SABA-Short acting beta2 adrenergic antagonists-Bronc dilators
Anticholenergics-Bronchodilators
Cortico Steroids- Antiinflammatorys
What are the long acting meds for asthma
Mast cell stabilizers-Antiinflammatory
Leukotriene modifiers-Antiinflammatory
Methylxanthines-Bronchodilators
Monoclonal antibodies-Biologic therapy
Where are corticosteroids secreted from? and what kinds are there?
Adrenal gland
mineral- Aldosterone -retention of na and water
Gluco- stress metab
cortisol
gonad-sex hormones
Glucosteroids effects 6
Suppress immune response, promote broncho dilation sim, increase BG, break down lipids for energy. break down bones, stabilize mast cells inhibit inflam mediators.
steroids 4AE
Peptic ulcer, inhibit insulin,
long term osteoporosis,
impaired wound healing
dosing for steroids
low and gradually increase
alternate- intermediate acting-prevent adrenal atrophy
attempt to admin locally to reduce systemically
hydrocortisone kind of steroid and MA
corticosteroid
MA-Replaces glucocorticosteroids, block inflam, and allergic reactions
AE-Long term large doses can make cushings
What are the drug interactions for steroids? 1
Potassium wasting diuretics-increases risk of hypok
