Brain abscess drugs are pharmacological agents used in the treatment of localized infections within the brain tissue caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites. The goal of drug therapy is to eliminate the infecting organism, reduce inflammation, and prevent complications such as increased intracranial pressure or neurological damage.

Common Drug ClassesAntimicrobial therapy for brain abscesses typically involves a combination of antibiotics or antifungal agents, depending on the causative pathogen. Broad-spectrum antibiotics such as third-generation cephalosporins, metronidazole, and vancomycin are commonly used until culture results identify the specific organism. In fungal cases, amphotericin B or azole derivatives may be administered.

Mechanism of ActionThese drugs act by disrupting essential processes in microbial cells, such as cell wall synthesis, protein synthesis, or nucleic acid replication. The choice of drug and dosage is guided by the ability of the compound to penetrate the blood–brain barrier and achieve therapeutic concentrations within the central nervous system.
