Pharmacokinetics

During our antibiotics teaching at medical school we were told that a recent survey of junior doctors had revealed that a significant proportion didn't realise that augmentin, tazocin, and carbopenems were penicillins and as such should not be given to those with known allergies. I devised a "mind-map" summarising the main antibiotics in use using information from the BNF and my own lecture notes. For me, seeing the information laid out in this manner, pinned above my desk as I work, helps me remember the major classes, their relationships with one another, and their major side-effects.

We agree with the recent commentary of Gonçalves-Pereira and Oliveira refuting a ‘one size fits all’ paradigm of antibiotic dosing in patients subjected to extracorporeal circulation [1] but want to focus somewhat further on meropenem pharmacokinetics (PK).

Persistent pain in older people is a serious problem that is often undermanaged.1 Osteoarthritis disproportionately affects older people, yet they are often under-represented in trials. Furthermore, their response to analgesics may differ from that of younger patients owing to altered pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.2
