Drug prescriptions
This presentation talks about three types of prescription Antibiotics, Bronchodilator and Mucolytic.
Drug prescriptions
The document discusses three common types of drug prescriptions: antibiotics, bronchodilators, and mucolytics. Antibiotics treat bacterial infections by killing bacteria but not viruses or fungi. Examples given are amoxicillin and ciprofloxacin. Bronchodilators relax bronchial muscles to open airways and treat asthma, examples listed are albuterol and ventolin. Mucolytics thin mucus making it easier to cough up, examples include N-acetylcysteine and mucomyst. Weaknesses and side effects of each type are also outlined.
Nasal decongestant Drugs
This document discusses nasal decongestants, including commonly used medications, dosages, indications, contraindications, and nursing responsibilities. It notes that nasal decongestants work by causing vasoconstriction to reduce nasal congestion. Common decongestants mentioned are phenylephrine, pseudoephedrine, ephedrine, naphazoline, oxymetazoline, and tetrahydrozoline. Indications include nasal congestion from rhinitis or sinusitis. Contraindications include hypertension, coronary artery disease, and glaucoma. Nurses should assess patients for medical history and monitor for decreased congestion after administration.
Antihistamines and nasal decongestants
Antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamine at receptor sites, helping to reduce symptoms of allergies like itching, while nasal decongestants work by constricting dilated blood vessels in the nasal passages to reduce congestion. However, overuse of decongestants can cause rebound congestion. Both antihistamines and decongestants only provide temporary relief for cold and allergy symptoms and are not a cure.

Common brand names include Otrivin. It is applied as a spray or drops directly into the nose and provides relief for up to 10 hours. While it effectively reduces nasal congestion, prolonged use can cause rebound congestion or damage to nasal tissues.Respiratory Pharmacology: Chapter 7 Presentation
This document summarizes various respiratory medications including expectorants like guaifenesin and Robitussin, antihistamines like fexofenadine and Allegra, and antitussives like hydrocodone and Hycodon. Expectorants make coughs less congested but do not treat the underlying cause. Antihistamines block the effects of histamine to prevent allergy symptoms. Antitussives relieve the urge to cough. Each drug is described with its active ingredients, brand names, uses, and potential side effects. References are also provided.
Decongestant .. by Dr Duryab Jamil
Decongestants are medications used to relieve nasal congestion by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages. The most common active ingredients are pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine. Intranasal corticosteroids and antihistamines can also help with congestion symptoms. Regular long-term use of decongestants should be avoided due to risk of side effects like loss of smell. They work by activating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. Common decongestant brands are listed. People with certain medical conditions should avoid decongestants due to risk of interactions or side effects.

allergic rhinitis.pdf
This document summarizes information about allergic rhinitis (hay fever). It discusses the causes and symptoms, which include sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. It describes the two main types - seasonal and perennial - and notes that symptoms last as long as exposure to the allergen continues. Treatment options covered include steroid and antihistamine nasal sprays, oral antihistamines like Claritin and Zyrtec, and potential drug interactions to be aware of with these medications. Food interactions are also summarized, such as avoiding grapefruit juice with fexofenadine.
OTC Medications - Cough
- Coughing is a protective reflex action that aims to clear irritants from the airway. Most coughs are caused by viral upper respiratory tract infections and will improve on their own within a few days.
- Coughs can be classified as productive (with sputum) or unproductive (dry). Productive coughs may indicate bacterial infection. Coughs lasting over 2 weeks should be referred to a doctor.
- Treatment depends on cough type but includes suppressants for dry coughs and expectorants for productive coughs. Demulcents soothe the throat. While evidence for efficacy is limited, cough remedies provide relief for many through placebo effect.
ANALGESICS
Analgesics are drugs that relieve pain by acting in the central nervous system or on peripheral pain mechanisms without altering consciousness. There are two main classes of analgesics: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen; and opioids like morphine, codeine, and fentanyl. NSAIDs work by blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which produces inflammatory mediators. Opioids act on opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. Both classes have a long history of medical use and come with risks like gastrointestinal irritation, dependence, and respiratory depression that require precautions. The document provides details on the mechanisms, pharmacokinetics,

allergicrhinitis-150814131204-lva1-app6892.pdf
Allergic rhinitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by an allergen, affecting 10-25% of the population. It is classified as intermittent or persistent based on duration of symptoms. Common symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, and rhinorrhea. Diagnosis involves skin prick tests and nasal smears. Treatment includes avoidance of allergens, oral antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, immunotherapy for refractory cases, and occasionally surgery for sinusitis or septal deviations. Prognosis is generally good with treatment and symptoms often improve with age.
Common cold
The common cold is caused by viruses that infect the nasal mucosa, causing inflammation and symptoms like nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and includes decongestants, antihistamines, expectorants, analgesics, and increasing fluid intake. While colds cannot be cured, zinc and vitamin C may help reduce severity and duration.
cough and antitussives moa adv uses contra
This document discusses cough physiology and antitussives. It begins by explaining the physiology of cough including the receptors, afferent and efferent pathways involved. It then classifies antitussives as expectorants, which promote secretion clearance, anti-tussives which suppress cough, and other drugs. Specific expectorants discussed include mucolytics like acetylcysteine and carbocisteine. Anti-tussives are classified as opioids like codeine, non-opioids like dextromethorphan, and antihistamines. The document cautions against fixed dose combinations of antitussives that are not rational.
Allergic rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is a common respiratory allergy caused by an immunologic reaction to allergens like dust, pollen, or animal dander. It affects 10-25% of the population. Diagnosis is based on history and symptoms of sneezing, congestion, and runny nose. Treatment includes allergen avoidance, antihistamines, nasal steroids, and immunotherapy. Nursing focuses on education about the condition, medications, and lifestyle modifications to reduce allergen exposure and control symptoms.
Allergic rhinitis
Insha Aleena's document discusses allergic rhinitis (hay fever), including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and complications. Common allergens that can trigger allergic rhinitis include pollen, dust mites, molds, insects, animal dander and house dust.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
