37 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
what is the estimated inhalers compliance?
5% use correctly
what is the pathway for B2 agonists causing bronchodilation?
g protein coupled receptor...inc cAMP..activates PKA,

Ca activated K channel--> hyperpolarized membrane-->dec cellular activiity

dec PLC-IP3 ca path---> inc. Na Ca Xchange and inc Na Ca ATPase.... leads to dec intracellular Ca and less sm contract

dec MLCK... actin and myosin cant int as much
Albuterol
short acting B2 agonist
2 puffs PRN (minute in btwn)
5-10 min onset... good for attacks
Salmeterol
oa 15 dur 12hr
long acting b2 ag
fixed basis
fomoterol
oa <15 dur 12
long acting b2 ag
fixed basis
arcapta
oa 5 dur 24 hr
indicated for COPD
long acting b2 ag
fixed basis
B2 agonist SE
cardiac effects.. tolerate with use

reflex tachycard.. etc
methylxanthines (theophylline)
SE: same as too much coffee (CNS, n&v diuresis, cardiac stim)
MOA: inhibit PDE... cant break down cAMP
anti inflamatory (PDEi, histone d acetylase activ)
inhib adenosine receptors.... no histamine and leuko release
strengthen resp. muscles (COPD)
oa hours
narrow TPI
metabolism: liver cyp1a2,
varied half life
may help nocturnal asthma
drug interactions for theophylline
eythro decrease metabolism
phenytoin increase metabolism

cigs and charred meat incr metab
Roflumilast
PDE4i- found in inflam cells sensory nerves, epi cells in airway

adjunct to bronchodilator, for COPD with bronchitis

cyp3a4, contra for liver fail
SE: gi insomnia, depression
Which muscarinic receptor do we want to block in the airway and why?
M3 bc it activ PLC which activaes Gq which increases intra cell Ca which leads to bronchoconstriction,

M3 also increases muco secretion
Ipratropium
blocks all M recptors
OA 20 min dur 4-6 hr
for COPD
tiotropium
blocks M3 and M1 for 24 hrs
OA 30 min
SE: dry mouth cough bitter taste naseau
good for COPD not as much for asthma, though may be good
glucocorticoids
control inflamation
most asthma take these
mimic cortisol
anti-inflamatory
immune supressing, catabolic

MOA: decrease prod of inflma medi (cytokines and leukos), dec vascular perm, decr mucus secret, increase B receptors
Decrease acetyltransferase activity and activate de acetylaase.... similar to theophyline but more effective... leads to dec expression of inflam mediators

NOT RESCUE, fixed
SE of Gluccocorticoids
hoarseness, candidiasis thrush (rinse), osteoporosis
adrenal suppression
prednisone
prodrug (not for liver impaired)
5-7 days after exacerbation
or chronic severe
long term: increase dose when increase stress
se of prednisone
short and long term
short: mood changes increase appetite hyperglycemia candidiasis

long: adrenal suppression, osteoporosis, glaucoma
do you need to taper the dose of glucocorticoid if a pt comes off of it?
yes, after theyve been taking it for 2-4 weeks
cysLT1 receptoer antagonsis
montelukast
well tolerated, less effective than glucco
po 1x daily
5 lipo inhib
Zileuton
less frequent than montelukast bc
inhibs cyp1a2
requires liver funct monitor
casue flue like syndrom
Cromones
MOA: inhibits mast cell medaitor release
decrease cough reflex and PNS activity
2-3 months before full effect
few SE: bronchospas cough wheez
stepwise approach fro asthma
1. sa B2 agonist rescue inhaler
2. low dose inhaled glucocorticoid
3. increase dose of steroid
4. check dust mites
5. decres therapy if controlled for 3 months
what causes 80% of COPD exacerbations? what is a key to preventing theses?
viral or bacterial resp infections

immunizations are key
what are the common drugs used for COPD?
bronchodilators to control dyspnea (B2 for rescue, tiotropium for long acting)
inhaled corticosteriods
NAC- mucolytic
N acetylcysteine
mild mucolytic via inhalation
antidote for acetominophen overdoes (structure similar to glutathione
SE n/v fever flush tachycard, anaphylaxis
treatments for allergic rhinitis:

5
1. anithistamine
2. decongestants
3. intranasal cromolyn
4. intranasal anitcholinergics
5. intranasal and systemic gluccocort (mainstay)
what cells release histamine?
mast cells in tissues and basophils in blood. lots of H1 receptors in bronchial tree and nasal mucosa
are antihistamines better for prevention or reversal of symptoms?
prevention
SE of 1st gen antihistamines:
antimuscarinic effects

dry mouth urine retention blurrd vision tachy card constipation hypomania
What must a decongestant do?
cause vasocontriction... via alpha receptor.
SE of decongestant:
HTN
oxymetazoline
long acting topical decongestant
pseudophed
most effective decongest,.... can be used to make meth
phenylephrine
not as good for nasal congestion
dextromethorphan
OTC cough suppressant
hallucinogenic at high doses
guaifenesin
reduces viscosity and adhesion of secreiton, incre mucociliary clearance.
natural decongestants
bitter orange
ephedra
