Q

stepwise approach for managing asthma

A

step 1 - SABA (albuterol, levalbuterol)
Step 2 - ICS *budesonide, fluticasone, triamcinolone)
Step 3- ICS + LABA (salmeterol,)
step 4- medium ICS + LABA
step 5 - high dose ICS + LABA

Q

how does levalbuterol work

A

by stimulating enzymes that convert adenosine triphosphate to cyclic-3, cAMP, which in turns relaxes bronchial smooth muscle
