Goal of Asthma Therapy:
Achieve Control
 Reduce impairment
– Prevent chronic and troublesome symptoms
– Require infrequent use of inhaled SABA (≤2
days/week)
– Maintain (near) “normal” pulmonary
function
– Maintain normal activity levels
– Meet patient’s expectations of, and
satisfaction with, asthma care

Goal of Asthma Therapy:
Achieve Control
(continued)
 Reduce risk
– Prevent recurrent exacerbations
– Minimize need for emergency
department visits or hospitalizations
– Prevent progressive loss of lung
function
– Provide optimal pharmacotherapy,
with minimal or no adverse effects 11

ACEI-induced Cough
 The mechanism of ACE inhibitor-induced
cough remains unresolved, but likely involves
the protussive mediators bradykinin and
substance P, agents that are degraded by
ACE and therefore accumulate in the upper
respiratory tract or lung when the enzyme is
inhibited, and prostaglandins, the production
of which may be stimulated by bradykinin.

Mechanism of Action Corticosteroids  Normally endogenously by adrenal cortex  Inhibit production of inflammatory agents – Cytokines, an effect which reduces eosinophil infiltration, inhibits macrophage and eosinophil function – Decreases epithelium mediator cells, reduces vascular permeability, reduces the production of leukotrienes 29  Fitzgerald Health Education Associates, Inc. Inhaled Corticosteroids  Introduced in mid-1970s  First to market – Inhaled beclomethasone, at dose of 4 puffs per day, with 42 ug per puff (164 ug per total daily dose) – Low potency, marginal clinical effect, inconvenient dosing regimens limited acceptance of this therapy initially.  Fitzgerald Health Education Associates, Inc. 30 Drugs that Affect the Respiratory System Copyright, Fitzgerald Health Education Associates, Inc.
