Re: UA resultsFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Thu Jun 8 10:26:14 2006
Since you are outside of the first trimester, Cipro would be my drug of choice, based on the sensitivities. The overall risk is low with no pattern of anomalies in studies, although drug induced fetal cartilage damage and arthropathies are a concern in animal studies. TCN would not be a good choice, Ceftriaxone would require parenteral administration, as would Gentamycin, so I would use either if she had to be hospitalized. Levaquin is also a quinolone, like Cipro, but according to Briggs, there are no studies on its use and studies on ofloxacin, its optical isomer, has not excluded a causal relationship with birth defects.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
