    Study Notes

    COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease)

    • Recurrent and reversible shortness of breath
    • Occurs when airways of the lungs become narrow due to bronchospasms, inflammation, edema, and production of viscous mucus

    Bronchodilators

    • Used to treat COPD and asthma
    • Types:
      • SABAs (Short-acting beta agonists)
        • Used as rescue inhalers for acute episodes
        • Examples: Albuterol (Ventolin, ProAir), Levalbuterol (Xopenex), Terbutaline (Brethine), Metproterenol (Alupent)
      • LABAs (Long-acting beta agonists)
        • Used as maintenance medications
        • Examples: Arformoterol (Brovana), Formoterol (Foradil, Perforomist), Salmeterol (Serevent)
    • Beta-adrenergic agonists
      • End with dilation of the lungs
      • Used during acute phase of asthmatic attacks
      • Quickly reduce airway constriction and restore normal airflow
      • Stimulate adrenergic receptors in the sympathetic nervous system
      • Types: Nonselective adrenergics, Nonselective beta-adrenergics, Selective beta-2 drugs

    Anticholinergics

    • MOA: bind to ACh receptors, preventing ACh binding
    • Result: prevention of bronchoconstriction and airway dilation
    • Examples: Ipratropium (Atrovent), Tiotropium (Spiriva), Aclidinium (Tudorza)

    Xanthine Derivatives

    • Only theophylline is used as a bronchodilator
    • Decreases cAMP levels, causing smooth muscle relaxation, bronchodilation, and increased airflow
    • Also known as Aminophylline
    • Indications: dilation of airways in asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema
    • Adverse effects: cardiac stimulation, nausea, vomiting, anorexia

    Corticosteroids

    • Used for chronic asthma
    • Do not relieve symptoms of acute asthma attacks
    • May be administered IV, orally, or inhaled
    • Indications: prevention of bronchospasms associated with chronic bronchitis or emphysema
    • Adverse effects: dry mouth, nasal congestion, heart palpitations, GI distress

    Antibiotics

    • Types:
      • Sulfonamides
      • Beta-Lactum
      • Macrolides
      • Tetracyclines
      • Aminoglycosides
      • Quinolones
      • Carbapenems
      • Monobactams
      • Cephalosporins
      • Antitubercular drugs

    Antitubercular Drugs

    • First-line drugs: Isoniazid (INH), Rifapentine, Ethambutol, Rifabutin, Pyrazinamide
    • Second-line drugs: Bedaquiline, Pretomanid, Capreomycin, Cycloserine, Levofloxacin, Ethionamide, Oflaxacin, Kanamycin, Para-aminosalicylate (PAS)
    • INH: primary drug used, metabolized through the liver, contraindicated for patients with liver disease

    NSAIDs

    • Used for pain relief, mild to moderate headaches, myalgia, neuralgia, arthralgia, treatment of gout and hyperuricemia
    • Types:
      • Acetic acid derivatives
      • Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors
      • Enolic acid derivatives
      • Propionic acid derivatives
      • Aspirin
    • Contraindications: known drug allergy, peptic ulcers, vitamin K deficiency

    Antigout

    • Allopurinol: prevents uric acid production, used to prevent acute tumor lysis syndrome
    • Febuxostat: prevents uric acid production
    • Colchicine: used for short-term management of gout
    • Probenecid: inhibits reabsorption of uric acid in the kidneys, increasing excretion of uric acid
