Bartlett, O.D., D.Sc., FAAO Professor Emeritus, The University of Alabama at Birmingham American Optometric Association June 24, 2015 Disclosure Statement Alcon Allergan Bausch & Lomb Jobson Medical Publishing Shire Pharmaceuticals United States Pharmacopeia Please silence all mobile devices. How To Get Comfortable Know the disease state you re treating Know the applicable drug(s) not all, just the few you will be using Know your patient and ask the right questions Don t memorize dosages look them up Clinical experience is key 1
2 Clinical Pearls Select your patients carefully Treat according to your comfort level, or just a little beyond As your experience grows, so will your confidence If possible or practical, spend some time in a colleague s office, a referral center, or other clinic where you can gain hands-on experience Review your cases with a trusted colleague, partner, or faculty member Remember that there are many correct ways to treat ocular disease Importance of Patient History Gives clues to drug contraindications! Medical Hepatic Renal GI Allergies Medications, including OTC Drug Interactions Causing Decreased GI Absorption of Tetracyclines Avoid milk, dairy, and antacids Formation of drug-drug complexes (Ca 2+, Mg 2+ ) Tetracyclines milk, dairy, antacids 2
3 ORAL ANTIVIRAL DRUGS 3
4 Ophthalmic Management No therapy may be required Topical steroids for corneal edema and anterior uveitis Oral analgesics Oral Antivirals Acyclovir Should be started within 72 hours of skin lesions, but can be as late as 1 week 800 mg 5 times daily for 7 days 4
5 Acyclovir Formulations 200 mg capsule 400 mg tablet 800 mg tablet 200 mg/5 ml suspension (banana flavor) Benefits of Acyclovir Therapy Dendriform keratopathy Stromal keratitis Anterior uveitis Acute and chronic pain Few side effects 5
6 Valacyclovir (Valtrex) Prodrug of acyclovir Available as 500 mg tablet Dosage is 1000 mg tid x 7 days 6
7 Famciclovir (Famvir) Prodrug of penciclovir Available as 125, 250, 500 mg tablet Dosage is 500 mg tid x 7 days Side Effect(s) of Antivirals Nausea Diarrhea What to Ask Before Prescribing Are you allergic to antiviral medications such as acyclovir ( Zovirax )? Have you been treated before with this medicine and had to stop for any reason? Are you pregnant or nursing? get in the habit of asking this question unless the patient is not a female of childbearing potential 7
8 Don t Forget These Procedures! Slit lamp exam Uveitis? IOP Dilated fundus exam Retinitis? Acyclovir in Active HSV Keratitis Oral acyclovir 400 mg 5 times daily for treatment of HSV epithelial keratitis Does not prevent stromal disease Does not benefit stromal keratitis in patients receiving topical antivirals and steroids Acyclovir in Preventing Recurrent HSV Keratitis Effective preventive dose is 400 mg BID (or Valtrex 500 mg QD) Dendritric (epithelial) Even effective for disciform (stromal) Because of expense, greatest benefit is in suppression of vision-threatening stromal disease 8
9 ORAL ANTIBACTERIAL DRUGS Conditions Requiring Oral Antibacterial Drugs Preseptal cellulitis Internal hordeolum Meibomian gland dysfunction* Chlamydial conjunctivitis Ocular rosacea* Dacryocystitis A Good Place To Start is Preseptal Cellulitis or Internal Hordeolum 9
10 Eyelid Anatomy Etiology Local infection of eyelid or adnexa Eyelid or facial trauma Upper respiratory tract infection 10
11 Be Comfortable With The Diagnosis Differentiate From Orbital Cellulitis Proptosis Visual acuity Pupils Ocular motility Pain and fever Constitutional symptoms Differentiation From Orbital Cellulitis Clinical Finding Preseptal Cellulitis Orbital Cellulitis Proptosis Absent Marked Chemosis Rare Common Vision Normal Often reduced Pupils Normal May be APD Motility Usually normal Restricted Pain on motion Absent Present IOP Normal May be elevated Temperature Usually normal Elevated (>102 ) General Treatment Strategy (Adult) Largely empirical Penicillinase-resistant penicillin or First-generation cephalosporin 11
12 Penicillins Penicillins Resistant to Penicillinase (β Lactamase) Methacillin Oxacillin Cloxacillin Dicloxacillin Nafcillin 12
13 Penicillin-ß Lactamase Inhibitor Combination (Broad Spectrum) Amoxicillin/Clavulanate (Augmentin) Expensive! (875 mg x 20 = $145) Generic is $32-$46 13
14 Augmentin* Formulation Amoxicillin Clavulanic Acid Tablet 250, 500, 875 mg 125 mg Chewable Tablet 200, 250, 400 mg mg Oral Suspension 125, 200, 400 mg per 5 ml mg per 5 ml *All formulations are pregnancy cat. B and probably safe during breastfeeding Augmentin Formulations What To Ask Before Prescribing Are you allergic to penicillin or cephalosporin drugs such as Keflex?

16 Ceftin Formulations As You Go From 1 st to 2 nd to 3rd You increase gram-negative coverage You lose gram-positive coverage You increase cost astronomically! So use 1 st generation cephalosporins for adults and children with presumed staph infection Use 2 nd generation for children with URIs Allergic Reactions to β-lactam Antibiotics Prevalence of penicillin allergy is only 2% Avoid penicillin in patients with history of severe PCN allergy Acute low blood pressure Extensive hives, swelling, itching Laryngeal edema Patients with mild PCN reactions can usually be given a cephalosporin 16
17 Macrolides Azithromycin Formulations Formulation Strength Cost Tablet Oral Suspension* 250, 600 mg 100, 200 mg/5ml 2 g/60 ml (single dose) Z-Pak 250 mg tablets (6) $26 Tri-Pak 500 mg tablets (3) $44 *Take at least 1 hr before or 2 hr after meals 17
