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)
