Antibiotic Guide

Guide Introduction

Systemic antimicrobials (po, IV, IM) available on the MUHC formulary are listed below. Each antibiotic is categorized into one of three groups (Access, Watch and Reserve) to support antimicrobial stewardship efforts and limit the emergence of drug resistance across our hospital network.  

​

For each agent, we highlight predictable spectrum of activity, common indications for use, adverse events, and requirements for monitoring. For recommended dosing, dose adjustment for special populations, safety in pregnancy/lactation, please consult online MUHC formulary available via Lexicomp (Available when in the MUHC).
