Which would be the first drug regime to be prescribed to improve dyspnea?
A 21-year-old male patient is admitted with 8 hours of severe breathlessness. He has just started smoking and has a previous history of asthma. His only medication is a salbutamol inhaler, which is providing little benefit. His expiratory peak flow is 280L/min (Best 620L/min). On examination, a widespread, polyphonic expiratory wheeze is detected throughout the chest. His respiratory rate is 32/min; SaO2 is 80% on air, and he has just begun to receive oxygen.
- Nebulised salbutamol
- Corticosteroid inhaler
- Oral prednisolone
- Salmeterol inhaler
- Nebulised salbutamol
Which steroid is administered in more severe forms of asthma and exacerbations of COPD?

- Prednisolone
Prednisolone
Which is most appropriate when using fluticasone via a metered dose inhaler?
- More of the dose enters the lung than is swallowed
- A maximum dose of 2mg/day does not suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
- Reduces maintenance of oral prednisolone in chronic asthma.
- Has a higher systemic bioavailability than prednisolone.
- Reduces maintenance oral prednisolone dose in chronic asthma.
Please select the most appropriate treatment option to manage her asthma.
A 20-year-old woman, diagnosed with asthma six months ago, has been using a salbutamol inhaler 0.1mg 2 puffs every 12 hours. She has allergic rhinitis and eczema managed with oral cetirizine 10mg oral and various topical agents. She reports a worsening of her nocturnal cough and tremor, which has developed over the last months, together with a 25% drop in peak expiratory flow. The cough has responded to an increase in the use of the inhaler.
- Stop salbutamol Inhaler
- Increase salbutamol inhaler to 2 puffs, six hourly.
- Add steroid inhaler
- Add steroid inhaler and counsel about salbutamol overuse.
- Add steroid inhaler and counsel about salbutamol overuse.
