|
|
Anti-inflammatory Mast cell stabilizer Cromolyn |
Blocks the release of inflammatory mediators, preventing the allergic response from happening in the first place |
|
|
Anti-inflammatory Anti-leukotriene Montelukast |
Blocks the effects of leukotrienes (leukotrienes are products of the arachidonic acid metabolism, functioning in the inflammatory cascade) |
|
|
Anti-inflammatory Anti-leukotriene Zafirlukast |
Blocks the effects of leukotrienes (leukotrienes are products of the arachidonic acid metabolism, functioning in the inflammatory cascade) |
|
|
Anti-inflammatory Anti-leukotriene Zlieuton |
Inhibits 5-lipoxygenase, preventing the formation of leukotrienes in the first place |
|
|
Bronchodilators Short acting B2 agonist Albuterol |
Agonist at the adrenergic receptor (Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors leads to relaxation of smooth muscle in the lung, and dilation and opening of the airway) NO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION |
|
|
Bronchodilators Short acting B2 agonist Levalbuterol |
Agonist at the adrenergic receptor (Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors leads to relaxation of smooth muscle in the lung, and dilation and opening of the airway) NO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION |
|
|
Bronchodilators Short acting B2 agonist Pirbuterol |
Agonist at the adrenergic receptor (Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors leads to relaxation of smooth muscle in the lung, and dilation and opening of the airway) NO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION |
|
|
Bronchodilators Long acting B2 agonist Formoterol |

|
Bronchodilators Long acting B2 agonist Indacaterol |
Agonist at the adrenergic receptor (Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors leads to relaxation of smooth muscle in the lung, and dilation and opening of the airway) NO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION |
|
|
Bronchodilators Long acting B2 agonist Salmetrol |
Agonist at the adrenergic receptor (Activation of beta-adrenergic receptors leads to relaxation of smooth muscle in the lung, and dilation and opening of the airway) NO ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION |
|

Block contraction of airway smooth muscle mediated by the vagus nerve by blocking acetylcholine receptors |
|
|
Other bronchodilator Theophylline |
Bronchodilator that increases cAMP and antagonizes the adenosine receptors |
|
|
Immunoglobulin Antagonist Omalizumab |
Recombinant DNA monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to IgE, decreasing the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells and basophils |
|
