Question

what are the reason why doctors combine 3 antibiotics. (flaggy, cefepime and Vacomycin) the patient has Gas gangrene Cellulitis . Why will a patient be on Plavix, Wafarin and aspirin even though the person is bleeding so much from the surgery site.

Answer 1

Answer :

* Rather than using single drug like Vancomycin, the combination of Antibiotics will work effectively on diseases.

* For example Vancomycin combined with cefipime will give some good results if the patient is suffering from MRSA (Methecillin Resistance staphylococcus aureous) blood infection.

* The progress may come in the disease, by using combination of antibiotics, like in severe sepsis.

* Some of the chronic blood infections the doctors may use combined antibiotics,

* it will give some of the synegistic effect, means those will works effectively.

* Gas gangrene cellulitis is most severe cause of infection so that combination of antibiotics may works effectively.

* After the surgery patient is having bleeding from site of surgery.

* even though he is having bleeding, the plavix, warferine, and, aspirin should be given, because those are anticoagulation drugs, after the surgery there is a chance to clotting on blood vessels due to bleeding and some of anesthetic effect.

* by administering those we can reduces the heart attacks and some other stroke by supplying adequate blood flow, by anticoagulants effects.

* And also patient is on immobilization after the surgery, so there is a chance of developing thromboembolism, so we can give.
