Q

Fluticasone risks

A

Candida is higher risk

- wash mouth with water

25
Q

Mometasome is what and clinical use

A

ICS

= maintenance asthma

26
Q

Mometasome contraindications

A

Milk hypersensitivity (lactose)

27
Q

Triamcinolone is what and clinical use

A

ICS
= maintenance asthma
= decrease oral steroids

28
Q

Triamcinolone contraindications and warning for risk

A

Acute asthma

Adrenal insufficiency death can happen if not gradual change to this drug from oral steroids

29
Q

Prednisone is what and clinical use

A
ORAL corticosteroids (OCS)
= WITH SABA to tx  asthma flareup 
= also used for endocrine and other anti inflammatory needed conditions
30
Q

Prednisone can cause

A

Hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal pathway insufficiency

31
Q

Prescribing pt with asthma what

A
  1. ICS everyday.
  2. OCS and SABA when needed
  3. If that doesn’t work add LABA + ICS every day
32
Q

Fomoterol is what and clinical use

A

LABA (used with ICS)

  1. Asthma control
  2. COPD
33
Q

Fomoterol risk

A

Asthma problems if not given with ICS

34
Q

Salmeterol is what and clinical use

A

LABA
= prevent exercise bronchospasm
= maintain COPD

35
Q

Indacaterol and Vilanterol is what and clinical use

A

LABA
= breathing problems from COPD
= bronchitis and emphysema from COPD

36
Q

Olodaterol is what and clinical use

A

LABA

= maintenance 1x day for COPD, chronic bronchitis, emphysema

37
Q

LABA only given with

A

ICS

38
Q

4 anticholinergic drugs used for COPD

A
  1. Atropine (shirt lasting)
  2. Ipratropium (maintenance)
  3. Tiotropium (long term maintenance)
  4. Aclidinium (long term maintenance)
39
Q

Atropine is what and clinical use

A

Anticholinergic

= X life threatening COPD or asthma attacks

40
Q

Atropine max dose

A

No more then 2-3mg

41
Q

Ipratropium is what and clinical use

A

Anticholinergic
=maintenance bronchospasm for COPD
= less systemic effect then atropine

42
Q

Tiotropium is what and clinical use

A

Anticholinergic

= 1x day maintenance bronchospasm from COPD

43
Q

Aclidinium is what and clinical use

A

Anticholinergic

= maintenance bronchospasm long term from COPD

44
Q

3 Methylxanhines (from plants and animals)

A
  1. Theophylline
  2. Theobromine (chocolate)
  3. Caffeine
    = asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema (COPD) tx
45
Q

Theophylline does what 2 things and contraindications

A
  1. Bronchodilate by increasing cAMP
  2. Inhibit bronchoconstriction
    = PUD, seizures, cardiac problems cautious use needed
46
Q

Non-hormone anti inflammatory

A

Leukotriene atagonists and Lipoxygenase inhibitors

47
Q

Zafirlukast and Montelukast are what and clinical use

A

Reversible antagonist of Cysteinyl LEUKOTRINE receptors ( CysLT1 receptors)
= bronchodilator not as effective as ICS (ORALLY)

48
Q

Zafirlukast and Montelukast and Pranlukast do what and advantage

A

BLOCK Leukotrienes binding to CysLT1 Rs
Anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator
= no glucocorticoid effects *

49
Q

Zileuton is what and clinical use

A

BLOCK 5-LO (lipoxygenase = making leukotrines that bind to CysLT1 R)

50
Q

Zafirlukast and Monelukast and Pranlukast and Zileuton are used when

A
  1. DM (prevent glucocorticoid effects)
  2. Prophylaxis in asthma
  3. Prevention of asthma prophylaxis (anti-inflammatory + bronchodilator)
    (Except monelukast can tx ongoing prophylaxis however can also tx allergies)
51
Q

Zafirlukast risk

A

Hepatotoxicity

52
Q

Zileuton used when and risks

A

Prophylaxis and chronic asthma

= hepatotoxic

53
Q

Omalizumab is what and clinical use

A

Monoclonal antibody drugs
= severe asthma persistent (with + skin test or no other drug works)
= chronic idiopathic urticaria (even after anti-H1 tx)

54
Q

Omalizumab works how

Asthma tx steps

A

SABA ALWAYS

ICS —> LABA —> LAMA

57

A

SABA ALWAYS

LAMA —> LABA —> ICS

58
