On this episode of the Top 200 Drugs Podcast, I cover medications 151-155. This podcast includes; cefuroxime, ketoconazole, pregabalin, esomeprazole, and ipratropium/albuterol.
Cefuroxime is a 2nd generation cephalosporin that has a very similar bacterial coverage profile to amoxicillin. It has significant gram positive coverage.
Ketoconazole is an azole antifungal medication. It is well known for causing hepatotoxicity as well as interactions via CYP3A4.
Pregabalin has a lot of similarities with gabapentin. It can be used fo various pain syndromes such as neuropathy and fibromyalgia.
Esomeprazole is a PPI and has a similar profile to omeprazole. It inhibits CYP2C19 and has a few notable interactions that I cover in this episode.
Ipratropium and albuterol is a combination of a short acting anticholinergic and short acting beta agonist.
