    Sandrine Barredo
    Terbutaline is a bronchodilator in the drug class of beta-adrenergic agonists. It works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs, resulting in bronchodilation and increased levels of cAMP. Common uses include treatment of asthma and COPD. Dosages and administration routes vary depending on the condition and age of the patient. Potential adverse effects include nervousness, hypertension, arrhythmias, nausea and hypokalemia. Nurses monitor patients for signs of bronchospasm and drug tolerance. Sodium chloride nasal spray contains saline solution to moisturize dry nasal passages. It is used to relieve nasal congestion from colds, allergies, or irritation. Adverse

    Monophosphate (cAMP).Results of increased levels of camp at Beta-adrenergic receptors include:
    Bronchodilation, CNS and Cardiac Stimulation, Diuresis, Gastric Acid Secretion. Relatively selective for
    Beta-2 (Pulmonary) Receptors.
    DOSAGE: Bronchodilation PO (Adults): 2.5-5mg tid, at 6-hr intervals.PO (Children 12-15 yr): 2.5 mg tid, at

    NURSING RESPONSIBILITIES:
    Bronchospasm: assess blood pressure, pulse, respiratory pattern, lung sounds, and character of
    secretions prior to and after treatment. Cardiovascular effects are increased with parenteral use.
    Observe patient for appearance of drug tolerance and rebound bronchospasm


    GENERIC NAME: Sodium chloride
    BRAND NAME: NasoClear
    DRUG CLASS: Nasal Decongestants, Antiallergics
    PHARMACODYNAMICS: NasoClear contains sodium chloride solution, a salt solution that treats dry or

    INDICATIONS: Relief from nasal congestion; cold or flu symptoms; nasal irritation due to pollen, dust
    mites, mold and pollution; nasal allergies; upper airway cough syndrome (postnasal drip)
    CONTRAINDICATIONS: hypersensitivity
    ADVERSE EFFECTS: NasoClear does not contain any medication and undesirable effects usually do not
    occur with use. However, if the inside of the nose is very dry and irritated, stinging may occur. It may
    also induce transient sneezing
    NURSING RESPONSIBILITIES:
    1. Instruct to not share NasoClear with others because of the possible increased risk of infection.
