Study Notes
Xanthine Derivatives
- Mechanism of action: Increase cAMP levels, leading to bronchodilation and diuresis
- Not a xanthine derivative: Beta-agonists
- Not a therapeutic use: Treating hypertension
- Potential side effect: Diuretic effect, nausea, vomiting, and tremors
Beta-Agonists
- Therapeutic use in addition to relief of bronchospasm: Prevention of exercise-induced bronchospasm
- Not a therapeutic use of bronchodilators: Treating hypertension
- Main function: Stimulating beta-2 receptors, leading to bronchodilation and relaxation of airway smooth muscle
Other Medications
- Antileukotrienes (LRTAs): Mechanism of action: Inhibiting the production of leukotrienes, which cause bronchoconstriction
- Inhaled corticosteroids: Potential side effect: Oropharyngeal candidiasis
- Medications associated with trembling, particularly in the hands: Beta-agonists
- Medication used to prevent bronchoconstriction by binding to ACh receptors: Anticholinergics
