This document summarizes three types of respiratory medications: bronchodilators, expectorants, and antitussives. Bronchodilators such as albuterol relax the smooth muscle around bronchial tubes to treat asthma and COPD. Expectorants like guaifenesin in Robitussin thin mucus to make coughs more productive. Antitussives including hydrocodone in Hycodan relieve the urge to cough by suppressing the cough reflex.

Ch 7 presentation
This document provides an overview of common respiratory drug prescriptions, including decongestants, corticosteroids, and bronchodilators. Decongestants like Afrin are used to reduce nasal congestion for 12 hours but can cause dependency with prolonged use. Corticosteroids such as Nasonex are used to reduce inflammation and prevent allergy symptoms by reducing swelling in nasal passages. Bronchodilators including Serevent are used to prevent asthma attacks and COPD by relaxing airway muscles to improve breathing, but should not be used during an active asthma attack.
lecture 11 dr andreas
This lecture discusses the evolution and mechanics of human breathing. Key points include:
1) Early animals did not need lungs, but fish swim bladders evolved into lungs over time.
2) Breathing involves the movement of gases, gas exchange in the lungs, and transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood.
3) The airways include the conducting zone which warms, humidifies, and filters air, and the respiratory zone in the alveoli where gas exchange occurs.
4) Inspiration is driven by contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, while expiration is passive but can be forced by additional muscle contraction.
Inhaled aerosol compatibility
Inhaled aerosol medication, that is given by respiratory therapist, need to be mixed with another medication for quicker time, less cost, or synergic effect.
Drug Prescriptions
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.
Lesson 10: Nutrition and Lung Disease
This document discusses the importance of nutrition for people with lung diseases like COPD. It explains that food provides the fuel needed for breathing and the body's metabolism. Maintaining a healthy weight and getting enough calories is important for breathing easier and fighting infections. Specific nutritional guidelines are provided, like limiting sodium, staying hydrated, and including high-fiber foods. Tips are given for overcoming issues like shortness of breath while eating and improving appetite. The conclusion emphasizes choosing a variety of foods to meet nutritional needs.
Drugs acting on the Respiratory System
This document discusses pharmacology of drugs acting on the respiratory system, including asthmatics, antitussives, and pentoxyverine. It provides details on the uses, dosages, mechanisms of action, side effects, and pharmacokinetics of salbutamol and pentoxyverine. Salbutamol is a bronchodilator used to treat asthma, while pentoxyverine is an antitussive cough suppressant commonly used for cough associated with illnesses like the common cold. Both drugs act in the central nervous system to suppress cough and relax airways, though they also have other mechanisms of action and potential side effects that require consideration.

Asthma Project
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.
