Opioids adverse effect
Limits their use
(Respiratory depression, addiction)
It depresses cough but has no narcotic analgesic or addiction and CNS depression
Noscapine (narcotine)
(From non-opioids)
Centrally acting antitussive agent
Antitussive action lasts for 6 hours, more than codein
As effective as codein
No analgesic properties, does not cause constipation, addiction
Dextromethorphan
(From non-opioids)
Non-opioid agent whose peripheral Antitussive action
Exerts its antitussive effect though an inhibitory action at the level of the airway sensory nerves
Levodropropizine
Possesses anti-inflammatory activity which causes a reduction in the irritation of the nervous receptors of the respiratory tract
Bronchodilator, spasmolitic
Oxalamine
Classic mucolytics
N-acetyl L-cysteine
Carbocisteine
Erdostine
Peptide mucolytics
Dornase alfa
Breaks disulfide bonds in mucin
Lower the viscosity of sputum
Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects
Beneficial effect in COPD
N-acetyl L-cysteine
It reduces the viscosity of mucus by breaking down the overly polymerized DNA and actin filaments
It is administered by inhalation and has little systemic absorption
Improve lung function in the treatment of patients with cystic fibrosis
Dornase Alpha (rhDNaz)
H1 receptor antagonist effect
Anticholinergic effect
Sedation
Second generation antihistamines
- less autonomic effect
Less sedative effect
Second generation antihistamines have little or no sedative effect due to
Decreased distribution to CNS
Second generation antihistamines
-longer acting
-less distribution to CNS, less sedative effect
-administered only ORALLY
Antihistamines clinical uses
-Allergic reactions
*allergic rhinitis
*allergic conjunctivitis
*urticaria, insect bite
*atopic dermatitis
Antihistamines side effects
Sedation
Antimuscarinic effect (urinary retention, blurred vision, dry mouth)
The agents that constrict dilated blood vessels in the nasal mucosa by stimulating alpha-adrenergic nerve receptors in vascular smooth muscle
Nasal decongestant
Decongestant
Pseudoephedrine
These agents used with great caution in patients with hypertension and in men with prostatic enlargement
, and they are contraindicated in patients who are taking MAO inhibitors
Bronchodilators
Beta-2 receptor agonists
Methylxanthines (teophylline)

Beta-2 agonists adverse effects
Tremor
Tachycardia and palpitation
Hypopotassemia!!!
Ventilation/perfusion imbalance

Oldest
Obsoleted by beta-2 agonists and inhalation corticosteroids
Still may be useful for severe asthma or COPD as an additional option
