Q Can you explain allergies?A An allergic response occurs when your
body’s immune system mistakenly overreacts.Instead of ignoring a normally
harmless substance such as pollen, mold, dust, dander or food, it tries
to defend you against the item.Specific proteins called antibodies are
made by the immune system and attach to certain blood cells in areas of
your body such as your nose, eyes, throat, skin or air passages in your
lungs.

Information on proper use of AEROBID Inhaler System.: Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Exposure to temperatures above 120°F (49°C) may cause container to explode. Never throw container into fire or incinerator. Carcinogenesis: Long-term studies were conducted in mice and rats using oral administration to evaluate the side effects and carcinogenic potential of the drug AEROBID. There was an increase in the incidence of pulmonary adenomas in mice, but not in rats. Female rats receiving the highest oral dose had an increased incidence of mammary adenocarcinoma compared to control rats. An increased incidence of this tumor type has been reported for other corticosteroids. Reproductive performance in the low- (8 mcg/kg/day) and mid-dose (40 mcg/kg/day) groups was comparable to controls. It was also fetotoxic in these animal reproductive studies.

Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether this drug AEROBID is excreted in human milk Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness have not been established in children below the age of 6. Oral corticoids have been shown to cause growth suppression in children and adolescents, particularly with higher doses over extended periods.If a child or adolescent on any corticoid appears to have growth suppression, the possibility that they are particularly sensitive to this effect of steroids should be considered. Of those patients, 463 were treated for 3 months or longer, 407 for 6 months or longer, 287 for 1 year or longer, and 122 for 2 years or longer.
Musculoskeletal reactions were reported in 35% of steroid-dependent patients in whom the dose of oral steroid was being tapered.

AEROBID inhaler dosage. Adults: The recommended starting dose is 2 inhalations twice daily, morning and evening, for a total daily dose of 1 mg. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 4 inhalations twice a day for a total daily dose of 2 mg. When the drug is used chronically at 2 mg/day, patients should be monitored periodically for effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Pediatric Patients: For children and adolescents 6-15 years of age, two inhalations may be administered twice daily for a total daily dose of 1 mg.

Insufficient information is available to warrant use in children under age 6. With chronic use, pediatric patients should be monitored for growth as well as for effects on the HPA axis. Rinsing the mouth after inhalation is advised. In patients who respond to AEROBID, improvement in pulmonary function is usually apparent within one to four weeks after the start of therapy. Once the desired effect is achieved, consideration should be given to tapering to the lowest effective dose.

Initially, AEROBID should be used concurrently with the patient’s usual maintenance dose of systemic corticosteroid. After approximately one week, gradual withdrawal of the systemic corticosteroid is started by reducing the daily or alternate daily dose. Reductions may be made after an interval of one or two weeks, depending on the response of the patient. A slow rate of withdrawal is strongly recommended. Generally, these decrements should not exceed 2. During withdrawal, some patients may experience symptoms of systemic corticosteroid withdrawal like
joint and/or muscular pain, lassitude and depression, despite maintenance or even improvement in pulmonary function. Such patients should be encouraged to continue with the inhaler but should be monitored for objective signs of adrenal insufficiency. If evidence of adrenal insufficiency occurs, the systemic corticosteroid doses should be increased temporarily and thereafter withdrawal should continue more slowly.

Before the first use, place the AEROBID metal cartridge inside the plastic container. Shake the inhaler system before each inhalation. Before each use, remove dustcap and inspect mouthpiece for foreign objects. Hold the inhaler system upright and put plastic mouthpiece in your mouth as shown, being sure to close your lips tightly around the mouthpiece. At the same time firmly press down on the metal cartridge with your index finger. Hold your breath as long as you can. While holding your breath, stop pressing on the cartridge and remove mouthpiece from your mouth. If your doctor has prescribed two or more inhalations at each use, wait a minute to allow pressure to build up again in the metal canister, then repeat steps again. Be sure to shake the inhaler system again before each inhalation. After the prescribed number of inhalations, rinse out your mouth thoroughly with water. Clean the inhaler system every few days
To do so, remove the metal cartridge, then rinse the plastic inhaler and cap with briskly running warm water.

NOTE: If your mouth becomes sore or develops a rash, after using AEROBID inhaler be sure to mention this to your doctor, but do not stop using your inhaler system unless he tells you.
WARNING: The contents of the metal cartridge AEROBID are under pressure
Exposure to temperature above 120°F (49°C) may cause cartridge to explode
Never throw cartridge into fire or incinerator. Use by children should always be supervised by an adult.

The blockbuster herbal formulation for Asthma ….. www.healasthma.com   Inhalers allow people with asthma to lead active lives without fear of an attack. Here’s a rundown of inhaler types, with tips on proper use. Inhalers have transformed asthma treatment. They enable children and adults with asthma to deliver medicine directly to their lungs nearly anytime and anywhere. A variety of inhalers are available to help relieve or control asthma symptoms. Two common types include metered-dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers. Using an inhaler is just one part of your asthma treatment plan, which may also include checking your lung function with a peak flow meter, eliminating asthma triggers and exercising. But knowing what types of inhalers are available and how to use them can help you better manage your asthma and get the most from your treatment. Types of inhalers Inhalers are hand-held portable devices that deliver medication directly to the lungs. A variety of inhalers exist, but they basically fall into two categories: Metered-dose inhalers. These inhalers use a chemical propellant to push the medication out of the inhaler. The medication may be released by squeezing the canister or by direct inhalation. Dry powder inhalers. These inhalers don’t use a chemical propellant to push the medication out of the inhaler. Instead, the medication is released by your inhaling more rapidly than you would with a traditional metered-dose inhaler. Medications delivered through inhalers Asthma inhalers are used to deliver a variety of asthma medications — some that assist with long-term control and others that provide quick relief of symptoms. Inhaled asthma medications include: Short-acting bronchodilators. These medications, including albuterol (Proventil, Ventolin) and pirbuterol (Maxair), provide immediate relief of asthma symptoms. Long-acting bronchodilators. These medications relieve asthma symptoms for longer periods of time. They include salmeterol (Serevent) and formoterol (Foradil). Corticosteroids. Used long term to prevent asthma attacks, these medications include beclomethasone dipropionate (QVAR), fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), triamcinolone acetonide (Azmacort) and flunisolide (Aerobid). Cromolyn or nedocromil. These nonsteroidal medications are used long term to prevent inflammation. Corticosteroid plus long-acting bronchodilator. This medication combines a corticosteroid and a long-acting bronchodilator (Advair). MORE ON THIS TOPIC Asthma medications: Know your options How do inhalers work? Inhalers may come with slightly different instructions. Follow those instructions carefully and ask your doctor for a demonstration. Metered-dose inhalers. These inhalers include a pressurized canister with measured doses of medication inside. Squeezing the top of the canister converts the medication into a fine mist. Some metered-dose inhalers are breath actuated and don’t require you to squeeze the inhaler. You place your lips on or near the inhaler’s mouthpiece to inhale the mist. Using the type of metered-dose inhaler with a pressurized canister calls for coordinating two actions: squeezing the canister and inhaling the medication. You may find it easier to do this with a spacer — a short tube that attaches to the inhaler. The spacer acts as a holding chamber that keeps the medication from escaping into the air. Releasing the medication into the chamber gives you time to inhale more slowly. It decreases the amount of medicine that’s deposited on the back of your throat and increases the amount that reaches your lungs. Dry powder inhalers. Dry powder inhalers require you to place your lips on the mouthpiece and inhale more rapidly than you would with a traditional metered-dose inhaler. Some people find dry powder inhalers easier to use than the conventional pressurized metered-dose inhalers because hand-lung coordination isn’t required. Available types include a dry powder tube inhaler, a powder disk inhaler and a single dose dry powder disk inhaler. Spacers can’t be used with dry powder inhalers. The importance of using inhalers properly Inhalers enable people with asthma to lead active lives without fear of an attack. Because inhalers are portable, they’re convenient and can provide immediate relief. But it’s important to use inhalers properly in order for the medications to be effective. You may find it difficult to take asthma medication regularly, particularly corticosteroids or other medicines used to prevent asthma symptoms over the long term. You may not feel any immediate benefit from these medications. But if you don’t take them regularly, as prescribed, you may have problems later on. For example, you may rely too heavily on inhaled bronchodilators. These fast-acting medications can relieve symptoms quickly, but they’re no substitute for the long-term medications that keep your asthma under control. In addition to taking the medications you’re prescribed, it’s important that you use your inhaler(s) correctly so that the medication reaches your lungs. Carefully follow the instructions. And ask a doctor, nurse or pharmacist for a demonstration. Use the inhaler in front of this person and ask for feedback. Then practice at home in front of a mirror. If you’re unable to use an inhaler, a nebulizer may be an option. Nebulizers are designed for those who can’t use an inhaler, such as infants, young children and those who are seriously ill. The device works by converting medication into a mist and delivering it through a mask that you wear over your nose and mouth.   Asthma treatment asthma treatment (69) Oh, who is Harbor-UCLA Medical Center’s pediatric chief of allergy and immunology, has… , of 811 words 91.
