Study Notes

Top Drugs 2025 - Study Notes

Inhaled Steroids: Used to reduce airway inflammation and increase beta-2 receptor sensitivity. Common side effects include throat irritation, cough, thrush, and headache. Serious side effects include vertigo, upper respiratory infections (potentially pneumonia), HPA axis suppression, and growth retardation (especially in children on high doses). Patients should rinse their mouths after use.
ICS/LABA Combinations: Combining inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) with long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs) can improve pulmonary function and control better than using them separately. ICS have anti-inflammatory, immune-suppressing, and antiproliferative effects. LABAs relax bronchial smooth muscle through beta-2 receptor activation. Using LABAs alone may increase the risk of asthma-related deaths and hospitalizations, especially in children and adolescents.
Short Acting Muscarinic Antagonists (SAMA): These anticholinergic agents work on M3 receptors, reducing secretions and causing bronchodilation. Ipratropium is a commonly used example in COPD and, off-label, for acute asthma. Common side effects include dry mouth and a bitter taste, along with anticholinergic effects.
Long Acting Muscarinic Antagonist (LAMA): Tiotropium is a long-acting anticholinergic that inhibits M3 receptors, resulting in bronchodilation. It's primarily used in COPD and, in some cases, for asthma. Common side effects include dry mouth and anticholinergic effects.
Short Acting Beta Agonists (SABA): Albuterol is a common rescue medication for asthma, activating beta-2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, causing relaxation and inhibiting mediator release. It's often given via inhalation, nebulizer, or orally. Common Side effects include tachycardia, tremors, nausea, and cough.

Systemic Glucocorticoids: These drugs suppress the inflammatory response, decrease inflammatory mediators, and reverse capillary permeability. Examples include Dexamethasone, Hydrocortisone, Methylprednisolone, Prednisone, and Prednisolone. Common side effects include increased appetite, weight gain, sodium/water retention, and hyperglycemia. Long-term use can lead to Cushing's syndrome, thinning skin, osteoporosis, and growth retardation in children. Tapering is important if treating more than 10-14 days.
