Macrolides are for true penicillin allergy; co-amoxiclav isn’t first-line here. 2 β-lactams including penicillin V (Phenoxymethylpenicillin) bind PBPs and block cell-wall cross-linking → bactericidal. 3 Clarithromycin is a macrolide (50S inhibitor). Doxycycline is a tetracycline (30S). Co-amoxiclav is a β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor. Amoxicillin is a penicillin 4 According to NICE guidelines, the first step abx for bacterial sinusitis is Penicillin V but for worsening symptoms Co-amoxiclav is recommended. This is because worsening/prolonged sinusitis suggests β-lactamase–producing organisms so penicillin will be ineffective https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng79/chapter/recommendations#choice-of-antibiotic 5 avoid tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline) in pregnancy and in children younger than 12 due to effects on teeth/bone. Penicillins and erythromycin are generally acceptable. 6 Watch three things with clarithromycin: tummy upset, heart-rhythm risk from QT prolongation, and drug interactions because clarithromycin blocks CYP3A4, so drugs that rely on this enzyme (e.g., simvastatin, warfarin) build up in the blood and can cause toxicity. 7 Amoxicillin/ampicillin often trigger a benign widespread rash in EBV infections; avoid if mononucleosis suspected. (common exam question, I did a similar one on pastest) 8 Clavulanate inhibits many β-lactamases, protecting amoxicillin from enzymatic degradation; it doesn’t fix altered PBP 9 Most AOM improves in 2–3 days without antibiotics. Offer no or delayed antibiotics unless the child is systemically unwell, is less than 2 years old with bilateral AOM, or has otorrhoea. Provide analgesia and safety-netting. https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng91/chapter/recommendations 10 Tetracyclines can cause photosensitivity and oesophageal irritation/ulceration so take with plenty of water and stay upright
