Reformatted Antibiotic List for Group A Streptococcal Pharyngitis

I understand you're requesting a reformatted version of a previously provided antibiotics table. Since I don't have access to the original table you're referring to, I'll provide a comprehensive list-based format for Group A Streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis treatment based on the most current IDSA guidelines 1, 2.

For Patients WITHOUT Penicillin Allergy:

First-Line Options (Strong, High Quality Evidence):

Oral Penicillin V 1, 3, 2

• Children: 250 mg twice or three times daily
• Adolescents/Adults: 250 mg four times daily OR 500 mg twice daily
• Duration: 10 days

Oral Amoxicillin 1, 3, 2

• Dosing: 50 mg/kg once daily (maximum 1,000 mg)
• Alternative: 25 mg/kg twice daily (maximum 500 mg per dose)
• Duration: 10 days

Intramuscular Benzathine Penicillin G 1, 3, 2

• <27 kg (60 lb): 600,000 units
• ≥27 kg (60 lb): 1,200,000 units
• Single dose administration

For Patients WITH Penicillin Allergy:

Non-Immediate Hypersensitivity (Strong, High Quality Evidence):

Oral Cephalexin 1, 2

• Dosing: 20 mg/kg per dose twice daily (maximum 500 mg per dose)
• Duration: 10 days
• Caution: Avoid in immediate (Type I) hypersensitivity to penicillin

Oral Cefadroxil 1, 2

• Dosing: 30 mg/kg once daily (maximum 1 g)
• Duration: 10 days
• Caution: Avoid in immediate (Type I) hypersensitivity to penicillin

Immediate Hypersensitivity or Cephalosporin Intolerance:

Oral Clindamycin (Strong, Moderate Quality Evidence) 1, 2

• Dosing: 7 mg/kg per dose three times daily (maximum 300 mg per dose)
• Duration: 10 days

Oral Azithromycin (Strong, Moderate Quality Evidence) 1, 2

• Dosing: 12 mg/kg once daily (maximum 500 mg)
• Duration: 5 days
• Important: Geographic and temporal resistance variation exists

Oral Clarithromycin (Strong, Moderate Quality Evidence) 1, 2

• Dosing: 7.5 mg/kg per dose twice daily (maximum 250 mg per dose)
• Duration: 10 days
• Important: Geographic and temporal resistance variation exists

Key Clinical Considerations:

Penicillin and amoxicillin remain the drugs of choice due to narrow spectrum, minimal adverse effects, and low cost 1. The 10-day duration is standard for most regimens to ensure pharyngeal eradication and prevent rheumatic fever 1, 3.

Common Pitfall: Macrolide resistance (azithromycin, clarithromycin) varies significantly by geographic region and changes over time 1, 2. Consider local resistance patterns when selecting these agents.

For Pregnant Patients: Azithromycin 1 g orally single dose OR Amoxicillin 500 mg three times daily for 7 days are preferred 3.
