Allergic
Exercise induced
Norcturnal
What is MOA Of Beta 2 Agoinsts
Increase CAMP (which decreases Ca+) and causes smooth muscle relaxation
What is age children can first use Pirbuterol (MaxAir)
12 or olders
What are oral options for Short Acting B2 agoinsts (no choosen bc of systemic effects and shorter acting)

What are the long-acting Beta 2 Agoinsts
Formoterol, Salmeterol, Albuterol ER tabs,
Should the LABA ever be used ALONE in Asthma
NO--


Can use alone in COPD
What are the common side effects of Beta 2 agonists
Tremor, increase HR, and Hypokalemia--for oral

NO BENEFITS
LABA should only be used for the shortest duration possible and tapered off, and why must it always occur with other medications
LABAs can increase risk of asthma related death
What are available combination steriods/LABAs
Advair (fluticasone/salmeterol)

Dulera (mometasone/formoterol)
What is time to maximal benefit with inhaled corticosteriods, and should always counsel on
varies 2-3 weeks, rinse and spit mouth after use

Theophylline is NARROW therapuetic drug, what is window (MUST KNOW)
5-15 mcg/mL
What are SE of Theophilline toxicity
N/V, Insomnia, Tremors, HA, Confusion
Theophylline has MANY drug interactions, what does smoking do
decrease Theophylline levels
What is MOA of Xolair (Omalizumab)
inhibit the binding of IGE to mast cells and basophils
What is role of Xolair
moderate to severe allergic asthma not controlled well on other medications
How is Xolair administered, and often
SUBQ, dosed every 2-4 weeks
What are potential benefits of IGE antibodies
help reduce steriod use
What is STEP 1 of Asthma
SABA PRN
What is STEP 2

When should you consider stepping down in thearpy
after 3 months of good control
