| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| we only use a spacer on this type of delivery | only with MDI medtered dose inhalers |
| 2 classes that are preventative bwo anti-inflammation MOA | glucocorticosteroids----non-steroidal anti-inflammatory |
| What class of drugs is effetive for both anti-inflammation (prevention) and acute attacks | Beta-2 agonists |
| what class is most effective for prevention | glucocorticosteroids - but not for acute |
| which class is safest, also where we generally start kids | non-steroidal anti-inflamms |
| what class is less effective than, but also used in conjunction with B-2 agonists for difficult to control patients | anticholinergics - they block normal bronchoCON resulting in bronchDIL |
| name 4 inhaled 'sone steroidals | beclomethasone --- flucticasone ---mometesone ---triamcinalone |
| beclomethasone | inhaled 'sone steroid anti-inflamm most effective prevention class |
| fluticasone | inhaled 'sone steroid anti-inflamm most effective prevention class |
| mometasone | inhaled 'sone steroid anti-inflamm most effective prevention class |
| triamcinolone | inhaled 'sone steroid anti-inflamm most effective prevention class |
| name 3 inhaled 'ide steroids | budenoside --- ciclenoside --- flunisolide |
| budenoside | inhaled 'ide steroid anti-inflamm most effective prevention class |
| ciclenoside | inhaled 'ide steroid anti-inflamm most effective prevention class |
| flunisolide | inhaled 'ide steroid anti-inflamm most effective prevention class |
| name 4 oral/systemic steroids-antiinflamm | prednisone --- prednisolone---methylpredisolone---dexamethasone |
| of the 4 oral/systemic steroids, which are also IV admin for most acute cases | methylprednisolone---dexamethasone |
| pt education for inhaled steroids | must gargle after use and use spacer to increase drug delivery and minimize SEs |

| salmeterol | inhaled/long acting/ Beta-2 agonist |
| formoterol | inhaled/long acting/ Beta-2 agonist |
| alformoterol | inhaled/long acting/ Beta-2 agonist |
| name 2 rarely used oral B-2 agonists acute/prevention | albuterol---terbutaline |
| albuterol - other admin | also oral, rarely used, B-2 agonist |
| terbutaline | oral, rarely lused B-2 agonist |
| Name 2 anticholinergics usually used for additive effect with B-2 agonist (MDI/nebulizer) | ipratropium --- tiotoprium |
| ipratropium | anticholinergic |
| titoproprium | longer-acting anticholinergic |
| name 1 methylxanthine with very narrow TI | theophylline -- also with CNS/CV SEs. rarely used |
| name 1 leukotriene modifier | montelukast |
