Liver disease : Many drugs are metabolizedthrough the liver. Impaired liverfunction(cyrihosis or any patho-necrotic) mayaffect the breakdown of drugs so the drugmight accomulate and cousing toxic effect to
the patient, so we try to give the pt drug thatnot metabolize in the liver, eg; paracetamolmetabolize in the liver, we give the pt codieneor NSAIDs instead of.
K idney disease : Nephrotoxic drugs shouldbe avoided such as aminoglycosides whichshould be avoided in pt do dialysis, other safedrugs may require dose reduction accordingto the degree of impairment either halving the
dose or type of the drug.

Patient groups at risk from
NSAIDS Peptic u lcerat ion
Inhibits P.Gs Increase acid production,
decrease mucin, increase risk of GI bleeding
!!
Bleeding disorders
Permanent antiplatlet effect by ASA or temporary

Opioids
Causes Depression of pain center.(not like NSAIDs whichwork periphrally)
But cause Stimulation of vomiting, salivation which are theparasympathatic way.
and cause Dependence (addiction), many times we see adultpatient seeking opioids for dental pain which is very common,
tramadol for dental pain as example Other problem with opioid which is the Tolerance, patient
taking opiods for more than 2 weeks he might dont givedesierd effect of the opiods, he might need increase thedose,, which we call it tolerance.
And it might causeConstipation.
Examples:
Codeine ; mostly mixed with paracitamol as Revacod500mg 1-2*3 .
Tramadol (Tramal); opioid like analgesic
50-100mg 1*3 PRN( to not couse
addiction).

ANTIBIOTICS
Antibiotics are given to prevent or treatinfection (theyrabiotic).
Different types, spectrum, pharmaco-
dynamics &kinetics.. The wide use of antibiotics may cause
Resistance !
Side effects (allergy(maybe fetal to thepatient), G.I disturbance(diaria),super-infections(fungal as thrush orbacterial as psedomembranious
colites).

Prophylactic antibiotics
Prophylaxis of endocardi t is: in the past there was plenty o findicat ion about endocardi t is NICE and AHA guidel ines
Nice; br i tsh guidelines dont indicate prophylaxisindo cardi t is for al l pat ients,, there is n o need fo rantibiotic prophylaxis at all. Its a new guidelines forbr i tshguidel ines.
Bu t we adot to am ir ican schoo l which is american hashassosat ion 2007(AHA ) they m inim ize num ber of p at ientsinto 4 small categiores;
Patients At Risk: (AHA 2007)
history of infective endocarditis
Cardiac prosthetic valve replacement
A heart transplant with abnormal heart valve function
Some conginital cardiac defects (Cyanotic).

Prophylaxis against SSI
Its Not indicated in most of cases!! It Might be indicated in cases of low immunity as
diabetes and immuno- compromisedpatients(eg;diabetis) .
Generally it is considered in contaminated
wounds not the clean or clean-contaminatedones, which means in extraoral surgerys which isclean surgery, so no role of antibiotic treatement,but intraorally, its consider a clean contaminatedbecouse of saliva.
Sometimes if there is pus or forign material weconseder it derty so we might prescribeantibiotic, let say for extraction of presentperiodontitis or pericoronitis so we can consederantibiotic in such case.

Treatment of infection
Ideally antibiotics must only supplement drainage. What the treatement of abccess? Incesion and drinage
What the treatement of acute periapical abcess?Access
What the treatment of gingivitis? Scaling and oral higen.
There is no role for antibiotic,, only supplemental ofthese in cereten people
Ind icat ions for ABx:
Systemic manifestations as fever, malaise,lymphadenopathy.
Cellulitis with rapid spread of infection Involvement of fascial spaces, trismus,dysphagia, with
risk on airway or vital structures as eyes.
Inadeqate drainage though its not an excuse!
Immuno-compromised Pt.

Metronidazol:
Flagyl for anaerobic bacteria and parasites
250-500mg 1*3daily .We can supplement in abcess amoxic i l l in+f lagyl
together,, in cases of perico ron it is f lagyl is the go ldstandard in treatment

Cl indamycin: 150-300mg 1*3for mix infection aerobes and anaerobes
for penicillin allergic pt.s( if the pt hypersensitive to penicillin wesheft to clindamycin or cefalosporin, but mostly clindamycinbecouse cyphalosporin has 10% cross sensittivity with
penicilin so one of 10 pts might have double seansitivity to
cyfalosporin and penicilln)if pts take for a long period of time clindamycin this may lead toantib iot ic assoc iated co l i t is!!
Cephalospor ins:
10% cross sensitivity as penicillin !!it has 4 generations, it mostly used by dental uses.
ex : cephalexin 500mg 1*3
cefuroxine 1gm IV/IM
cefutaxime 1gm IV/IM
