6 Vancomycin Dosing and Monitoring Vancomycin 15 mg/kg (total body weight) max 2 gm. Interval Q 8 hours suggested for Age < 40 and Scr < 1.4 Q12 hours suggested for age and Scr < 1.4 Q24 hours suggested for age >65 or Scr >1.4 (regardless of age) Loading dose (25-30 mg) may be considered for seriously ill or obese patients (max 3-4 gm). Measure trough at steady state (prior to 4 th or 5 th dose-when dosing interval selected as above) if patient will remain on vancomycin. Vancomycin Target Trough of 15 estimates an AUC of 400. AUC of > 400 has been associated with improved clinical response Higher troughs (> 20) have been associated with increased nephrotoxicity Elevated vancomycin MICs (> 2 mcg/ml) have been associated with increased likelihood of vancomycin failure What went wrong? A 72 year old 61 kg female with a Scr of 1.3 is started on vancomycin 1 gm Q 12 h for cellulitis that did not respond to oral antibiotics. After the 3 rd dose a vancomycin level is obtained an the level is 14 mcg/ml. She is sent home that evening to continue receiving vancomycin by home care. She will have a Scr 2x/week and vanco level in 1 week. He Scr rises to 1.6. She is feeling poorly and is now confused. She is readmitted and her Scr is 1.7 and her vancomycin level taken 12 hours after a dose is 37 mcg/ml She was not at steady state when the level was taken after the 3 rd dose, she continued to accumulate drug leading to renal insufficiency. Her level was taken too early and she was discharged prematurely A more appropriate starting dose and monitoring plan would have been 15 mg/kg (915 mg) rounded up to 1 gram given every 24 hours. Draw the serum level after the 3 rd dose. Perhaps could have been discharged but the level in the home environment would have occurred the next day. Clindamycin (Cleocin) FDA approved for S. aureus infections Bacteriostatic not recommended for endovascular infections Excellent tissue penetration Limited CSF penetration D-zone test for detection of inducible clindamycin resistance in Erythromycin-resistant, Clindamycin susceptible isolates Diarrhea occurs in up to 20% of patients Oral suspension not well tolerated (may need to add flavoring) Ceftaroline (Teflaro) FDA approved for SSTI and CAP Cephalosporin with MRSA activity (high affinity for penicillin binding protein (PBP) 2a Safety profile similar to ceftriaxone 5
7 Daptomycin (Cubicin) FDA approved for adults with S. aureus bacteremia, right sided endocarditis and cssti. Bactericidal Not used for MRSA pneumonia (inactivated by surfactant) Highly protein bound; renally excreted Elevation of CPK is most common adverse effect (monitor CPK weekly. Eosinophilic pneumonia has been reported Linezolid (Zyvox) FDA approved for SSTI and nosocomial pneumonia caused by MRSA in adults and children Bacteriostatic 100% oral bioavailability; only use IV if patient unable to take oral medication Hematologic toxicity, thrombocytopenia, anemia, neutropenia. Peripheral and optic neuropathy and lactic acidosis Weak non-selective MAOI inhibitor has been associated with serotonin syndrome in pts taking SSRI Quinupristin-Dalfopristin (Synercid) FDA approved for cssti in adults and children > 16 yrs Inhibits protein synthesis but the combo is bactericidal Arthralgias, myalgias, nausea and infusion-related reactions. Telavancin (Vibativ) FDA approved for cssti in adults Bactericidal Nephrotoxicity is more common than vancomycin Monitor Scr, drug level monitoring not available Taste disturbances, nausea, headache, foamy urine Adverse fetal outcomes in animal studies, potential for abnormal fetal development TMP/SMX (Bactrim) Not FDA approved for staphylococcal infections, however % of CA-MRSA strains are susceptible in vitro Hyperkalemia especially in elderly patients on reninangiotension inhibitors or with chronic renal insufficiency. Not recommended in third trimester of pregnancy or in infants under 2 months due to possibility of kernicterus. Vancomycin (Vancocin) FDA approved for the treatment of MRSA infections Slowly bactericidal Possible emergence of resistant strains Tissue penetration is variable (limited penetration into bone, lung epithelial lining fluid and CSF). Renal toxicity at higher doses Monitor Scr, and drug levels 6
8 Doxycycline (Vibramycin)/ Minocycline (Minocin) FDA approved for SSTI due to S. aureus but not specific for MRSA. In vitro activity against MRSA Bacteriostatic Some isolates R to doxycycline may be S to minocycline Not recommended in pregnancy or children < 8 yrs Tigecycline (Tygacil) FDA approved for cssti and intraabdominal infections Glycylcycline, derivative of minocycline Bacteriostatic High tissue concentrations; low serum concentrations FDA warning for serious infections to consider alternative agents due to increased all cause mortality in clinical trials of tigycycline Nausea and vomiting are common adverse effects Not recommended in pregnancy or children Rifampin (Rifadin) Bactericidal activity agains S. aureus, achieves high levels and penetrated biofilm Do not use alone, resistance develops rapidly Do not use until blood cultures are negative Role not clearly defined Drug interactions Gentamicin (Garamycin) Bactericidal Used in combination, not used as primary therapy Nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity Post-Assessment Questions A 6 year old child has cellulitis associated with a recent abrasion.
