A successful pulmonary administration requires a harmonic interaction between the drug formulation, the inhaler device, and the patient. However, the biggest single Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, College of Pharmacy, problem that accounts for the lack of desired effect or adverse outcomes is the incorrect use The University of Oklahoma Health of the device due to lack of training in how to use the device or how to coordinate actuation Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, and aerosol inhalation. This review summarizes the structural and mechanical features of OK, USA aerosol delivery devices with respect to mechanisms of aerosol generation, their use with different formulations, and their advantages and limitations. A technological update of the current state-of-the-art designs proposed to overcome current challenges of existing devices is also provided. Keywords: pulmonary delivery, asthma, nebulizers, metered dose inhaler, dry powder inhaler Introduction Inhalation therapy has been used for thousands of years, albeit in a different form and use. Inhalation therapy was practiced by ancient civilizations in Egypt, Greece, India, and People’s Republic of China as evidenced by different artifacts displayed in museums, that may be considered the first used inhalation devices.1,2 Currently, inhalation therapy is the best option for lung diseases like asthma, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

  • Olodaterol Monograph
    Olodaterol Monograph Olodaterol (Striverdi Respimat) National Drug Monograph VA Pharmacy Benefits Management Services, Medical Advisory Panel, and VISN Pharmacist Executives The purpose of VA PBM Services drug monographs is to provide a comprehensive drug review for making formulary decisions. Updates will be made when new clinical data warrant additional formulary discussion. Documents will be placed in the Archive section when the information is deemed to be no longer current. FDA Approval Information Description/Mechan Olodaterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA). Binding to and activating ism of Action beta2-adrenoceptors in the airways results in stimulation of intracellular adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that mediates the synthesis of cyclic-3’, 5’ adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Elevated levels of cAMP induce bronchodilation by relaxation of airway smooth muscle cells. Indication(s) Under Long-term once daily maintenance bronchodilator treatment of airflow obstruction in Review patients with COPD including chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema Dosage Form(s) Inhalation spray for oral inhalation via Respimat (a soft-mist inhaler) Under Review The soft-mist inhalers (SMI) provide multi-dose medication using liquid formulations similar to that used in nebulizers and are propellant-free. Presently, Respimat is the only SMI commercially available for clinical use. The soft mist is released at a slower velocity and has more prolonged spray duration than the mist produced from pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs). Pressurized MDIs require coordination of actuation with inhalation which may be difficult for some patients partly due to the rapid speed at which the drug is delivered and the short duration of the mist.

  • Therapeutic Enema for Intussusception
    Therapeutic Enema for Intussusception Therapeutic enema is used to help identify and diagnose intussusception, a serious disorder in which one part of the intestine slides into another in a telescoping manner and causes inflammation and an obstruction. Intussusception often occurs at the junction of the small and large intestine and most commonly occurs in children three to 24 months of age. A therapeutic enema using air or a contrast material solution may be performed to create pressure within the intestine and "un-telescope" the intussusception while relieving the obstruction. This exam is usually performed on an emergency basis. Tell your doctor about your child's recent illnesses, medical conditions, medications and allergies, especially to barium or iodinated contrast materials. Your child may be asked to wear a gown and remove any objects that might interfere with the x-ray images. An ultrasound may be performed to help confirm the diagnosis. What is a Therapeutic Enema for Intussusception? What is intussusception? Intussusception is a serious disorder in which one part of the intestine slides into another part of the intestine, similar to a collapsing telescope. The intestine becomes inflamed and swollen and can cause an obstruction or blockage. Symptoms can include severe abdominal pain, fever, vomiting or abnormal stools. Intussusception may occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract; however, it often occurs at the junction of the small and large intestine. The condition most commonly occurs in children three months to 24 months of age. Intussusception is a medical/surgical emergency. If your child has some or all of the symptoms of intussusception, you should call your physician or an emergency medical professional immediately.
