high concentrations of what drugs cause cardiac arrhythmias and seizures
Theophylline
oropharyngeal candidiasis
short or long term adverse effect
inhaled corticosteroids is short term effect,
long term can stunt growth, osteoporosis, cataracts(comparatively the systemic long term effects are cushings)
Rare side effects include reversible dermatitis, myositis, or gastroenteritis, pulmonary infiltration with eosinophilia and anaphylaxis.
cromylin and nedocromylin release inhibitors of mast cells
Used in the management of NSAID- exacerbated respiratory disease (NERD)
Leukotriene-Modifying Agents
adverse effects of the Leukotriene-Modifying Agents
zlieuten = hepatotoxicty
the Lukasts=neuropsychiatric events: agitation, aggressive behavior, anxiety, depression, hallucinations, insomnia, somnambulism, suicidal thoughts and behavior (including suicide).
may produce anaphylactic reactions
Omalizumab
Breaks disulfide linkages in mucus and lowers viscosity
N-Acetylcysteine (mucolytic agent used for COPD)
what antibiotics are used for COPD pts to reduce exaccerbations
Long-term azithromycin and erythromycin reduces exacerbations.
most effective single-agent maintenance therapy for allergic rhinitis.
Glucocorticoid nasal sprays -used when allergic rhinitis is effecting quality of life
antihistamine not benefitial for congestions, more for itching ad sneezing (second gen H1x = Cetrizine, Fexofenadine, Loratadine)
-Nosebleed
-Nasal septal perforation
-Nasopharyngeal candidiasis
Glucocorticoid nasal spray
Suppress cough reflex via a direct action on the
cough center in the medulla of the brain.
AE?
Codeine and Dextromethorphan(better)
AE: constipation and drowsy
those agents that kill sexual stages and prevent transmission to mosquitoes (malaria)
gametocyte(the infective form that is aquired by the vector in a blood meal from host
-primaquine
queries with chloroquine
-dont give iV bc causes hypotension and cardiac arrest
-avoid in G6PD, psoriasis, and porphyria
-causes visual problems
what AE is different of hydroxychloroquine from chloroquine
Pruritus
-does not have the hypotension nd cardiac arrest problem
Blackwater fever
hemolysis from quinidine
quinidine AE
pancytopenia, uterine contractions, Cinchonism, hemolysis
doxycycline ae
Photosensitivity
Teeth discoloration
Growth stunting
Pseudomembranous colitis
Clindamycin
mefloquine ae
-who should avoid this drug
Neuropsychiatric: dizziness, loss of balance, ringing in the ears, anxiety, depression, hallucinations
Avoided in patients with epilepsy, psychiatric disorders,cardiac arrhythmias
last resort tx for severe malaria
mefloquine
Disrupts mitochondrial electron transport
Atovaquone
Tetracycline antibiotic: protein synthesis inhibitor by binding to 30s ribosome of plasmodium ribosome
doxycycline
Protein synthesis inhibitor binds to the 50S ribosome subunit in susceptible
microorganisms and blocks translocation
clindamycin
Binds to iron, breaking down peroxide bridges leading to generation of free radicals that damage parasite protein
Artemisinin
