What drug classes (4) are used for symptomatic relief of cough and cold
symptoms?
✓ antitussives
✓ antihistamines
✓ decongestants
✓ expectorants
Antitussives used in respiratory conditions
(5)
✓ diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
✓ benzonatate (Tessalon Perles)
✓ dextromethorphan (DM)(Delsym)
✓ codeine (codeine)
✓ hydrocodone (many combos)
Antitussives used in respiratory conditions
pharmacodynamics of _____ (drug name)
as an antihistamine, ___ (same drug name) blocks H-1 receptors in the brain
stem, the center of cough reflex. The typical nervous system that detects
intrabronchial irritants and actuates the cough reflex is blocked by blocking
these receptors.
Additionally, all antihistamines have antagonist activity on cholinergic receptors.

✓ diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
Antitussives used in respiratory conditions
pharmacodynamics of _____ (drug name)
___ is a local anesthetic. It blocks the propagation of nerve impulses from the
sensory nerve endings in the bronchial mucosa. By blocking the impulses at their
source, the cough reflex center in the brain stem does not receive the irritant
signal, and the cough reflex is blocked.
✓ benzonatate (tessalon perles)
Antitussives used in respiratory conditions
pharmacodynamics of _____ (drug name)
___ is an opiate drug, which blocks opiate receptors in the brain stem and the
cough reflex by blocking nerve transmission in the cough center.
This drug is unique.... it does not have analgesic effect like other opiates.
✓ dextromethorphan
Antitussives used in respiratory conditions
pharmacodynamics of ____ (drug name(s))
___ are true opiate drugs and block opiate receptors in the brain stem and block
the transmission of irritant nerve impulse sensations through the cough center.
✓ codeine and hydrocodone
