Q

What is LABA and SABA?
What is the difference?

A

Long and short acting beta agonists (bronchodilators)
Long: taken once daily for maintenance
short: rescue inhaler, taken for quick response and relief

17
Q

What are LAMA and SAMA?
How do they work?

A

Long and short acting Muscarinic antagonists: Anticholinergic drugs (bronchodilators)
block parasympathetic stimulation –> prevent bronchoconstriction

18
Q

What are the SE of LAMA and SAMA

A

dry mouth, constipation, urinary retention, tacchycardia, blurred vision, confusion

19
Q

What is the drug of choice in COPD (LAMA or LABA)

A

LAMA

20
Q

Adivar (fluticasone with salmeterol) and servent (salmeterol) are examples of ___

A

LABAs

21
Q

people with CB, emphysema, and asthma are usually on a ___

A

LABA

22
Q

albuterol sulfate is an example of a __

A

SABA

23
Q

Ipratropium (atrovent) and tiotropium (Spriva) are examples of ___

A

LAMAs

24
Q

How does glucocorticoids help bronchospasm in people with COPD and asthma

A

since its an anti-inflammatory it controls inflammation-mediated bronchospasm

25
Q

Prednisone, beclomethasone, budesonide are examples of __
What are the SE?

A

glucocorticoids
osteoporosis, skin breakdown, muscle wasting, cataracts, HTN
decrease risk with inhaled steroids

26
Q

What is the typical management of COPD?

A

combo of LABA and or anti-cholinergic (LAMA) plus inhaled cortiosteroid

Exacerbation with SABA with possible SAMA

27
Q

how do leukotrine inhibitors work?

A

inflammatory compounds act on specific aspects of inflammation mediate airway inflammation by decreasing migration of eosinophils and production on mucus and constriction in broncho-contrictive diseases

28
Q

Montelukast (singulaire) is an example of a __
What are the SE?

A

Leukotrine inhibitor
Liver toxicity, headaches, fatigue, n/v

29
Q

how does Xanthine derivatives work?

A

broncodilates and decreases function of inflammatory cells –> inflammatory response

30
Q

theophylline, aminophylline, and dypylline are examples of __
SE?

A

Xanthine derivatives
nervousness, tachycardia, trembling, insomnia - watch for toxicity

31
Q

How does CFTR modulators work?

A

CFTR keeps sweat, lung and digestive secretions thin and slippery
(mutations result in thick, viscous secretions in people with CF)

32
Q

Kalydeco (ivacaftor) and Orkambi (ivacaftor/lumacaftor) are examples of ___

A

CFTR Modulator therapies
