Topical effects on lung without significant systemic effects Appropriate use of a short acting bet agonist - ANSWER relief of acute asthma attacks. Long acting beta agonist are used for prevention in contrast
mechanism of action of inhaled muscarinic receptor antagonist - ANSWER acts on M3 receptors in smooth muscle cells and submucosal glands and leads to smooth muscle contraction and mucus secretion and produces bronchodilatory effects
Adverse effects of inhaled muscarinic receptor antagonists? - ANSWER cough, hoarseness, rare allergic reactions, dry mouth, anticholinergic effects (urinary retention, dizziness, drowsiness, and constipation
What special population should not be prescribed pseudoephedrine? - ANSWER Children younger than 4 years old, and patients with hypertension
