Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs

2.5K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

Antiasthma Drugs: β2-Adrenoceptor Agonists

2.1K
Bronchodilators are critical in managing asthma, a chronic respiratory condition characterized by airway constriction due to inflammation and hyper-reactivity. Specifically, bronchodilators ease this constriction by relaxing the bronchial muscles, facilitating easier breathing.
One class of bronchodilators includes β2-adrenoceptor agonists. These agents target the β2-adrenoceptors located on bronchial smooth muscle cells. By stimulating these receptors, β2-agonists induce...

Asthma-I: Introduction

3.8K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary isease (COPD) involves a group of progressive lung disorders characterized by persistent airflow limitation and chronic respiratory symptoms. Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS), encompassing features of both asthma and Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is a group of progressive lung disorders that includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. ACOS leads to complex clinical presentations that combine the inflammatory...

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Clinical Pharmacy
    • Health Psychology

    Background:

    • Asthma therapy adherence remains a significant challenge, contributing to increased patient morbidity and healthcare resource utilization.
    • Existing strategies to improve adherence have demonstrated limited success in clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a novel clinical method for enhancing asthma therapy adherence.
    • To outline the components of this new disease management approach for asthma patients.

    Main Methods:

    • The asthma adherence disease management method involves diagnosing adherence status and identifying patient-specific barriers to nonadherence.
    • Clinicians select tailored strategies for each identified barrier, utilizing patient-centered communication skills to maximize effectiveness.
    • This comprehensive approach is currently undergoing evaluation in multiple controlled trials.

    Main Results:

    • The described method offers a structured framework for addressing the complexities of asthma medication adherence.
    • Early indications suggest this patient-centered, barrier-focused strategy holds promise for improving adherence rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Clinicians are encouraged to consider implementing these asthma adherence strategies, either fully or partially.
    • This approach represents a potential advancement in managing asthma and improving patient outcomes through enhanced adherence.
