List Effects of using BETA-2. Adrenergic Agonsists
Bronchodilation
Vasodilation
Stimulation of NaK ATPase
Release of Glucagon

Tolerance
Withdrawl
Patient on a non-selective BETA agonists can
target BETA-1
What medication is the prototype for inhaled BETA-2
Albuterol (little effect on heart)
Onset 5-10min
PO onset 15-30min
Duration 4-6 hours
Dose (acute) 4-8 puffs (90mcg/puff)
Racemic EPI can relieve _______ and _________
Airway Obstruction & Edema
What is the dose of Racemic EPI?
0.5mL of 2.25% IN 4mL NS
Muscarinic Antagonist (Anticholinergics) MOA
stops binding of ACh to M3 receptors, stops Gq, inactivates phospholipase C and IP3, causing bronchodilation

Dry Mouth
Blurred Vision
Mydriasis
GI upset
Nausea
Urinary retention
Tremors
Common M3 antagonist drugs
Ipratropium
Tiotropium
Atropine
Glycopyrrolate
Which M3 antagonist medication is short acting?
Ipratropium- good for COPD
Which M3 antagonist medication is long acting?
Tiotropium
Atropine can cross the ________and cause CNS effects
Blood Brain Barrier
What medication is a Methylhxanthine?
Theophylline
How do Methylxanthines work (MOA)?
Inhibit Phosphodiesterase, which stops the breakdown of cAMP, causing relaxation
Methylxanthines also decrease______&_____
Eosinophils & Neutrophils
Methylxanthines can also block________, which ________release of _______, _______, and ________
Adenosine; decreases; ACh; histamine; leukotrienes
What are the SIDE EFFECTS of using Methylzanthines?
GERD
GI upset
N/V
Restlessness
SEIZURES
ARRHYTHMIAS
DEATH
What is the toxic level of Methylxanthines (Theophylline)
> 20mcg/mL
MOA of Corticosteroids
Alter genetic expression of pro-inflammatory mediators & inflammatory gene products
(effects DNA transcription in ability to form certain proteins)
List of Corticosteroids
Fluticasone
Mometasone
Methylprednisolone
*Prednisone
Hydrocortisone
Fluticasone/Salmeterol
Budesonside/Formoterol
What are some SIDE EFFECTS of Corticosteroids?
Infection
HYPERglycemia
HTN
Adrenal Suppression
Psychosis
Ulcers
Osteoporosis
MOA for Leukotriene Modifiers
They block the conversion of Arachidonic Acid to leukotriene
Block leukotriene receptors
