Anticholinergic Agents MOA
Compete with ACH at muscarinic receptor. Decrease vagal tone to airway which leads to bronchodilation.
Anticholinergic Uses
Inhalation only, treat acute asthma with a SABA because they have an additive effect.
What do you need to prescribe with an anticholinergic to treat acute asthma
SABA, additive effect
Corticosteroid MOA
Reduce markers of inflammation, decrease vascular congestion and cellular infiltration, improve beta 2 receptor sensitivity
