20
Q

what is the mechanism of action of SABA/LABA

A

Agonist binds to beta-2-adrenoceptor which initiates chain of reactions that causes ATP to be converted into cAMP leading to relaxation of airway smooth muscle

21
Q

what is the mechanism of action of ICS

A

anti-inflammatory affect due to mediating transcription of specific genes to alter mRNA levels and the rate of synthesis if inflammatory and anti-inflammatory proteins

22
Q

what is the mechanism of action of SAMA

A

non-selective, anti-cholinergic bronchodilator

23
Q

what is the mechanism of action of LAMA

A

M3 selective, anti-cholinergic bronchodilator
