Nafcillin Interactions
What is nafcillin used to treat?
Nafcillin is used to treat infections caused by certain types of bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus. It is commonly used for skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, and endocarditis when the bacteria are resistant to penicillin but sensitive to nafcillin.
How is nafcillin different from penicillin?
Nafcillin and penicillin are both antibiotics, but they differ in their spectrum of activity and resistance to certain bacterial enzymes. Nafcillin is a penicillinase-resistant penicillin, meaning it is effective against bacteria that produce the enzyme penicillinase, which can inactivate penicillin. This makes nafcillin particularly useful for treating infections caused by penicillinase-producing strains of Staphylococcus aureus. In contrast, penicillin is not resistant to penicillinase and is generally used for infections caused by non-penicillinase-producing bacteria.
Is nafcillin only IV?
Nafcillin is primarily administered intravenously (IV), but it can also be given intramuscularly (IM) in certain cases. However, the IV route is more commonly used for its effectiveness in treating serious infections.
What bacteria does nafcillin cover?
Nafcillin is primarily effective against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, including penicillinase-producing strains. It is not effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or Gram-negative bacteria.
Can you take nafcillin if allergic to penicillin?
Nafcillin should be avoided if a person is allergic to penicillin, as it is a type of penicillin antibiotic. Allergies to penicillin can lead to serious reactions, so it is important to inform a healthcare provider about any known allergies to penicillin or related antibiotics.
