CNS depressant, also thought to have a drying effect on respiratory mucosa | Codeine |
Liquefies secretions and decreases thickness and stickiness of mucus | Expectorants |
irritating the gastric mucosa and stimulating respiratory tract secretions, thereby increasing respiratory fluid volumes and decreasing mucous viscosity | Guaifenesin |
Breaks apart glycoproteins in mucus | Acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) |
Hydrolyzing the DNA in sputum of CF patients and reduces the sputum viscoeleasticity | Dornase Alfa-DNase (Pulmozyme) |
Stimulation of Beta receptors Greatest effect in patients with asthma | Bronchodilators |
This should not be used inpatients with soybean and peanut allergies | Ipratropium |

Theophylline is in this drug class | Xanthine Derivatives |
Used for Respiratory distress | Bronchodilators |
Antidote for acetaminophen overdose | Mucolytic Agents |
