WWUViking1983 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 So I'm in my first quarter of Pharm and was wondering if anyone has a good resource for finding the first line drugs for specific pathogens. My textbooks are good for listing the spectrum for each class, but I'd like to know the go-to drugs. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDayBFL Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 So I'm in my first quarter of Pharm and was wondering if anyone has a good resource for finding the first line drugs for specific pathogens. My textbooks are good for listing the spectrum for each class, but I'd like to know the go-to drugs. Thanks! Sanford Guide or EMRA are good. I would recommend taking a few hours and making a list of 10 conditions that commonly present (UTI, sinusitis, otitis media, diabetic foot ulcer, MRSA skin infx, etc) and write down the most common pathogens and then top three treatments including dose. Knowing first line treatment is nice but you better know more than one as patients do like to pull that allergy card on you. It will save you during clinical year.

GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Johns Hopkins has an app as well. Adult dosing only as I recall. There's always Epocrates (Plus, formally known as Essentials). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
