Study Notes

Inhaler Classification

  • Inhalers are classified into several categories based on their active ingredients and mechanisms of action.

Short-Acting Beta Agonists (SABAs)

  • SABAs are used for quick relief of asthma symptoms.
  • Examples of SABAs include:
    • Albuterol (ProAir HFA, ProAir Respiclick, Proventil HFA, Ventolin HFA)
    • Levalbuterol (Xopenex)
    • Metaprotenerol
    • Terbutaline
    • Isoprotenerol

Long-Acting Beta Agonists (LABAs)

  • LABAs are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
  • Examples of LABAs include:
    • Salmeterol xinafoate (serevent diskus)
    • Olodaterol (Striverdi respimat)
    • Arformoterol (Brovana)
    • Formoterol (Performist)

Inhaled Corticosteroids (ICS)

  • ICS are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
  • Examples of ICS include:
    • Beclomethasone dipropionate (QVAR)
    • Budesonide (pulmicort flexihaler)
    • Fluticasone (Flovent)
    • Mometasone (Asmanex)
    • Fluticasone furoate (Arnuity Ellipta)
    • Ciclesonide (Alvesco)
    • Flunisolide (Aerospan)

Combination Inhalers

  • Combination inhalers contain two or more active ingredients.
  • Examples of combination inhalers include:
    • ICS/LABA: Advair (fluticasone/salmeterol), Breo Ellipta (fluticasone/vilanterol), Dulera (mometasone/formoterol), Symbicort (budesonide/formoterol)
    • LAMA/LABA: Anoro Ellipta (umeclidinium/vilanterol), Stiolto Respimat (tiotropium/olodaterol)
    • SAMA/SABA: Combivent Respimat (ipratropium/albuterol)

Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonists (LAMAs)

  • LAMAs are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
  • Examples of LAMAs include:
    • Umeclidinium (Incruse Ellipta)
    • Tiotropium (Spiriva)
    • Glycopyrrolate (Seebri Neohaler)
    • Aclidinium (Tudorza Pressair)

Short-Acting Muscarinic Antagonists (SAMAs)

  • SAMAs are used for quick relief of asthma symptoms.
  • Example of SAMA: Ipratropium (Atrovent)

Xanthene Derivatives

  • Xanthene derivatives are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
  • Examples of xanthene derivatives include:
    • Aminophylline
    • Theophylline

Leukotriene Modifiers

  • Leukotriene modifiers are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
  • Examples of leukotriene modifiers include:
    • Montelukast
    • Zafirlukast
    • Zileuton

Anti-IgE Antibodies

  • Anti-IgE antibodies are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
  • Example of anti-IgE antibody: Omalizumab (Xolair)

Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) Inhibitors

  • PDE-4 inhibitors are used for long-term control of asthma symptoms.
  • Example of PDE-4 inhibitor: Roflumilast (Daliresp)
