  3. Giant Papillary Conjuctivitis
30

  2. Oral
  3. Eye Drops
31
Q

What are the SE of Cromolyn Sodium?

32
Q

What is the drug to know for mucolytics?

A

Acetylcysteine

33
Q

What is the MOA for acetylcysteine/mucolytics?

A

contains a sulfahydral group which allows for the breakdown of glycoproteins in mucus, thereby liquefying them

34
Q

What is a SE of acetylcysteine?

A

bronchospams

caution with asthmatic patients

35
Q

What is a special use of acetylcysteine?

A

overdose on APAP - sulfahydral group binds to APAP preventing liver metabolizing and excretes in feces
