Q

Pseudoephedrine

Brand name:

Drug Class

Schedule

Uses:

Preganancy Category

A

Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride/sulphate

Sudafed

Drug Class: α->>and β-adrenergic receptor agonist

Schedule: OTC

Uses: decongestant

Preganancy Category: C

22
Q

Pseudoephedrine

MOA

A

Pseudoephedrine

MOA: sympathomimetic that directly stimulates α-adrenergic>> and β-adrenergic receptors in the mucosa of respiratory tract producing vasoconstriction (α-adrenergic), and relaxing bronchial smooth muscle (β-adrenergic)

-produces vasoconstriction of respiratory tract mucosa; shrinks nasal mucous membranes; reduces edema and nasla cogestion

23

26
Q

Oxymetazoline (Oxymetazoline hydrochloride )

Brand name:

Drug Class

Schedule

Uses:

Preganancy Category

A

Brand name: Afrin

Drug Class: α-adrenergic receptor agonist, sympathomimetic amine
