Pharmacology chapter 10 Pulmonary Drugs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Many pulmonary medications are designed to make breathing easier by causing | bronchodilation and reducing inflammation |
| Common respiratory diseases that respond to bronchodilators include: | 1. Asthma. 2. Emphysema. 3. Chronic bronchitis. |
| Asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis are COPDs which stands for | Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease |
| Many pulmonary medications are administered by inhalation via | MDI(Metered Dose Inhalers) |
| Administration of MDIs is measured in | puffs. |
| Common fast acting (short) bronchodilators include: | 1.albuterol AKA Proventil or Ventolin or ProAir 2.aminophylline (phylline= bronchodilator) 3.ephedrine 4.epinephrine AKA Primatene Mist 5.Alupent 6.Maxair 7.terbutaline AKA Brethine. 8.theophylline ("theo" = bronchdilator)AKA Elixophyllin or Theo-24. |
| Elixophyllin or Theo-24 (theophylline) may require TDM (therapeutic drug monitoring) because of a | narrow TI(therapeutic index)(not much room before it reaches the toxic level) |
| Common long acting bronchodilators include: | 9. Atrovent. 10. Serevent. 11. Dulera. |
| Long acting bronchodilators should never be used alone in the treatment of asthma and should be used for the | shortest duration of time. |
| Long duration is associated with an increased risk of | severe worsening of asthma symptoms. |
| Bronchodilator toxicity can occur if combined with | caffeine (coffee, tea, chocolate) |
| Leukotriene blockers reduce allergy related asthma and include | Singulair. |
| Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (SAIDs) designed to reduce the incidence of asthma include: | 1. Asmanex. 2. Pulmicort (cort=cortiosteroid) 3. Azmacort. 4. Flovent. |
| Medications containing a bronchodilator and SAID used to treat asthma include: | 1. Symbicort. 2. Advair. 3. Combivent. |
| albuterol AKA | Proventil or Ventolin or ProAir |
| epinephrine is AKA | Primatene Mist |
| terbutaline is AKA | Brethine |
| theophylline("theo") is AKA | Elixophyllin or Theo-24 |
| A MDI medication to treat asthma and emphysema is | Spiriva. |
| A medication administered b.i.d.(twice a day) via nebulizer for the treatment of chronic bronchitis and emphysema is | Brovana. |
| Intradermal skin tests used to detect TB(turberculosis) exposure include: | 1. PPD. 2. Mantoux. 3. Tine. |
| Antituberculine (TB-turberculosis) medications include: | 1. INH AKA isoniazid. 2. Rifadin AKA rifampin. 3. Myambutol AKA ethambutol. |
| INH is AKA | isoniazid |
| Rifadin is AKA | rifampin |
| Myambutol is AKA | ethambutol |
| MDRTB stands for | Multi Drug Resistant TurBerculosis |
| Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) includes: | 1. Habitrol (patch). 2. Nicoderm (patch) 3. Nicorette. 4. Nicotrol. |
| NTP stands for | nicotine transdermal patch |
| Non-nicotine smoking cessation drugs include: | 1. clonidine AKA Catapres. 2. Zyban (ban on smoking). 3. Chantix. |
| Zyban (Wellbutrin) or Chantix can cause serious neuropsychiatric symptoms such as | changes in behavior, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts and behavior, and attempted suicide. |
| Mucolytics are used to | break up mucus in the lungs for easier expectoration(cough up) |
| A common mucolytic is | Mucomyst. |
| Mucomyst(inhale) (Acetadote - drink) is also used as an | APAP(acetaminophen) antagonist (deactivate/turn off the drug). |
| A common trade name for acetaminophen is | Tylenol. |
| Pneumovax is a | prophylaxis (preventive) for streptococcal pneumonia. |
