Respiratory drugs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| alveolar sacs (alveoli) | Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. |
| antihistamines | Medications that block the effects of histamine, reducing allergy symptoms. |
| antitussives | Medications that suppress coughing. |
| barrel chest | A rounded, bulging chest appearance often seen in individuals with chronic lung conditions. |
| bronchioles | Small air passages in the lungs that branch from the bronchi. |
| bronchodilators | Medications that relax and widen the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. |
| dry powder inhaler (DPI) | A device that delivers medication to the lungs in the form of a dry powder. |
| emphysema | A chronic lung condition characterized by damage to the alveolar sacs, leading to shortness of breath. |
| exhalation | The act of breathing out air from the lungs. |
| inhalation | The act of breathing in air into the lungs. |
| larynx | The voice box, located in the neck, that contains the vocal cords. |
| metered-dose inhaler (MDI) | A device that delivers a specific amount of medication to the lungs in the form of a spray. |
| ventilation | The process of moving air into and out of the lungs. |
| Antitussives drugs (common cold?) | Codeine, Hydrocodone/Homatropine Hydocan, Benzonatate Tessalon, Dextromethorphan Delsym Robitussin DM, Guaifenesin Mucinex, Acetylcysteine Acetylcystenine solution, |
| Allergy drugs | Allergy Drugs |
| Corticosteroids | beclomethasone Beconase AQ Qnasl, budesonide Rhinocort allergy, flunisolide Nasalide, fluticasone Flonase allergy relief, mometasone Nasonex, triamcinolone Nasacort allergy 24hr |
| Antihistamines | desloratadine Clarinex, fexofenadine Allegra allergy Allegra 24hr, levocetirizine Xyzal, olopatadine Patanase, |
| Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists | montelukast Singulair |
| Influenza | Influenza |
| Antihistamines | brompheniramine Dimetane®, dexchlorpheniramine Polaramine, dimenhydrinate Dramamine, diphenhydramine Benadryl, cetirizine Zyrtec, fexofenadine Allegra, loratadine Claritin, fexofenadine/pseudoephedrine Allegra D, loratadine/pseudoephedrine Claritin D |
| Allergic Rhinitis | Allergic rhinitis is a reaction to airborne (inhaled) allergens. Depending on the allergen, the resulting rhinitis and conjunctivitis may occur seasonally, in which case it is commonly referred to as hay fever |
| Influenza | Influenza, commonly called the flu, is a highly contagious viral respiratory infection. Three strains of a myxovirus cause influenza, but new strains evolve continually. |
| Pharyngitis | inflammation or infection of the pharynx, which may be acute or chronic. It is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Chronic pharyngitis can also be linked to syphilis or tuberculosis. |
| Laryngitis | inflammation of the larynx and vocal cords. It can be caused by acute or chronic viral or bacterial infections. The most common causes of laryngitis include the common cold, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and sinusitis |
| Atelectasis | a collapsed or airless state of pulmonary tissues. It is caused by a bronchial tree obstruction. This may include foreign bodies, mucus plugs, or bronchogenic cancer. |
| Pneumonia | infective lung inflammation, usually caused by viral or bacterial infections. Common causative organisms include pneumococci, staphylococci, streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae type B, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and various other Gram-negative organisms. |
| Asthma | difficulty in exhaling and by wheezing. Bronchial asthma, normally called simply asthma, is caused by smooth muscle spasms in the bronchi that reduce airflow. This condition causes inflammation and accumulation of mucus in the air passages |
| Chronic Bronchitis | nflammation of the bronchi caused by irritants or infection. A form of COPD, chronic bronchitis, hypersecretion of mucus and chronic productive cough lasts for three months of the year and occurs for at least two consecutive years |
| Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease | results from emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, or a combination of these disorders. COPD is the most common lung disease, and its incidence is increasing |
| Emphysema | It occurs when alveoli become damaged, leading to difficulty in breathing. The main causes include occupational fume or dust exposure, smoking, air pollution, and genetic factors that cause alpha 1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency |
| Tuberculosis | chronic bacterial infection that most commonly affects the lungs but can also affect the liver, spleen, bone marrow, lymph nodes, and meninges. caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which is transmitted by ingestion or inhalation of infected droplets |
| Tuberculosis drugs | ethambutol Myambutol, ethionamide Trecator, isoniazid (INH) Isoniazid, pyrazinamide (PZA) Pyrazinamide, rifabutin Mycobutin, rifampin Rifadin, rifapentine Priftin, streptomycin Streptomycin |
