bimatoprost (Latisse, Lumigan) class
agent for glaucoma
bimatoprost (Latisse, Lumigan) FDA uses
open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, hypotrichosis of the eyelashes
bimatoprost (Latisse, Lumigan) MOA
synthetic prostaglandin analog; lowers IOP by increasing outflow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork & uveoscleral drainage systems. The MOA for eyelash growth is unknown. It may work by increasing the duration & % of hairs in the anagen or growth phase.
bimatoprost (Latisse, Lumigan) MCP
- may permanently increase iris pigmentation
- hair growth is possible on skin surfaces after repeated contact with drug
- remove contact lenses before administration; reinsert after 15 minutes
- do not instill multiple ophthalmic products; allow at least 5 minutes between
cetirizine (Zyrtec) class
antihistamine
cetirizine (Zyrtec) FDA uses
- allergic conjunctivitis
- allergic rhinitis due to pollen
- urticaria (hives) acute or chronic
- perennial allergic rhinitis
- upper respiratory tract allergy
cetirizine (Zyrtec) MOA
human metabolite of hydroxyzine that selectively inhibits effects of peripheral H1 receptors
cetirizine (Zyrtec)
- ophthalmic use: remove contacts, reinsert after 10 minutes
- avoid alcohol & other CNS depressants
diphenhydramine (Benadryl) class
antihistamine
diphenhydramine (Benadryl) FDA uses
- allergic conjuctivitis
- allergic reaction
- allergic rhinitis
- anaphylaxis (w/epi or other measures)
- common cold
- insomnia
- motion sickness
- Parkinsonism
- pruritus (itching) of skin
diphenhydramine (Benadryl) MOA
Competes with histamine for H1-receptor sites on effector cells in the gastrointestinal tract, blood vessels, and respiratory tract; anticholinergic and sedative effects are also seen
diphenhydramine (Benadryl) MCP
- Young children may experience a paradoxical excitation effect (opposite effect of drug - hyperactivity)
- may cause anticholinergic effects (elderly pts more susceptible)
- avoid concomitant use with MAO inhibitors or CNS depressants
formoterol/budesonide (Symbicort) class
combined inhaled corticosteroids & bronchodilators
formoterol/budesonide (Symbicort) FDA uses
- asthma
- COPD
formoterol/budesonide (Symbicort) MOA
- Budesonide is an anti-inflammatory synthetic corticosteroid w/potent glucocorticoid & weak mineralocorticoid activity. It exhibits a broad range of active inhibition against multiple cell types & mediators involving allergic & nonallergic/irritant mediated inflammation
- Formoterol fumarate is a long-acting bronchodilator that exerts agonistic effects on beta(2)-adrenergic receptors, which are found principally in bronchial smooth muscle. The drug increases cyclic-3’, 5’-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels by stimulating intracellular adenyl cyclase, the catalyst for the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic AMP. A rise in cyclic AMP leads to bronchial smooth muscle relaxation and blockade of the release of immediate hypersensitivity mediators
formoterol/budesonide (Symbicort) MCP
- not intended for acute asthma attacks
- avoid exposure to chickenpox or measles
- report S&S of URI, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression (fatigue, depression, anxiety, hyperglycemia, muscle weakness, immunosuppression symptoms)
- DM pts report difficulties with glycemic control
- **rinse & spit after each use to prevent fungal infection
hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) class
agent for RA
