-
If the inhaled drug is not removed by mucociliary action or locally inactivated, the drug may be ______, and this increases the systemic availability of the drug.
Absorbed
-
is a drug or chemical that binds to a corresponding receptor (affinity) and initiates a cellular effect or response.
Agonist
-
Is a drug or chemical that is able to bind to a receptor (affinity) but causes nor response.
Antagonist
-
inhibits or blocks the agonist at the receptor?
Antagonist
-
Agonists are devided further into to catagories
full and partial agonists
-
is a durg that gives a higher maximal responce.
Full Agonist
-
Has less efficacy than a full agonist
Partial
-
Direct chemical interaction between drug and biologic mediator, which inactivates the drug. An example is chelation of toxic metals by a chelating agent
Chemical anatgonism
-
Can occur when two drugs each produce an effect, and the two effects cancel each other. For example, methacholine can stimulate parasympathetic (muscarinic) receptors in the airways, causing bronchoconstriction; epinephrine can stimulate �2 receptors in the airways, causing bronchodilation.
Functional antagonism
-
Occurs when a drug has affinity for a receptor but no efficacy and at the same time blocks the active agonist from binding to and stimulating the receptor. For example, fexofenadine is a competitive antagonist to histamine on specific receptors (H1) on bronchial smooth muscle and the nasopharynx and is used to treat allergies to pollens.
Competitive antagonism
-
Occurs when two drugs act on a target organ by different mechanisms of action, and the effect of the drug pair is greater than the sum of the separate effects of the drugs.
Synergism
-
Occurs when two drugs act on the same receptors, and the combined effect is the simple linear sum of the effects of the two drugs, up to a maximal effect.
Additivity
-
A special case of synergism in which one drug has no effect but can increase the activity of the other drug.
Potentiation
-
Global term describing or referring to extension, auxiliary, or add-on devices attached to MDIs for administration. This term can include �spacer� and �valved holding chamber�.
Reservoir device
-
Simple tube or extension device with no one-way valves to contain the aerosol cloud; its purpose is simply to extend the MDI spray away from the mouth.
Spacer
-
Describing the tendency of aerosol particles to remain in suspension.
Stability
-
Spacer device with the addition of one-way valve to contain and hold the aerosol cloud until inspiration occurs.
Valved holding chamber
-
refers to the delivery of aerosol particles to the respiratory tract.
Aerosol therapy
-
What are the three main uses of aerosol in respiratory care?
Humidification, Improved mobilization and clearance of secretions, and delivery of drugs
-
is a suspension of solid or liquid particles whose deposition in the respiratory tract is determined by inertial impaction, gravitational settling (sedimentation), and, perhaps less importantly, diffusion (brownian motion).
Aerosol
-
Suspension of liquid or solid particles between 0.001 and 100 micrometers (�m) in diameter in a carrier gas.2 For pulmonary diagnostic and therapeutic applications, the particle size range of interest is 1 to 10 �m. Particles in this size range are small enough to exist as a suspension and to enter the lung and large enough to deposit and contain the required amount of an agent.
