NSAID antibacterials NSAIDs

Considering all aspects, sex hormones, antibacterials, and antineoplastic agents were identified by Christensen as the three most relevant groups of chemicals concerning their potential human risk as a consequence of drug exposure via the environment [10]. Immunochemical methods for hormones and antibiotics have already been discussed above. In this section we will describe methods based on the use of antibodies for the analysis of analgesics, NSAIDs, and cytostatic agents. 

Antibacterial agents, vaccines and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may all lead to anaphylactic shock if the patient is allergic to these products.

The molybdenum tricarbonyls, 44, 45 and 46, have been reported as being antibacterial with 45 and 46 being active against H. pylori [134] while oral administration of ALF-186, 47, prevents the induction of a gastric ulcer by the NSAID, indomethacin [209]. 

In addition to topical antimycotic therapy, systemic NSAIDs and topical atropine sulfate are used to the control pain and ameliorate the effects of anterior segment injury associated with the iridocyclitis that inevitably accompanies ker-atomycosis. Topical proteinase inhibitor therapy is of significant clinical benefit in controlling stromal breakdown and, since potentially pathogenic bacteria contaminate most mycotic lesions, concurrent broad-spectrum, topical antibacterial agents should be used. 

Amidone methadone, amidopyrine (aminophenazone [inn] and many other names) is one of the pyrazone series of CYCLOOXYGENASE INHIBITORS with NSAID ANALGESIC. ANTIINFLAMMATORY and ANTIPYRETIC activity. The risk of agranulocytosis is high and so it is rarely used. It has been used as the cyclamate salt, aminophenazone cyclamate [inn], and the butyl iodide, butopyrammonium iodide [inn]. amifenazole amiphenazole. amifloxacin [ban, inn. usan] (amifloxacln mesylate [usan]) is a fluoroquinolone derivative with antibacterial properties. 

An elderly woman who had been treated with low-dose methotrexate 5 mg weekly and loxoprofen for one month developed acute pyelonephritis. Intravenous eefotiam was started, and on day 7 she developed severe watery diarrhoea. Analysis showed pancytopenia and Clostridium difficile infection. Methotrexate and cefotiam were stopped, and vancomycin started, and the patient reeovered. It was suggested that the combination of the antineoplastic drug and antibacterial increased the risk of Clostridium difficile diarrhoea. In addition, the NSAID (see Methotrexate + NSAIDs , p.649) and renal impairment from the pyelonephritis could have eontrib-uted to the methotrexate toxicity. This appears to be an isolated ease, and any interaetion with cefotiam is not established. 

The mechanism of this interaction between lithium and levofloxacin is unclear, and this appears to be the only report. However, it would seem prudent to bear this interaction in mind if a patient on lithium is prescribed levofloxacin. Patients on lithium should be aware of the symptoms of lithium toxicity and told to report them immediately should they occur. This should be reinforced when they are given levofloxacin. For a report of lithium toxicity with raised lithium levels in a patient started on ciprofloxacin and nimesulide, which was attributed to the NSAID, see Nimesulide, under Lithium + NSAIDs , p. 1125, and consider also Lithium + Antibacterials , p.l 113.
