Anticholinergics
Short Acting Beta Agonist Systemic Corticosteroids --------------------------------------- Inhaled corticosteroids Mast cell stabilizer Immunomodulator Leukotriene modifiers Long acting beta agonist Methylxanthines |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Ipratropium (Atrovent) Tiotropium (Spiriva) |
Anticholinergics
Block muscarinic cholinergic receptor in the bronchi causing bronchodilation |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Epinephrine Albuterol Levalbuterol |
Short acting beta agonist
Stimulate beta-2 receptors of intracellular adenyl cylclase in smooth muscles of lungs causing bronchodilation |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Prednisone Methylprednisone Hydrocortisone |
Systemic Corticosteroids
Suppress inflammation |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Budesonide (Pulmicort) Flovent Fluticasone, Triamcinolone |
Inhaled Corticosteroids
Suppress inflammation |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Cromolyn (Intal) Nedocromil (Tilade) |
Mast cell stabilizers
Suppress inflammation and prevents histamine release and mast cell degranulation |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Omalizumab (Xolair) |
Immunomodulators
Binds to IgE receptor on mast cells and basophils to limit release of mediators of allergic response |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Zileuton (Zyglo CR) Zafirlukast (Accolate) Montelukast (Singulair) |
Leukotriene Modifiers
Modify inflammatory response to lipoxygenase or blocking leukotriene receptor site which will decrease bronchoconstriction, mucus production and airway edema. |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Salmterol (Serevent) Formoterol (Foradil) |
Long acting beta agonist
Stimulates adenyl cyclase to increase cAMP causing bronchodilation |
|
|
Which class do these drugs belong to?
Theophylline (PO) Aminophylline (IV) |
Methylxanthines
Inhibits phosphodiesterase enzymes which prevents cAMP degradation in smooth muscle causing bronchodilation and suppression of airway stimuli |
|
|
Which two meds can be used in combination to quickly treat asthma/ copd?
|
AA
Atrovent/ Albuterol |
|
|
Which medication used to treat asthma causes an adverse reaction when given with an MAOI?
|
Short Acting Beta Agonists
Epinephrine, Albuterol, Levalbuterol Long Acting Beta Agonists Salmtereol (Serevent) Formoterol (Foradil) also shouldn't be given with beta blocker |
|
|
Which medication used to treat asthma/ copd should be used with caution when treating diabetic patients?
|
Systemic corticosteroids
Prednisone, Methylprednisolone, Hydrocortisone causes hyperglycemia |
|
|
Which medication used to treat asthma/ copd leads to increased risk for tendon rupture when prescribed with a Quinolone?
