2 secretions that help to keep nose wet
Mucus and tears
Most common area for secretions to build up on exterior nose

7 classes of respiratory drugs
Antitussive, Expectorants, Bronchodilators, Mucolytic, Decongestants, Antihistamines, Respiratory Stimulants
3 catagories of bronchodilators
Anticholinergic, Beta-2 Adrenergic Agonists, Methylxanthines
when to and not to use antitussives
not with wet cough: pneumonia. good for dry cough: kennel cough
one main antitussive drug, generic and trade name, that is also an analgesic and a sedative
Butorphanol, TORBUTROL
detail Butorphanol
antitussive, non-narcotic, not addictive, C-4 controlled substance, doesn't interfere with other drugs
detail expectorants
increases mucus production, helps a dry cough to moisten and soothe it
Expectorant drug, generic and trade name, and precaution
Guaifenesin, ROBITUSSIN, give only plain product without other drugs
what do bronchodilators do, indications and uses
open airways, decrease resistance for airflow; used with CHF and asthma attack
what do bronchodilating anticholinergics do
prevent acetylcholine from binding, therefore blocks bronchoconstriction
bronchodilating anticholinergic drugs (3) and its effects
Atropine, Glycopyrrolate ROBINUL, Aminopentamide; dry MM, respiratory secretions, antisialogues
how do beta-2 adrenergic agonist bronchodilators work?
assist sympathetic nervous system; stabilizes mast cells and blocks histamine release, becasue this would swell MMs, therefore relieves bronchoconstriction
3 beta-2 adrenergic agonist bronchodilator drugs and which can be nebulized?
Epinephrine, Terbutaline, Albuterol can be nebulized but causes CNS stimulation & tachycardia
how do methylxanthine bronchodilators work?
they inhibit an enzyme that causes constriction
2 most used methylxanthine bronchodilators
Aminophylline, Theophylline
use and routes of mucolytics
thins mucus making it easier to spit up, can be given IV, oral, nebulized
main mucolytic drug name generic and trade
Acetylcysteine, MUCOMYST
used to counteract acetominaphine poisoning in cats, catagory and generic name
Mucolytic, Acetylcysteine
5 antitussive drugs

Hydrocodone
a Class IV controlled substance antitussive not often used in practice
Codeine
