What are the adverse effects of glucocorticoids?

What are adverse effects of antihistamine?

In antihistamine there are paradoxical effects in who?

especially in children and older pts (contraindicated in children less than 2)

What are adverse effect pseudoephedrine

Most bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory medications can be given by inhalations with the benefit of what?

the benefits of directly reaching the site of action in the bronchioles, minimizing systemic effects, and faster relief of bronchoconstriction

What two ways can you give beta2-adrenergic agonists?

orally or by inhalation

For short-acting preparation, it is recommended to given when?

30 min before exercising to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm

The client needs to inhale the beta2-adrengric agonist medication before what?

before the glucocoritcoid medication

What is the reason for taking the beta2-adrenergic agonist medication before the glucocorticoid medication?

This allows the airways to dilate first, letting the second medication reach farther into the lungs during inhalation

Inhaler medications are dispensed in what forms?

pressurized metered dose inhaler, inhaled dry powder, a fine mist inhaler, or a nebulizer

Terol

bronchodilator

Tinde

allergies

Mechanism of action for Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators

reduce bone reabsorption and inhibit osteoclast activity and mimic

What are airflow disorders?

asthma and COPD diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema

What are the two main classifications of medications to help the airflow disorders?

bronchodilators and anti-inflammatory

Agonists stimulate what?

receptors

Beta2-adrenergic agonists stimulate the beta2 cell of the what?

adrenergic or sympathetic nervous system

What is the mechanism of action of expectorant

to reduce the surface tension of secretions, which thins thick mucus and make it easier to cough out of the lungs and drain out of the nose and sinuses

Beta 2 agonists work to relieve airflow disruptions (bronchospasms) through which mechanism of action?

bronchodilation

Beta2 adrenergic agonists are to relieve/prevent what?

bronchospasms of the bronchi and bronchioles of the lungs ... sympathetic system opens the air way and open wider.
