Effect on airway smooth muscle?
-no direct effect on airway smooth muscle
How must inhaled steroids be taken?

Effect on need for systemic steroids?
-Inhaled steroids may reduce need for systemic steroids
Inhaled steroids

Effect on Bronchial activity?
-bronchial activity is reduced
Inhaled Steroids

Effect of prolonged effect of inhaled steroids on airway smooth muscle
-prolonged inhalation of steroids reduces the hyperresponsiveness of the airway smooth muscle
-anti-inflammatory steroids reduce inflammation by reversing mucosal edema, decreasing permeability of capillaries and inhibiting release of leukotrienes

(Xolair)

Class

(recombinant DNA-derived, humanized)
Omalizumab
(Xolair)

MOA
inhibits the binding of IgE to high-affinity IgE receptor (FceRI) on mast cells and basophils—limiting the release of allergic mediators
