Q

beta-2 adrenergic agonists (naming, MOA, indication, types, SE, admin, special considerations)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory?

A

naming: “-terol”
MOA: relaxes bronchial smooth muscle, results in bronchodilation (sympathomimetic)
indication: bronchoconstriction
type: SABA (short-acting), LABA (long-acting)
SE: tachycardia, tremors, palpitations, angina
admin: start to inhale and activate inhaler; hold the breath for 10 seconds; wait one minute before second inhalation
special considerations: tolerance may develop; becomes systemic if used too often (SABA)

16
Q

aminophylline (class, admin considerations)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory

A

class: methylxanthine IV
admin considerations: SLOW

bronchodilator

17
Q

theophylline (class, safety considerations)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory

A

class: oral methylxanthine
safety considerations: narrow margin of safety, therapeutic levels (10-20 mcg/mL), NO SMOKING, half life varies 2-15H, drug-drug interactions

bronchodilator

18
Q

glucocorticoid, general (prototype, how it’s prescribed)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory

A

prototype: beclomethasone
prescribed: sometimes in combo drugs

anti-inflammatory

19
Q

glucocorticoid, inhaled (indication, SE, special considerations)

A

indication: PREVENTION
SE: adrenal suppression, candidiasis, dysphonia (hoarseness)
special considerations: should be last inhaler, then swish and spit (to avoid candidiasis), may take 1-4 weeks for full effect, little to no systemic effects

**no proto provided

20
Q

glucocorticoid, oral/IV (prototype for each, indication, special considerations)

A

oral proto: prednisone
IV proto: methylprednisolone (Dr. K’s notes says methylpredisone = generic. incorrect but perhaps know this)
indication: acute bronchoconstriction, acute asthma (methylprednisolone then oral therapy at home after discharge)
special considerations: to transition from oral to inhaled… have to be on both and can take a few weeks (renal suppression issue)

21
Q

leukotriene modifiers (prototype, MOA, indication, admin, onset, SE, special considerations)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory

A

prototype: montelukast
MOA: modifies action of leukotrienes (reduces inflammation)
indication: prophylaxis of chronic asthma
admin: PO daily
onset: maximal effects within 24H of first dose
SE: neuropsychiatric effects
special considerations: not effective for acute attacks

anti-inflammatory

22
Q

what do leukotrienes do?

A

a part of the inflammatory response; result in edema, inflammation, bronchoconstriction

23
Q

mast cell stabilizers (prototype, MOA, indication)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory?

A

proto: cromolyn
MOA: inhibits mast cells from releasing histamine and other chemical mediators of inflammation
indication: prevent asthma attacks; ALSO to prevent allergic rhinitis

anti-inflammatory

24
Q

cromolyn (prototype for what?, admin, SE, special consideration)

A

proto of: mast cell stabilizer
admin: nebulizer or inhaler
SE: cough and bronchospasm
special consideration: rebound bronchospasm if stopped abruptly

25
Q

monoclonal antibody (prototype, MOA, indication, admin, SE, special considerations)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory?

A

prototype: omalizumab
MOA: binds to IgE
indication: severe, persistent asthma; not controlled by high dose steroids
admin: SQ Q2-4 weeks
SE: viral infections, URI, sinusitis, headache, injection site response, ANAPHYLAXIS
special considerations: super duper $$$

anti-inflammatory

26
Q

PDE4/Phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitor (prototype, MOA, indication, SE)

bronchodilator or anti-inflammatory

A

prototype: roflumilast
MOA: blocks action of enzyme PDE4 (breaks down cAMP resulting in decreased release of inflammatory mediators)
indication: severe COPD with chronic bronchitis

34
Q

antitussives: opioid (proto, special considerations)
