Good evenin my name is juan escobar i’m this evening i’m going to talk about this medication at bureau i choose this medication because i’m asthmatic i all the time i carry this medication with me and although i choose to talk about this medication because we live i mean i live in new york city and here we tend to suffer from a lot of weather changes and of course
We tend to suffer from asthma too this medication is a bronchodilator medication this medication selectively stimulates better drainage receptors of the lungs and vascular smooth muscles bronchodilation results from relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle which relieves bronchospasm and reduce air resistance this medication is usually absorbed through the respiratory
Tract but however dose is mostly swallow and absord through the gi tract to this medication does not cross the blood-brain barrier this medication is extensive extensively metabolized in the liver and this medication is rapidly excreted through the urine and pieces we can say that 70 percent of the medication is excreted reviewing and 10 to 30 percent through
Feces we have to be careful when we talk about this medication we have to educate our patient about the adverse reaction that this medication has we can talk that mostly or from adverse reactions are very common for example tremors dizziness insomnia headache weakness tachycardia palpitations hypertension we can also talk about nausea vomiting we can also talk
About muscle cramps cough wheezing and we can say or we can educate our patients to identify this side effects and if these side effects persist to talk to well we have to take or we have to talk about a special consideration for patient for specific type of space operations for example in pregnant patients we can talk about this medication that can cause cleft
Pale it and limb the facts however there is no consist a pattern of congenital abnormalities also we can say that in geriatric patients we have to give like lower doses because um geriatric patients are more sensitive to these type of medications we have to instruct our patients how to use this medication before prescribed it of course we have to educate them that
What they need to shake the medication before they use usually this medication is given through metal dose nebulizer it’s like a tooth so they can like absorb all the medication but i don’t have the tooth with me i usually use them as this i usually use the medication without there the method of nebulizer so what i usually do is shake the medication then i exhale
Then i sprayed the medication into my mouth i inhale and i retain and i stop the breathing and i retain the medication in my lungs for about 10 seconds i won’t do it here because i don’t want to like waste time in the video doing that and well that’s all the video that’s my education about these medications so thank you so much thank you for your your attention and harmlessly
