ANTIMICROBIAL DRUGS (part I)
Antimicrobial drugs have evolved greatly since the discoveries of Salvarsan, sulfonamides, penicillin, and streptomycin. Many modern antibiotics are produced by soil bacteria like Streptomyces. Antibiotics can be bacteriostatic or bactericidal, and have narrow or broad spectra of activity. They work via several mechanisms including inhibiting cell wall, protein, DNA, and folate synthesis. Adverse effects include allergic reactions, toxicity, and disruption of normal flora. Selection of antimicrobial therapy requires confirming infection and identifying pathogens. Classes of antimicrobials also exist for viruses, fungi, protozoa, and helminths.

Principles of drug therapy in dentistry
This document discusses routes of drug administration and forms used in dentistry. The main routes include oral, sublingual/buccal, parenteral (intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous), inhalational, and local delivery. The oral route is most common but has lower bioavailability than other routes. Sublingual administration avoids first-pass metabolism. Parenteral routes have highest bioavailability but require professional administration. Drug forms include tablets, capsules, solutions, suspensions, and emulsions for oral use, as well as injections for parenteral routes. Proper consideration of administration route and drug form is important for safe and effective treatment in dentistry.

OTC drugs are medicines that can be purchased without a prescription.

Clinicians can help prevent misuse by educating patients, reviewing all medications, and encouraging guidance from medical professionals when treating with OTC drugs.

Drug Abuse PPT by nirav
Drug addiction involves complex interactions between brain circuitry, genetics, environment, and an individual's experiences. The mesolimbic dopamine system plays a key role in addiction, with drugs of abuse activating dopamine release and reinforcement. Animal models show addictive behaviors like prolonged self-administration despite negative consequences. Tolerance and withdrawal are also features of physical dependence. Treatment involves managing withdrawal symptoms, as well as behavioral therapies and medications to address psychological dependence and prevent relapse.
