Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: What is a Rescue Inhaler? A rescue inhaler is a medication for people with asthma to quickly reverse the symptoms of an asthma attack. Historically albuterol (Short Acting Beta Agonist (SABA)) monotherapy has been the mainstay rescue inhaler. This is because albuterol works fast and is relatively cheap. What are Combination Rescue Inhalers? Combination rescue inhalers contain a fast-acting bronchodilator as well as an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) The steroid helps to reduce some of the chronic airway inflammation that is worsening the asthma attack and can help to prevent future attacks Examples include budesonide-formoterol and albuterol-budesonide Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), states that combination therapy is now the preferred reliever for adults and adolescents with mild asthma What are the drawbacks of Combination Rescue Inhalers? These inhalers are generally more expensive than just using a SABA inhaler which can be a barrier for some people Improper use can also lead to conditions like thrush due to the addition of the steroid References Krings JG, Beasley R. The Role of ICS-Containing Rescue Therapy Versus SABA Alone in Asthma Management Today. J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract. 2024 Apr;12(4):870-879. doi: 10.1016/j.jaip.2024.01.011. Epub 2024 Jan 17.

Recycling of asthma inhalers – challenges and solutions by Transformation Partners in Health and Care

New York Democratic Primary winner George Latimer calls for unity. A look at the Ohio train derailment 16 months later including conversations with residents. Dr. Phil previews his primetime special with Robert F. Kennedy junior. Encouraging news for type one diabetics. Insider tips on swimsuit styles for women over fifty is discussed. Former president Trump has gag order partially lifted for upcoming debate with President Biden.

Inhalers weren't red flags yesterday, but today they are? Benzedrex and propylhexedrine have no age restrictions and no prescription necessary. In high doses, they cause a euphoric effect. It is difficult to detect. Officers often assume the person in question is high on meth. Nasal inhalers, used to help the average person, can have severe effects when used improperly.

Dr. John Overholt shares with host Liz Edwards some good news! Starting this summer, major manufacturers will cap patients' out-of-cost expense for inhalers. This restriction on pricing is long overdue as some patients are forced to limit the use of their inhalers because of its cost. Dr. Overholt shares how common it is for patients to use inhalers less frequently than prescribed and how dangerous that practice can be, creating more illness, more ER visits, and even the need for additional meds; but for those who can't afford the $400-$500 cost per month, it's a necessary maneuver. As Dr. Overholt explains, "A medication you can't afford is not a good medication." Learn when specific companies will begin capping their products and how this change will empower providers to prescribe the inhaler that works best for the patient instead of the one that's cheapest.

The cap of $35 takes effect June 1st; Super Micro Computer joins S&P 500 index; United Airlines reviewing safety after spate of incidents; Fitch says pharmacies, healthcare providers could take credit hit following UnitedHealth cyberattack.

2023.02.03 – 0764 – How Meds Can Hurt Not Help Your Voice Medications – Again, sticky-sweet, tongue colour-changing over-the-counter lozenges do not touch your vocal cords. Although they might have a placebo effect (you feel as though they are helping, and so your confidence returns), the ones with anaesthetic or numbing properties may actually be causing further damage, giving you a false sense that everything's OK. Instead, focus on the root cause of your vocal fatigue by practising with a vocal routine. Other medications can affect your voice too:· Inhalers and steroid sprays· Antihistamines (such as hay fever remedies) can also dehydrate· Antibiotics· Antidepressants · Oral contraceptives · The menthol in some cold remedies may be an irritant · Decongestant meds for nose and throat problems often work by drying out the local tissues. That's obviously not good news. If you have a cold and a subsequently blocked nose, you may have a dried-out nose caused by your meds and a dried-out mouth caused by having to use it for breathing. Therefore, it's essential that you take plenty of fluids. Alternative medication may include:· water, gargling and sleep are free· steam – is cheap· mindfulness – takes just minutes· warm pineapple juice – some find that this can help soothe a throat Hosted on Acast.

We speak to Consultant Respiratory Physician Dr Hitasha Rupani, Medicines Consultant Clinical Adviser at NICE Jonathan Underhill and asthma patient Sheba Joseph about NICE's recently published patient decision aid on asthma inhalers and climate change. The aid supports people with asthma to consider whether they might be able to use inhalers which have a smaller carbon footprint as part of their treatment plan.

  For people with asthma, reaching for a rescue inhaler can almost become a…

For the almost 4 million Canadians who live with asthma, inhalers are commonly prescribed to help when breathing becomes difficult. In this week's health hack, Mary Jane Hampton looks at how it's common for people with asthma to overuse inhalers, and why that's an issue.

In this episode of the #CodaEarth podcast, host Laura Raiti speaks to Brett Montgomery, a Perth-based GP &  senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia. As someone who is passionate about the climate emergency and the role each of us play in reducing the carbon footprint of healthcare, Brett is also the lead author of our Coda action plan to reduce usage of metered dose inhalers (pMDIs).   To kick off the podcast, Brett touches upon the fact that while much of society sees climate change as a political or environmental issue more commonly associated with polar bears and icebergs melting, he believes it's important that we begin to see it as a huge public health issue to cultivate real change. Brett believes that by reframing it as an issue that has real and serious health consequences, it will ensure people who aren't currently concerned by its effect are motivated to act when it comes to both climate change and their own health.   Brett then goes on to discuss in further detail his particular point of focus, which is the overuse of inhalers in healthcare. They discuss that while inhalers may appear to be a minor contribution to our impact as a whole when compared to the likes of aeroplanes and cars, in actual fact they have a disproportionate effect on health system's carbon footprint.   In fact, the healthcare system in Australia contributes about 7% of our entire national footprint – so not an insignificant number - and within the 7% about a quarter is down to prescriptions, of which, a fair chunk can be attributed to these inhalers.   Laura and Brett then go on to talk about ways in which the Coda community can get involved, and Brett highlights that it's important that everyone is more mindful about prescribing inhalers and that they employ critical thinking when it comes to ensuring that an inhaler is the right choice for both the patient and the environment.   They explore alternatives such as dry mist or powder inhalers, and consider a study that shows that between a third and a half of people who are prescribed these inhalers struggle to find evidence of the diagnoses.   Finally, they look at what the future could look like for Australia, should we work towards a collective movement against climate change, and discuss leading countries such as the UK and Sweden, both of whom are working towards eradicating overall health emissions.   To close, Brett shares his key piece of advice for those wanting to make change: the best climate action is what you're good at, what you enjoy and what the world needs.   Join Coda Earth now to safely reduce pMDI usage in your own practice.

Maintenance Therapy in COPD: Optimising Benefit With Inhalers When Ability to Inhale is Compromised

Antihistamines can cause many short-term effects such as urinary retention, constipation, dry mouth, increased appetite, and more serious long-term effects. One study showed a 3.5-fold increase in the risk of gliomas, a common type of brain tumor in patients with long-term antihistamine use for allergic conditions. Decongestants produce vascular effects like an increase in blood pressure, headache, sleeplessness and irritability. Long-term side effects are unknown.Corticosteroids can cause thinning of skin and mucous membranes, discoloration of the skin, and irritation. Used topically they favor absorption into the systemic circulation which can cause disturbance of the normal hormonal levels in the body. Corticosteroid eye drops can cause glaucoma, cataract formation and infection. Inhalers can cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, as well as yeast infections of the mouth.Oral corticosteroids cause still more severe side effects over the long term such as:stomach ulcerationcataract formation (opacity of the eye lenses)osteoporosis (reduced mineral content of bones resulting in weaker fracture-prone bones)muscle weaknesshyperglycemia (abnormally high blood sugar levels)Delayed growth when used in childrenIncreased blood pressureThomas, Liji.

If a student has an asthma flare at school, they need treatment right away. But, while schools carry epi-pens and overdose reversal medication, they do not stock inhalers. Pediatric pulmonologist Dr. Christy Sadreameli fills us in on a bill to require schools to have rescue inhalers on hand for emergencies. Former school nurse Mikki Fritz tells of a pupil who had an inhaler registered with the school, but that device stopped working, "Luckily, his mother had enough foresight to have an inhaler with him. So, he had one in his pocket and he used it on himself." Read the multi-society policy statement, "Ensuring Access to Albuterol in Schools: From Policy to Implementation." Then, an update on open enrollment from Michele Eberle of the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange. Open enrollment ends February 28th. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
