Asthma Medication: Inhaler vs Oral MedicationHafizah R
There are two main types of asthma medications: preventers and rescuers. Preventers are usually taken orally or via inhaler daily to control inflammation and prevent symptoms, while rescuers are used via inhaler as needed during attacks. Common preventer medications include corticosteroids which reduce inflammation and LABAs which relax airway muscles. Inhalers deliver medication directly to the lungs with fewer side effects than oral medications, so they are generally preferred for both prevention and relief of asthma symptoms.
Medications can have various types of effects on the body. Therapeutic effects are the intended, beneficial effects of a medication in treating a condition. Side effects are predictable secondary effects that are usually harmless or cause minor injury. Adverse effects are unintended, severe responses. Toxic effects occur from prolonged use or impaired metabolism. Idiosyncratic reactions unpredictably cause unusual responses. Allergic reactions develop from immunological sensitization. The most severe allergic reaction is anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical treatment. Understanding these different types of medication effects is important for safely prescribing and taking medications.

Bronchial Asthma is characterized by hyperresponsiveness of the airways and narrowing in response to stimuli. The document defines different types of asthma including extrinsic, intrinsic, occupational, exercise-induced, and drug-induced asthma. Diagnosis involves patient history, examination, spirometry, and challenge tests. Treatment includes avoidance of triggers, quick-relief bronchodilators, and long-term anti-inflammatory medications through a stepwise treatment approach based on asthma severity. The goals of treatment are to control symptoms, prevent exacerbations, and maintain lung function.
Respiratory agents are medicines used to treat respiratory diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and COPD. They are available as oral tablets, liquids, injections, or inhalations to directly deliver medicine to the lungs. Some inhalers contain multiple medicines.
The document then discusses different classes of drugs used for respiratory diseases, including bronchodilators, anti-inflammatory agents, antihistamines, leukotriene inhibitors, and anti-IgE drugs. It provides examples of medicines in each class and describes their mechanisms of action, uses, side effects and nursing considerations.
The document discusses medications used to treat respiratory system issues. It describes antihistamines which block histamine released during allergies and relieve symptoms like congestion. Bronchodilators relax bronchial tube muscles to treat asthma and come in short-acting forms for emergencies and long-acting daily use. Decongestants reduce stuffiness throughout the respiratory system by drying mucus rather than blocking histamine, and natural options include exercise and caffeine.

This document discusses anti-asthmatic drugs, including their classification, mechanisms of action, routes of administration, and examples. It begins by defining anti-asthmatic drugs as medicines that treat or prevent asthma attacks by opening up airways. It then classifies these drugs based on their mechanism of action (bronchodilation or anti-inflammatory) and route of administration (oral, inhaled, etc.). The document provides examples of different drug classes, their advantages and disadvantages, and precautions for specific drugs. It concludes with monitoring advice for certain anti-asthmatic medications.
The document discusses several classes of drugs used to treat respiratory conditions:
1) Antihistamines are used to treat allergic conditions by blocking histamine. First generation causes more side effects like sedation.
2) Antitussives suppress cough reflex. Benzonatate and codeine are examples.
3) Bronchodilators like xanthines and beta-agonists open constricted airways. Theophylline is a xanthine that stimulates respiration but needs monitoring to avoid toxicity.
4) Expectorants and mucolytics help clear secretions by loosening mucus. Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic.
5) Drugs for
The document discusses several classes of drugs used to treat respiratory conditions:
1) Antihistamines are used to treat allergies and inflammation by blocking histamine. First generation types cause more sedation.
2) Antitussives suppress cough reflexes. Benzonatate and codeine are examples.
3) Bronchodilators like albuterol and ipratropium open airways for COPD/asthma. Xanthines like theophylline also dilate airways and vessels.
4) Expectorants and mucolytics thin mucus to ease coughing up secretions. Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic.

This document discusses histamine and antihistamines. It provides details on histamine including its synthesis, storage, receptors, and role in allergic reactions and inflammation. It then describes first and second generation antihistamines that act as H1 receptor antagonists to relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis, urticaria, and other conditions by blocking the effects of histamine. The patient described has seasonal allergic rhinitis, so a second generation antihistamine with fewer side effects would be most suitable. First generation antihistamines that cause drowsiness should be avoided.
This document summarizes various respiratory drugs divided into two categories. The first treats minor issues like congestion and allergies. The second treats more serious conditions like asthma. It discusses specific drug classes including antitussives to suppress coughing, decongestants to relieve nasal congestion, antihistamines to reduce allergic symptoms, mucolytics and expectorants to thin mucus, bronchodilators for conditions like COPD, and anticholinergics to prevent bronchoconstriction. Each drug class is described in terms of its mechanism of action and common adverse effects.
Asthma is a chronic condition that affects the airways in the lungs. When asthma occurs, the airways become inflamed and swollen, making them very sensitive and causing the muscles around the airways to tighten. This causes symptoms like wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and trouble breathing. There are different levels of asthma severity ranging from mild to severe based on symptoms. Medications can help control asthma symptoms and prevent attacks. It is important for dental patients with asthma to take their medications as prescribed and for dental staff to take steps to minimize triggers.
This document discusses self-management of asthma through peak flow monitoring. It begins by defining asthma and highlighting its chronic nature. It then discusses using a peak flow meter to monitor lung function and identify early signs of worsening asthma. By dividing readings into green, yellow, and red zones on a peak flow chart, patients can tailor their medication based on the zone to help control symptoms and prevent attacks. Regular monitoring using a peak flow meter and adherence to the treatment plan it outlines allows patients to better self-manage their asthma.
The document discusses different types of medicines and how they work. It describes how medicines are classified and can treat or prevent illness in four main categories: medicines that prevent disease like vaccines; medicines that fight pathogens like antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals; medicines that relieve pain and symptoms like analgesics; and medicines that manage chronic conditions and regulate body systems. It also covers topics like how medicines are taken, potential reactions and interactions, and key terms.
1) Natural astaxanthin is a potent anti-inflammatory that works through multiple mechanisms to gently reduce various inflammatory markers, unlike drugs that intensely target a single marker.
2) Research shows astaxanthin reduces inflammation similarly to prescription drugs, but without any side effects, though it takes longer (2-8 weeks) to work.
3) Consumer surveys found 84% reported positive results from astaxanthin for joint/muscle pain, with 75% saying it works similarly to OTC drugs and 64% similarly to prescription anti-inflammatories.
This document classifies drugs based on their pharmacological effect, drug action, chemical structure, and molecular targets. Drugs are classified into categories like analgesics, antipyretics, antihistamines, antibiotics, antiseptics, anaesthetics, anticoagulants, antacids, anticonvulsants, bronchodilators, antiemetics, diuretics, antidepressants, chemotherapy drugs, antipsychotics, anti-diabetics, antitussives, corticosteroids, mydriatics, and myotics. Each category is defined along with examples of common drugs that fall into that classification.
The document discusses management strategies for acute and subacute pain. It compares analgesic options and outlines the World Health Organization's three-step "pain ladder" approach. The pain ladder involves scheduled administration of medications ranging from non-steroidal anti-inflammatories to weak opioids like tramadol and strong opioids if needed. Proper use of analgesics requires considering factors like compliance, side effects, and risk of dependence.
This patient presents with an acute exacerbation of asthma. She has a history of asthma and is experiencing tachypnea, shortness of breath, wheezing, and her symptoms are not relieved by her usual medications. On examination, she has tachycardia, tachypnea, use of accessory muscles, decreased breath sounds, and wheezing. Her oxygen saturation is low. Treatment should focus on aggressive use of bronchodilators and systemic corticosteroids to reverse the exacerbation. Close monitoring is needed given the severity of the presentation.
This document summarizes different classes of drugs used to treat respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD. It discusses bronchodilators including xanthine derivatives, beta agonists, and anticholinergics. It also covers anti-leukotrienes, corticosteroids, and mast cell stabilizers. For each class, it describes the mechanism of action, effects, uses, and important nursing considerations.
