believed that clarithromycin is the most active macrolide for treating atypical mycobacteria. Synonyms of this drug are biaxin and others. [Pg.469]

Robimycin), clarithromycin (Biaxin), azithromycin (Zithwmax), and oleandomycin (Matwmycin). Erythromycin and its derivatives (clarithromycin, azithromycin) are the only macrolides in common use, although the acetylated derivative of oleandomycin (troleandomycin, TAO) is available for oral use.

Like tetracyclines, macrolides are also polyketides that are isolated from bacteria and inhibit protein synthesis in certain bacteria. Erythromycin (A.32) is the original macrolide (Figure A.9). Clarithromycin (Biaxin, A.33) and azithromycin (Zithromax, A.34) are semisynthetic derivatives of erythromycin. [Pg.361]

Many other commonly used antibiotics can cause psychiatric symptoms, for example, clarithromycin (trade name, Biaxin)—which is frequently used to treat respiratory illness, ear infections, and skin infections—has been reported to cause mania in some patients. Metronidazole (trade name Flagyl), which is used to treat many types of infections—from parasites to vaginal infections and abscesses—has been reported to cause depression, agitation, confusion, hallucinations, and mania. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (trade names Bactrim and Septra)—which is used, for example, for bladder infections and sinus and ear infections—has been reported to cause delirium, psychosis, depression, and hallucinations in rare cases. The fluoroquinolone antibiotics—such as ciprofloxacin (trade name Cipro), levofloxacin (trade name Levaquin), ofloxacin (trade name Floxin), trovafloxacin (trade name Trovan), and others of this class—can cause psychiatric symptoms fairly often, including confusion, agitation, depression, insomnia, mania, paranoia, and psychosis.

Macrolide Antibiotics. Erythromycin may significantly increase serum concentrations of medications such as theophylline by inhibiting their hepatic metabolism. Clarithromycin (Biaxin) and troleandomycin appear to interact with other medications in a manner similar to erythromycin, whereas azithromycin (Zithromax) is unlikely to interact with these agents.

The 6-O-methyl derivative has been added to this antibiotic group (Clarithromycin, Biaxin, 1991). The 14-hydroxy metabolite is also active. Its spectrum is not significantly superior to the parent drug (e.g., methicilin-resistant staph are also resistant). Dosing frequency is more convenient, however, and it appears to have fewer gastric side effects. [Pg.257]
