anti-a-adrenergic
adverse 2nd gen antihistamine
far less - decreased entry to CNS
guaifenesin
expectorant - thins resp secretion
N-acetylcysteine
mucolytic - loosen mucous plug CF - disrupt disulfide bonds
also used antidote acetaminophen OD
dextromethorphan
antagonist NMDA receptor - glutamate
antitussive
synthetic codeine analog - mild opioid effects
pseudoephedrine

phenylephrine
a-adrenergic agonist
nasal decongestant
adverse a-adrenergic agonists
HTN
bosentan
endothelin receptor antagonist
decreased pulmonary vascular resistance
sildenafil

tx allergic asthma
theophylline
methylxanthine
causes bronchodilation
- inhibit phosphodiesterase
- increased cAMP
asthma early and late response
early - bronchoconstriction
late - inflammation
adverse theophylline
cardiotoxic
neurotoxic
narrow therapeutic window
block action of adenosine
ACh and adenosine
promote bronchoconstriction
methacholine
M3 agonist
-used in bronchial challenge test - help diagnose asthma
