I saw this thread and went, "That's weird, we dispensed a bunch today and didn't hear anything wrong with its availability when we did our order."
zpack is still here....believe me he's here in EPIC proportions...

Where have you been, under a rock?
I defeated him.
He's at an OU game.
I was unaware they had John Deere parking at OU games.
me too..
Integrated Sequence 5 and 6 (Cardiology), so in other words, yes I have been under a rock.
They're both getting on my nerves. The drug rep jokes are soooooooo last-week. Please God... save me from one more drug rep joke. Such a n00b...
😎
Hussshh. You're a culprit in all of this too. I wanna puke every time I read one of those jokes.
The golf small talk is annoying too, but I'll leave that one alone today.
No. I've never actually been accused of being one. Every new person I meet just wants to know if I'm studying to be one, which is waaaayyy worse.
Yeah me three.....

I think cephalosporins rock the house so there....I know this because my drug rep friend Epic told me so when we were playing golf taking pictures of random birds.....
Since this is a post about Z-Pack and random non-pharmacy related content, which is his specialty. I give you this:

The most awsome song playing on the radio right now....Check out the video.....

I've been tested on those ******* three times so far, and I despise them!!! I don't give a flying **** what's first generation, second generation, blah blah blah (even though I know that a cephalosporin ending with xil, lin, xin, or rin is a first generation, etc.). Thankfully there's an RXlynn around here, so the RinXinLIN sticks in my head. Zones and screwed-up dimes (zimes and ximes) are third gen (zone, xone, xime, zime, Omnicef, etc.) Blah, blah, blah... I hate Cephalosporins!!!!
Don't take up for Epic's laziness. He's more original than drug rep jokes and golf small talk.
That's soooooo last-year Mountaindewd! I'll forgive you though. Jared Leto was such a cutie in My So Called Life. He was dreamy 😍
Seriously? I just heard it the other day. D*mn I am always the last to hear about things.....Still an awsome song.
i think jared leto's an extremely good looking guy...except when he dresses up like an emo-clown for his lame *** band
They play all kinds of music on the radio. They've been playing The Offspring's song Gone Away a lot lately on my local radio station. It's an awesome song from their 1997 album.
I've been listening to more jazzy stuff lately though, mostly Sam Cooke, Nat King Cole, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Amy Winehouse (she's a crazy but lovely lady- this is one of hers that I really like: You Know I'm No Good).
His black eyeliner is tragic 🙁
As long as you guys weren't trying to hit the birds with your shots...I hear that can get you in trouble!
cephalosporins are easy yo.. you just need to know:
1st gen: cefazolin, cephalexin
2nd gen: cefuroxime, cefotetan, cefoxitin
3rd gen: cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime
4th gen: cefepime
5th gen: ceftobiprole
Oh..and Vantin.
cefotetan and cefoxitin have anaerobic coverage
ceftazidime, cefepime, and ceftobiprole covers pseudomonas
ceftobiprole covers MRSA...
And everything else is all about the same..
Yeah yeah you'll get your generic lecture of "1st gen has better gram positive coverage..and 3rd gen has better gram neg coverage.." BS.
1st gen: cefazolin, cephalexin
2nd gen: cefuroxime, cefotetan, cefoxitin
3rd gen: cefotaxime, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime

5th gen: ceftobiprole

yeah..aint that something?
That song sucks dude.. I hear Zpack is working on this...

Chit.. Kansas can play football, and Kansas can play basketball...
They got a good thing going. Better hope Mangino stays healthy.
Told you to stay away from the ducks in your neighborhood!!
Ya forgot to mention beta-lactamase resistance/staph coverage like the CONDoM penicillins!
And they'll undoubtedly ask you something goofy about hypersensitivity/allergic reactions...cefotetan/cefmandole/cefoperazone..."tan man in the endzone" 😎
Is ceftobiprole even out yet? I'd be curious to see the $ numbers if it is...would be a fun one to watch.
Hey Epic...what happened with that quick ID thing you were talking about a while back...to distinguish between faecium/faecalis? Or was it candida? I can't remember... Did you bite?
Don't be jealous!!! Not everyone can be from the great state of Kansas. I forgive you......
ehh, I know not what you're talking about with the PCNs...
I would think ceftobiprole would be priced near Zyvox... around $150 per day?
PNA-FISH... it's a nice initiative if an institution has high use of echinocandins.
List'em. What are the anti-staph PCNs?
Is there a date set for ceftobiprole? It's coming out in '08 right?
Anti - Staph PCNs aren't cephalosporins yo...
And Yes, I think ceftobiprole is coming out this year...it'll be a luke warm buzz.
Zpack already knows how to play that ...
I never said they were, dood. But they'll ask her about over-lapping coverage.
Go on...list'em.
How about some Clapton?
oh..c'mon. Don't make me. I know them by heart... I really do.
Ummmm... thanks but no thanks. I have almost zero interest in ID now that we've studied it even though I love cells. Give me some asthma, acid/base, or allergies. I'll take some NSAIDS too.

Horay! Horah! Mizzou! Mizzou!
Methicillin, Oxacillin, Cloxacillin, Dicloxacillin, Nafcillin
MRSA- Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
MRSA- Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
😀 See, there's your mnemonic...CONDoM
COD can be given PO (like fish).
COND...no renal dosing adjustment necessary.
glad to be of help! Now, I'll just have to remember that for when I take Infectious Disease!!
Thanks! It really helped!
For anyone who's curious...
This is only a small part of the information that I had to memorize for a test (just to give you an idea: throw in all of the other cell wall synthesis inhibitors, protein and nucleic acid synthesis inhibitors, the structures, the sensitive/resistant organisms, the routes of excretion, plus tidbit details here and there). I didn't memorize the second generation cephs, because it was easier to learn the first and third and then assume anything else was second generation (Cefuroxime, Cefuroxime Axetil, and Cefepime were the only exceptions).
I underlined the ends of the drugs to make it easier to memorize them, like it's done in the list.
Generations Plus Routes of Administration:
First Generation:
Cephalexin --> Oral
Cefadroxil --> Oral
Cephradine --> Oral, Parenteral
Cephalothin --> Parenteral
Cefapirin --> Parenteral
Cefazolin --> Parenteral
Second Generation:
Cefaclor --> Oral
Cefamandole --> Parenteral
Cefuroxime --> Parenteral
Cefuroxime Axetil --> Oral
Cefonicid --> Parenteral
Ceforanide --> Parenteral
Cefoxitin --> Parenteral
Cefotetan --> Parenteral
Cefmetazole --> Parenteral
Cefprozil --> Oral
Loracarbef --> Oral
Third Generation:
Cefotaxime --> Parenteral
Ceftizoxime --> Parenteral
Ceftriaxone --> Parenteral
Ceftazidime --> Parenteral
Cefoperozone --> Parenteral
Cefmenoxime --> Parenteral
Cefixime --> Oral
Cefdinir --> Oral
Cefpodoxime --> Oral
Cefditoren --> Oral
Moxalactam --> Parenteral
Fourth Generation:
Cefepime --> Parenteral
Their stability in acid and resistance to beta-lactamase were also listed, but I left those off.
I had an enormous headache after this exam!
