Respiratory allergic disorders

Upper respiratory tract disorders are diagnosed as upper respiratory infections (URIs) and include acute rhinitis, sinusitis, acute tonsillitis, and acute laryngitis. Do not confuse acute rhinitis with allergic rhinitis.

Flunisolide is a fast-acting corticoid designed for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma, and other allied respiratory disorders in humans. As the quantum of drug delivered by inhalation (/. e., the usual route of administration of the drug), is invariably small, the plasma-levels attained can also be fairly small. Hence, there is a dire need for a sensitive method of plasma concentration evaluation which is satisfied by radioimmunoassay. 

For the treatment of panic disorder, the starting adult dose is 0.25 mg twice a day, which may be increased by one mg daily after three days. Clonazepam s safety and effectiveness has not been determined for individuals under the age of 18. Side effects in the treatment of panic disorders are similar to many of the benzodiazepines, and include allergic reaction, inflamed sinuses or nasal passages, flu, menstrual problems, respiratory infection, speech problems, and vaginal inflammation. 

Oral contraception is not considered to be relevant to the induction or aggravation of respiratory disorders, although the fact that a very few women have allergic reactions to these formulations could in theory be relevant to the occurrence of asthma. 

Nonselective beta blockers (i.e., those with a fairly equal affinity for beta-1 and beta-2 receptors) may produce bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma and similar respiratory disorders. Cardiovascular side effects include excessive depression of heart rate and myocardial contractility as well as orthostatic hypotension. Some of the traditional beta blockers may impair glucose and lipid metabolism, but this effect can be reduced by using one of the newer vasodilating beta blockers such as carvedilol.97 Other side effects include depression, fatigue, gastrointestinal disturbances, and allergic reactions. Beta blockers are generally well tolerated by most patients, however, and the incidence of side effects is relatively low. 

Clinical history should include both medical and occupational history to determine a relationship between exposure to a specific substance and development of respiratory hypersensitivity. Relevant information includes aggravating factors both in the home and workplace, the onset and progress of the disease, family history and medical history of the patient in question. The medical history should also include a note of other allergic or airway disorders from childhood, and smoking history.
