How each medicine works
Medicines in this body system: 19
| Albuterol — Activates beta-2 receptors on airway smooth muscle, raising cyclic AMP via adenylcyclase and relaxing bronchial smooth muscle. |
| Fluticasone — A synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity. High glucocorticoid-receptor binding affinity is shown in vitro, but its clinical significance and the precise mechanism of rhinitis symptom relief are unknown. |
| Montelukast — Binds with high affinity and selectivity to the CysLT1 receptor, inhibiting physiologic actions of leukotriene D4 in the airway. |
| Benzonatate — Anesthetizes stretch receptors in the airways, lungs and pleura, damping the cough reflex at its source. |
| Fluticasone Propionate / Salmeterol — Fluticasone: synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity; salmeterol: long-acting beta2-agonist bronchodilator. |
| Budesonide / Formoterol — Budesonide: potent glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory; formoterol: long-acting selective beta2-agonist bronchodilator. |
| Fluticasone propionate — A synthetic trifluorinated corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory activity and high glucocorticoid-receptor affinity in vitro. It affects inflammatory cells and mediators, but the precise mechanism of rhinitis symptom relief and the clinical significance of receptor-binding findings are unknown. |
| Fluticasone furoate / Umeclidinium / Vilanterol — Fluticasone furoate: anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. Umeclidinium: long-acting muscarinic antagonist. Vilanterol: long-acting beta2 agonist. |
| Promethazine / Dextromethorphan — Promethazine: H1 receptor blocker with sedative and antiemetic effects. Dextromethorphan: acts centrally to raise the cough threshold. |
| Guaifenesin / Codeine — Expectorant action loosens phlegm and thins bronchial secretions to make cough more productive; product also relieves cough. |
| Budesonide (inhalation suspension) — Anti-inflammatory corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid and weak mineralocorticoid activity. |
| Ipratropium / Albuterol — Ipratropium blocks muscarinic acetylcholine receptors; albuterol stimulates beta2 receptors, raising cAMP and relaxing airway muscle. |
| Tiotropium bromide (soft mist inhaler) — Long-acting antimuscarinic; inhibits M3 receptors on airway smooth muscle, causing bronchodilation. |
| Fluticasone furoate / Vilanterol — Fluticasone furoate: anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. Vilanterol: long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). |
| Brompheniramine / Pseudoephedrine / Dextromethorphan — Brompheniramine: alkylamine H1 blocker with anticholinergic effects. Pseudoephedrine: alpha-adrenergic nasal decongestant. Dextromethorphan: raises the cough threshold. |
| Ipratropium Bromide — Anticholinergic; applied locally, inhibits secretions from serous and seromucous nasal glands. |
| Guaifenesin — Expectorant; loosens phlegm and thins bronchial secretions. |
| Mometasone Furoate — Corticosteroid with potent anti-inflammatory effects on mast cells, eosinophils, and mediators; exact mechanism in rhinitis unknown. |
| Dextromethorphan / Guaifenesin — Guaifenesin loosens phlegm and thins bronchial secretions; dextromethorphan temporarily relieves cough. |
