Study Notes
Antibiotics and Abnormal Vaginal Secretions in Pregnancy
- Ciprofloxacin is a DNA synthesis inhibitor, excreted in urine and feces, with a half-life of 3-5 hours, useful for penicillin-allergic clients.
- Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim is a folate synthesis inhibitor, to be avoided in the first trimester and after 32 weeks, and has adverse effects like hemolytic anemia and crystalluria.
- Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim can cause allergic reactions, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis, and interacts with other drugs.
- Trimethoprim, which can treat 80-90% of uncomplicated UTIs, is a folate synthesis inhibitor to avoid in the first trimester, and has few drug interactions.
- Abnormal vaginal secretions can be caused by bacterial vaginosis (BV), vulvovaginal candidiasis, and trichomoniasis.
- BV, characterized by overgrowth of genital tract organisms, is associated with various pregnancy complications.
- Vulvovaginal candidiasis is usually caused by Candida albicans and can be treated with OTC treatments in pregnancy.
- Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection treated with metronidazole, but not within the midwifery scope to treat.
- Metronidazole and clindamycin are recommended treatments for BV, but recurrence rates are high.
- Bacterial vaginosis treatment can be extended to 10-14 days for effective management of repeated recurrences.
- Pregnant women should avoid ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim in the first trimester and after 32 weeks.
- Trimethoprim and metronidazole are effective treatments for UTIs and bacterial vaginosis, respectively, with few drug interactions.
