LRTAs: Adverse Effects
Give this one a try later!
Montelukast has fewer adverse effects
Nonsedating/Peripherally Acting Antihistamines
,Give this one a try later!
Developed to eliminate unwanted adverse effects, mainly sedation
Work peripherally to block the actions of
histamine; thus, fewer CNS adverse effects
Longer duration of action (increases compliance)
Examples: fexofenadine (Allegra), loratadine (Claritin), cetirizine (Zyrtec
Upper Respiratory Tract (URT)
Give this one a try later!
Outside the chest cavity (Thorax)-Nose, nasopharynx,
oropharynx, laryngopharynx, larynx
Calcium channel blockers Nursing Implications
Give this one a try later!
Constipation is a common problem; instruct patients to take in adequate
fluids and eat high-fiber foods
Coagulation Modifier Drugs: Nursing Implications
Give this one a try later!
, Monitor for therapeutic effects
Monitor for signs of excessive bleeding
Monitor for adverse effects:
- Increased BP, headache, hematoma formation, hemorrhage, shortness of
breath, chills, fever
Bronchodilators: Xanthine Derivatives
Give this one a try later!
Only theophylline is used as a bronchodilator
Blood pressure

CO × SVR
Anticoagulants: Adverse Effects
Give this one a try later!
Bleeding
Risk increases with increased dosages
May be localized or systemic
May also cause:
Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, anemia, edema
, Warfarin can cause skin necrosis and "purple toes" syndrome
Thiazide diuretics
Give this one a try later!
hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix, HydroDIURIL)
chlorothiazide (Diuril)
trichlormethiazide (Metahydrin)
Nasal steroids vs nasal decongestants
Give this one a try later!
Nasal steroids work on tissues, nasal decongestants work on inflammatory
response
ACE Inhibitors: Adverse Effects
Give this one a try later!
Dry, nonproductive cough, which reverses when therapy is stopped
Headache
Fatigue
NOTE: First-dose hypotensive effect may occur!
