List the drugs that are anticholinergics:
- Atropine

- CNS
- ?
- NO
There are 5 muscarinic receptor subtypes what is the location, clinical effects, and is/are there selective drugs for this receptor for M5:
- CNS

- NO
What is the mechanism of action for Atropine?
-Antagonizes ACh effects on airway smooth muscle in large and mmedium sized airways
T/F: Atropine effects airwasys that respond to vagal stimulation.
TRUE
What would you see in lung capacity if using atropine:
- Decreases in airway resistance
- Increase in dead space
T/F: Ipratropium is effective in treating bronchospasm due to the beta AGONIST.
FALSE (…due to the beta antagonist)
Ipratropium has an onset of (_______ minutes) and less effective than beta agonist in treating ______ ________.
- 30 to 90
- bronchial asthma
Ipratropium is more effective than beta agonist in ____ ____ or ________.
- chronic bronchitis
- emphysema
T/F: Ipratropium is highly soluble and results in systematic effect.
FASLE (Limited absorption results in prolonged local site effect
Atropine may have paradoxical bronchospasm due to what muscarinic receptor subtype?
M2
What is tiotropium?
Spiriva
Tiotropium mechanism of action is:
- it blocks the muscarinic receptor subtypes M1 and M3
Tiotropium would cause what reaction in the lungs?
- Facilitates bronchodilation
- Reduces mucous secretion
Tiotropium would be use in the treatment of:
-bronchospasm associated with COPD including chronic bronchitis and emphysema
Tiotropium is a long term or short term drug?
Long term
What is aclidinium?
Tudorza
What is aclidinium similar too?
tiotropium (Spiriva)
Two differences about aclidinium vs. Tiotropium.
- Given twice daily
- Faster onset to peak (2 days vs. 7 days)
What adrenergic agents are beta agonist:
- Ephedrine
- Isoproterenol
- Albuterol
- Terbutaline
Ephedrine is an _______ acting synthetic noncatecholamine that stmulates ____ and ___ receptors.
- indirect
- alpha
- beta
What receptor does ephedrine work on to cause broncho-dilatation:
Beta 2
Ephedrine can be used as a ____ oral medication to treat bronchial asthma.
chronic
Isoproterenol act at which adrenergic receptor(s):
- Beta 1
- Beta 2
What is unique about a beta 2 agonist:
- Relax bronchial smooth muscle
- Lack stimulating effects on the heart
- Structure makes them resistant to COMT (COMT break down catecholemines except synthetic are broken down only by MAO)
What are the uses of a beta 2 agonist:
- Preferred treatment for acute episodes of asthma
- Prevention of exercise induced asthma
- Improve airflow and exercise toerance in patient with COPD
- Tocolytic to stop uterine contractions
An intermediate class of a beta 2 agonist would last for:
-3 to 6 hours
An long acting class of a beta 2 agonist would last for:
- greater 12 hours
What is a long acting beta 2 agonist:
-Salmeterol (>12 hours)
What is a intermediate acting beta 2 agonist:
- Albuterol
- metaproterenol
- Terbutaline
How much inhalation medication is delivered to the lung with inhalation technique.
-12%
What are the side effects of a beta 2 agonist:
- Tremor
- Tachycardia
- Metabolic Response
Where do the tremors come from on when using a beta 2 agonist?
-Stimulation of the beta 2 receptors on skeletal muscle
Where does the tachycardia come from on when using a beta 2 agonist
- Direct stimulation of receptors on the heart
- REFLEX TACHYCARDIA due to Beta2 induced vasodilitation
What type of metabolic response would be seen with a beta 2 atagonist.
- Hyperglycemia
- Hypokalemia
- Hypomagnesemia
What is the preferred beta 2 agonist for bronchospasm?
Albuterol
