Physicochemical compatibility of fluticasone-17-propionate nebulizer suspension with ipratropium and albuterol nebulizer solutions
The objective of this in-vitro study was to determine whether mixtures of three nebulizable drugs are physicochemically compatible. Drug combinations were prepared by mixing the content of one respule Flutide forte "ready to use" (fluticasone propionate) with 2 milliliter Atrovent LS (ipratropium bromide) and 0.5 milliliter Sultanol inhalation solution (albuterol sulfate). Test suspensions were...
متن کاملCan albuterol be blamed for lactic acidosis?
Albuterol is an uncommonly recognized culprit in causing lactic acidosis. While treating asthmatics, lactic acidosis creates a paradoxical situation in which, despite improvement in bronchospasm, patients look more dyspneic as a compensatory mechanism for metabolic acidosis. This might lead to misinterpretation of the situation with increased albuterol dosing, creating a sort of vicious cycle u...
متن کاملOsmolality changes in nebulizer solutions.
Paradoxical effects (bronchoconstriction instead of bronchodilatation) have been reported after inhalation of beta2-mimetics in asthmatic children, and it has been suggested that this was due to osmolality and pH changes of the nebulizer solution. We tested commercially available nebulizer solutions and found osmolality changes after 5, 10 and 15 min of nebulization. Osmolality was measured in ...
متن کاملParadoxical bronchospasm from benzalkonium chloride (BAC) preservative in albuterol nebulizer solution in a patient with acute severe asthma. A case report and literature review of airway effects of BAC
Nebulized bronchodilator solutions are available in the United States as both nonsterile and sterile-filled products. Sulfites, benzalkonium chloride (BAC), or chlorobutanol are added to nonsterile products to prevent bacterial growth. Bronchoconstriction from inhaled BAC is cumulative, prolonged, and correlates directly with basal airway responsiveness. The multi-dose dropper bottle of albuter...
متن کاملCan continuous motion be an illusion?
It is widely accepted that continuity is the most essential characteristic of motion; the motion of macroscopic objects is apparently continuous, and classical mechanics, which describes such motion, is also based on the assumption of continuous motion. But is motion really continuous in reality? In this paper I will try to answer this question through a new analysis of the cause of motion. It ...
