Albuterol
class?
MOA?
adverse?
contra?
-bronchodilator, b2 agonist
-oral, parenteral, inhalation (best), action 3-12hrs; prototype of short acting drug used "as needed", phrophylactic
-dose related muscle tremor, palpitation, metabolic effects, tolerance
-cardiac dz, seizures, elderly, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma
Salmeterol
class?
MOA?
adverse?
contra?
-bronchodilator, b2 agonist
-reverses bronchoconstriction, LABA (long acting drugs) >12hrs (prototype), never use alone combine with ICS, "as needed" for COPD
-dose related muscle tremor, palpitation, metabolic effects, tolerance
-cardiac dz, seizures, elderly, hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma
Aminophylline
Theophylline
class?
MOA?
uses?
adverse?
contra?
-bronchodilator; methylxanthines (related to caffeine)
-oral + parenteral, rapidly absorbed, hepatic metabolism (MONITOR plasma!), several mechanisms
-acute/chronic asthma, COPD, apnea in preterm infants, cheyne strokes respiration
-anorexia, N/V, hyperthermia, tinnitus, precoridal pain, seizures, rhabdomyolysis
-arrhythmias, peptic ulcer dz, liver cirrhosis, insomnia, elderly
Ipratropium
class?
MOA?
uses?
adverse?
-bronchodilator, anticholinergic (muscarinic receptor antagonist)
-quaternary ammonium derivative of atropine, nasal + inhalational, slow action onset; 6-8hrs, competes with ACh, blocks contraction and mucus secretion
-choice of drug for COPD, rhinorrhea
-bronchoconstriction bc of M2 ACh release inhibition, urinary retention, dry mouth
Tiotropium
class?
MOA?
uses?
adverse?
-bronchodilator, anticholinergic (selective M1, M3 receptor ACh competitive inhibitor)
-blocks contraction and mucus secretion from vagal stimulation; long acting ~24 hrs (inhalation)
-asthma, choice for COPD, rhinorrhea
-urinary retention, dry mouth
Corticosteroids
oral?
parenteral?
ICS use?
adverse?
-prednisolone, prednisone
-hydrocortisone, prednisolone, methylprednisolone
-BBCHFFMT; use for persistent asthma, should be combined with B2 agonist when its needed >2x weekly; modifies inflammatory process and prevents structural changes NOT bronchodilator
-ICS (due to deposition in oropharynx)- hoarseness, dysphonia, COPD pneumonia, candidiasis
Cromolyn
Nedocromil
class?
MOA?
uses?
adverse?
-Chromone derivatives (insoluble salts)
-alters func of plasma membrane bound delayed Cl channels
-prophylaxis for antigen and exercise induced asthma, symptom control for perennial asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, GI allergy
-localized to deposition site, throat irritation, myositis, dermatitis, pulm infiltrates
Montelukast
class?
MOA?
uses?
adverse?
contra?
-Leukotriene pathway inhibitor
-CysLT1 receptor antagonist- blocks LT mediated effects of airway edema, smooth m. contraction, pro-inflammatory cell activity
-prophylaxis + chronic asthma, seasonal/perennial allergic rhinitis, exercise induced bronchospasm prophylaxis, reduces aspirin induced asthma
-fever, inc liver enzymes, sinusitis, behavioral changes
-use w conivaptan, deferasirox, pegIFN2b
Zafirlukast
class?
MOA?
uses?
adverse?
contra?
-leukotriene pathway inhibitor
-antagonist of CysLT1 receptor; give oral on empty stomach
-prophylaxis and tx of asthma in adults and kids >5, aspirin induced asthma
-headache, pain, fever, N/V, eosinophilia, vasculitis
-breastfeeding women, liver dz, use with warfarin, carvediol,erthromycin, pegIFN2b, theophylline
Omalizumab
class/MOA?
uses?
adverse?
contra?
-Monoclona IgG antibody; binds IgE to keep it from binding IgE receptors on mast cells and basophils
-moderate>severe persistent allergic asthma (that ICS doesn't really work for), improves symptoms of allergic rhinitis
-headache, injection site, URTI, alopecia, AB formation to drug, Hypersensitivity rxn up to a yr later
-acute bronchospasm, parasitic infections, kids <12, use with steroids, BCG vaccines, ....
Ambrisentan

uses?
adverse?
contra?

-prescribed by LEAP, hepatic impairment, preggos, use with conivaptan, grapefruit deferasirox, dasatinib
Bosentan
class/MOA?
uses?
adverse?
contra?
-PAH; ET-1 antagonist at ETa/b receptors
