Good afternoon my name is mike when i ran at the va hospital i’m just going to do a quick little brief on a comparative trash to drugs here i’m going to use the bronchodilator which is albuterol and i’m gonna do a and held steroid fluticasone so the first thing i want to talk about real quick is the bronchodilator albuterol the mode of action of the buter all
Is what it does it dilates the airways is the primary mode of action with albuterol and the buildup of mucus bronchospasms and swelling of airways contribute to the shortness of breath in the lungs so the albuterol kind of alleviates those symptoms signs and symptoms health information of the airways some of the drug interactions with our beauty raw tricyclic
Antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors should not be given with albuterol because of the interactions that would take place we see what happens with them because they increase the blood pressure and they increase increase the heart rate so be counterproductive to do those to give the tube because of the side effects stimulant medications should not
Be given well they shouldn’t be given with caution without butyl because like i just said about the heart rate and the blood pressure elevates also beta-blockers they reduced the effect of bronchodilator so you want to use beta blockers with caution also and loop that loop diuretics also given without beautiful can cause low potassium levels so caution should
Be given when prescribing the two medications together the efficacy of albuterol it’s very very efficient in leaving and narrowing of the airways and providing better oxygenation for the the ability to move air in and out of the lungs so to every the efficacy is where every pill with our butyl all it’s been used for a long time we use it a lot of my unit people
With copd and asthma basically what it does moves arrant in and out of the lungs by allowing the airways to relax and the spasms to be less as far as less exacerbations how safe is it generally albuterol is very safe medication but like with all medications there’s some side effects you know runny nose headache dizziness sore throat increased heart rate like i
Talked about earlier chest pain and palpitations could be some of the side effects that because without butyl the cost of albuterol generally about sixty dollars give or take it depends on your copay with your insurance and expected outcomes one of the expected outcomes should be the patient oxygenate oxygenation status is optimal and the pulmonary functioning and
Breathing should be optimal also the rest of the patient’s respiratory status is symptom free of exacerbations and well controlled the patient will be educated on the sign symptoms and safety concerns without butyl so patient education is very important without be at all now compare an albuterol with anna held steroid so now we’ll talk about fluticasone real quick
Fluticasone is inhaled steroid the mode of action with fatique ozone it’s the antium what it does it the anti-inflammatory actions of a corticosteroid like phuket ozone it’s thought to believed to inhibit the inhibit in i’m sorry excuse me they would thought to involve in inhibition of the site of cytosolic phosphatase a2 inhibitors and it’s a which controls the
Balance biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes so the mode of action sounds a little bit difficult but not really just basically it’s it decreases to inflammation inside the lungs and it helps the breathing so helps a lot with the breathing it brings down the inflammation you could breathe a lot easier some of the
Drug interactions with fluticasone certain medications such as ritonavir nor veer and catechin ketoconazole will increase flu cod ozone levels in the body by delaying it’s a metabolism and elimination in the body so it actually increase the levels of the food tickers own if you give those medications with the tikar zone so it’s not so network they’re not recommended
The efficacy lucado zone is a corticosteroid the stimulates receptors in the body which helps to produce an anti-inflammatory effect or response so it’s very effective in the lungs especially sometimes used with the albuterol to get it’s a really synergistic effect and really helps with the breathing and the outcomes the safety generally from tycho’s own is as
Safe medication but with all medications or side effects such as cough vomiting that could be some nausea possible nosebleeds sore throat and burning of the nasal area or nasal inside the news area hanson burdening the cost generally about sixty dollars almost the same price as albuterol but once again most insurance companies you’ll just pay general copay some
Of the expected outcomes you know davis good leads to be able to breathe better and have better oxygenation status okay thank you very much
