Used to decrease gastric secretions
Don’t cross BBB
Antiandrogenic effects (gynecomastia, decrease sperm)
Sumatriptan
Other -triptans
Serotonin receptor agonists
Treat migraines
Cause vasoconstriction
Not used with MAOIs (causes Serotonin Syndrome hyperthermia & mm twitch)
Ergotamine
Dihydroergotamine
Partial serotonin agonists Affect adrenergic, dopaminerrgic neurons SE: ergotism St. Anthony's Fire Hallucinations Uterine contractions (preg cat X) Severe vasospasms --> gangrene
Epinephrine (asthma)
Bronchodilator, beta-2 agonist
Activates all alpha and beta adrenergic receptors
Inhalation or injection
Increase HR, vasoconstriction, increase BP
Isoproterenol
First specific beta-2 agonist
Bronchodilator
Has been supplanted by more specific beta-2 agonists
Albuterol Pirbuterol Bitolterol Levabuterol Terbutaline
Relatively selective beta-2 agonists (B/rols)
T1/2 - 6 hours
Inhaled
Can cause downregulation of beta-2 receptors with prolonged use
SE: tremors, tachycardia, palpitations (beta-1 SEs)
Formoterol
Arformoterol
Salmeterol
Indicaterol
Longer-acting beta-2 agonists
Not for rapid relief
SE: tremors, tachycardia, palpitations (beta-1 SEs)

Tiotropium
Muscarinic receptor blockers (atropine derivatives)
Used mainly for COPD
SE: opposite DUMMBELS
Mad hatter, blind bat, dry bone, hot pistol
Theophylline
PDE inhibitor, methylxanthine
For chronic asthma
Inhibits cAMP PDE, elevates cellular cAMP
SE: cardiac stimulation - arrhythmia
CNS stimulation - tremors, insomnia, seizures
GI upset
Cromolyn sodium
Nedocromil
Anti-inflammatory agents for asthma
Mast cell inhibitors
Inhibit release of mediators from immune cells
Inhibit Cl channels, decrease Ca uptake
Beclomethasone Budesonide Fluticasone Mometasone Ciclesonide
DOC for asthma prophylaxis
Inhaled
Bind to intracellular receptors to alter DNA transcription
Increase lipocortin (inhibits phospholipase A2 synthesis)
SE: thrush (oral), dysphonia
Prednisone
Dexamethasone
DOC for asthma prophylaxis
NOT Inhaled
Bind to intracellular receptors to alter DNA transcription

Inhibits 5-lipoxygenase
SE: increased liver enzymes
Zafirlukast
Montelukast
Leukotriene receptor blocker
Asthma
Aspirin (ASA)
Inhibits COX 1&2 Prevents prostaglandin synthesis Weak acid, absorbed better in stomach than intestine Forms salicyclic acid once metabolized, binds to plasma proteins Antipyretic Analgesic Anti-inflammatory Anticlotting
Acetaminophen
Non-narcotic analgesic NOT AN NSAID No anti platelet effects Less GI problems than aspirin OD: 10-15g (20-30 tablets) Leading cause of acute liver failure SE: decreased GSH in liver
