Adamczyk, OD, FAAO Copyright © 2024 81 -goes after and into the glands to do its job by going after the free fatty acids -bacteria are releasing the sebum and the free fatty acids are irritated and inflamed -tetracycline go after the bacteria but its major job is going after the irritation and inflammation -thinning of the cornea is a noninfected corneal ulcer and the cornea is thinning not bc of a bacteria but due to the enzymes that are breaking down the collagen -collagenolytic à break down of collagen and tetracycline is a anti collagenolytic so its against breaking down collagen 81 Pharm II_2024 Antibiotics Drugs Affec ting Protein Synthesis Tetrac yc line:Oral Overview O ra l O ve rvie w: > Antibiotic activity > Affect on free fatty acids- decreases bacterial lipase production > A nti-infla mma tory e ffe c t > Anticollagenolytic activity Diane T.

Adamczyk, OD, FAAO Copyright © 2024 83 -tetracycline was initially used when the baby came out the birth canal it is said that baby can get gonorrhea so they would give prophylaxis which is tetracycline but is now switched with erythromycin 83 Pharm II_2024 Antibiotics Antimicrobials Affecting Protein Synthesis Tetracycline: Oral Overview > Adverse Reac tions > Depress bone growth D r u g attracted to embryonic and growing bone tissue >form te tra c yc line -c a lc ium c omple x > te mpora rily depressing bone growth à that’s why you shouldn’t use tetracycline with pregnant > Intrac ranial hypertension (pseudotumor c erebri) àaffects younger females around 40 who are overweight but its from over-using tetracycline > Mechanism: may be decrease cerebrospinal fluid absorption, at arachnoid villi so you get a build up of the CSF resulting in swollen discs Diane T.

Pharmacology. Diane T. Adamczyk, OD, FAAO Copyright © 2024 85 -tetracyclines are best to take without food bc on the empty stomach the concentration is much higher in the system than it is with antacid or milk bc it’s coupling with the calcium and decrease the absorption -the only tetracycline you can take with food is doxycycline 85 Pharm II_2024 Antibiotics Antimic robials Affec ting Protein Synthesis Tetracycline Oral Overview > A dve rse Re a c tions > Hypersensitivity reactions > Ana phyla xis, urtic a ria , ra sh, periorbita l edema > Photosensitivity/toxic reactions > GIirritation > With food improve, but affect drug’sabsorption (not doxycycline) > Epigastric distress(sore throat, glossitis) Diane T. Adamczyk, OD, FAAO Copyright © 2024 86 -don’t want pt to take tetracycline and go into the sun bc they can have hypersensitivity reaction -make sure pt doesn’t lay down after taking doxycycline -side effects include GI irritation so what’s nice with doxycycline is that taking it with food makes the GI less irritated -don’t want pt to lie down after taking doxycycline bc you don’t want them to get a reflux and causing epigastric distress 86 Pharm II_2024 Antibiotics Drugs and Photosensitivity Reac tions > Drug induced photosensitivity may be result from: > Phototoxic reaction:damage to tissuesisdirect > Photoallergic reaction: damage to tissues is immunologically mediated > Usually reaction resultsfrom UV-A and UV-B > M a y re sult from va rious d rugs for e xa mple : > Phenothiazines, amiodarone, NSAIDs, antimicrobials > e.g. tetra c yc lines, NSAIDs, sulfona mides (UV-A prima rily) Diane T.

Adamczyk, OD, FAAO Copyright © 2024 103 -it’s found to help with the RCE for when you get a fingernail cut and the cornea doesn’t heal well -doxycycline helps with RCE bc it decreases the enzyme metalloproteinase-9 in the corneal epithelium 103 Pharm II_2024 Antibiotics Drugs Affecting Protein Synthesis Tetracycline: Doxycycline > Doxycycline (ORACEA) :approved for rosacea > 40 mg capsule > Filled with 2 typesof doxycycline beads= > 30mg immediate release and > 10 mg delayed release > Take QD in AM empty stomach Diane T. Adamczyk, OD, FAAO Copyright © 2024 104 -oracea is form of doxycycline that has a combination of both immediate and delayed/sustained release -antibiotic level of doxycycline is shown in a red line à that is the amount needed for the drug to go after the bacteria so if you’re taking regular doxycycline, it crosses that red line bc its going after the bacteria -oracea doesn’t reach that level bc its purpose isn’t to kill the bacteria but its purpose is to go after the inflammation and the enzymes the bacteria is producing to decrease the inflammation and has a much more sustained release compared to regular doxycycline 104 Pharm II_2024 Antibiotics Drugs Affec ting Protein Synthesis Tetracycline: Doxycycline Ocular Rosacea: >Doxyc yc line : 100 mg bid x 2 wks (the n ta pe r) OR > Doxycycline (ORACEA) > 40 mg c a psule (30mg imme dia te re le a se a nd 10 mg d e la ye d re le a se d oxyc yc line ) > 40 mg qA M (e mpty stoma c h) OR > Erythromycin:250 mg qid or Azithromycin 500 mg/day for 3 cycles with 7-day intervals Diane T.

Adamczyk, OD, FAAO Copyright © 2024 107 107 Pharm II_2024 Antibiotics Tetracyclines and Pseudotumor Background: > PTCS characterized by increased intracranial pressure with normal brain parenchyma (no hydrocephalus, no mass, no underlying infection etc.) > Associated HA, transient visual obscurations, diplopia, pulsatile tinnitus > Causative link with use of tetracycline not firmly established > association based on onset a n d d / c of drug recognized > PTC-T in younger, those less likely to be obese, with shorter duration and lower recurrence vs IIH > In this study, almost all women, signs/symptoms within 30 days of starting drug and improved with d/c Diane T.
