Asthma : Flixotide,Flovent,Atrovent,Serevent,Ventolin,Tilade,Spiriva,Foradil,Aerolizer
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways in which the smaller passages of the lungs narrow. This causes wheezing, shortness of breath, mucus production and coughing.
Symptoms can be controlled using anti-inflammatory drugs, bronchodilators, or leukotriene modifiers. Some of these drugs are preventative medications that must be taken on a regular basis (but cannot be used to treat acute attacks), while other are relief medications.
Anti-inflammatory drugs prevent asthma attacks and usually contain corticosteroids to reduce swelling and mucus production.
e.g Flixotide Accuhaler,
Flovent Diskus
Bronchodilators are drugs used torelieve the symptoms of an asthma attack by clearing mucus from the lungs and reducing swollen airways.
E.g. Atrovent, Serevent, Ventolin, Tilade, Spiriva (for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - COPD), Foradil Aerolizer
Combination: Seretide,Seroflo,Combivent
Leukotriene modifier: Singulair
Atrovent Inhaler, is a preventative medicine, contains the active ingredient ipratropium bromide, which is a type of medicine called an antimuscarinic bronchodilator. Ipratropium bromide works by opening the airways, making it easier to breathe. More details
Atrovent (Ipratropium Bromide) is registered trademark of Boehringer Ingelheim. Generic name is Ipratropium Bromide.This leaflet answers some common questions about Atrovent Nasal Aqueous 0.03% spray solution. It relaxes the muscles around the airways so that they open up for easier breathing. This drug blocks the action of a certain neurotransmitter at sites in the body's bronchial smooth muscle, causing relaxation of the lung airwats. More details
Combivent, a preventative drug, contains two active ingredients: ipratropium bromide and salbutamol sulphate. This combination of medicines has an additive effect in opening the airways, and makes it easier to breathe in conditions where the airways tighten. More details
Flixotide is a corteosteroid that reduces the swelling of the air passages, making breathing easier. Flixotide is a preventative drug and must be taken regularly to be effective. More details
Flixotide is a corteosteroid that reduces the swelling of the air passages, which makes the breathing easier. Flixotide is a preventative drug and must be taken regularly to be effective. More details
Flovent Diskus, a preventative drug, is a corteosteroid that reduces the swelling of the air passages associated with asthma, making breathing easier. Flovent Diskus is different from the Flixotide Accuhaler, as it is easier for children to use. More details
Foradil Aerolizer is used for the long-term, twice-daily administration in the maintenance treatment of bronchoconstriction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. More details
Seretide is a combination inhaler containing ,uticasone, a preventative drug which reduces the inflammation in the airways and makes them less sensitive to attacks. It also contains salmeterol, a symptom controlling drug, which relaxes and opens the airway muscles. More details
Seretide is a combination inhaler containing ,uticasone, a preventative drug which reduces the inflammation in the airways and makes them less sensitive to attacks. It also contains salmeterol, a symptom controlling drug, which relaxes and opens the airway muscles. More details
Serevent contains Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, which works by opening the airways and making breathing easier. It is used for people 12 years of age and older who are also using other medications (such as accuhaler corticosteroids) to treat their asthma. More details
Serevent contains Salmeterol, a long-acting bronchodilator, which works by opening the airways and making breathing easier. It is used for people 12 years of age and older who are also using other medications (such as inhaled corticosteroids) to treat their asthma. More details
The fluticasone in Seroflo reduces inflammation in the air passages, while the salmeterol relaxes and opens the air passages. It is a preventative medication, taken twice a day. More details
Singulair works by blocking leukotrienes (airway-swelling chemicals released when triggered by allergens) which prevents asthma attacks. More details
Spiriva contains the active ingredient tiotropium, which is an antimuscarinic or anticholinergic bronchodilator. Tiotropium blocks the muscarinc receptors in the lungs and therefore stops the action of acetylcholines. One inhaled dose of Spiriva lasts 24 hours. More details
Tilade (Nedocromil) works by acting on certain inflammatory cells in the lungs to prevent them from releasing substances that cause asthma symptoms and/or bronchospasm. When it is used regularly, nedocromil lessens the number and severity of asthma attacks by reducing inflammation in the lungs. More details
Ventolin (Albuterol inhalation) is used for the treatment of asthma and other chest illnesses such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. More details
Generic Ventorlin | Ventolin (Salbutamol) Inhaler is bronchodilator (trade names Ventolin or Proventil) used for asthma and emphysema and other lung conditions; available in oral or inhalant forms; side effects are tachycardia and shakiness.
Objective : To observe the curative effect of ventolin atomizing pump inhalation in treating pediatric asthma and pneumonia. More details
