Pharmacology — Key differences for NEET MDS
Amoxicillin = first-line antibiotic dental infections broad spectrum. Amoxicillin plus Clavulanic acid = augmentin beta-lactamase resistant. Metronidazole = anaerobic bacteria specific = ANUG treatment. Clindamycin = penicillin allergy alternative = bone penetration. IE prophylaxis = Amoxicillin 2g 1 hour before procedure. Azithromycin = alternative for penicillin allergy. Tetracycline = tooth staining contraindicated children.
