This picture has a new meaning to me. This antibiotic I took a week or so ago. I was diagnosed with bronchitis, and as I read online it's for mild to moderate respiratory infections. I've become intrigued by it's structure, as I've been studying medicinal structures in my pharmacology class. Just looking at the structure says a lot of the drug...I wanted to see if I could figure out how long the drug would last in my body based on whether it's slow release or what (by looking at it's structure)..as that could interfere with other drugs I take. I read up on how this drug can readily get into phagocytes (White blood cells) which basically carries it to the site of infection..what an awesome mechanism, and what a genius who came up with it!!

Just interesting how they synthesize these thingies, and how they work.

I have a love hate relationship with drugs. I work with them, and like to test them, but the pressures of the project makes me hate them. Same goes for the pharmacology class...I love the shit to death, can't drop the class cause it's interesting. I've been busting my ass all semester studying for it, as well as other shit going on....yet I hate the exams, as I never have time to study...

Still..the compound above is lovely...No I'm not geeky; just interested ;)
