What is Qvar Redihaler

Beclomethasone dipropionateThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryBeclomethasone dipropionate is a steroid medication used to reduce inflammation and treat conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and skin allergies. It comes in different forms, including a pressurized metered-dose inhaler, dry powder inhaler, and aqueous nasal spray. Beclomethasone dipropionate works by blocking inflammation-causing chemicals and is less irritating to the nasal mucosa than other corticosteroids like dexamethasone or prednisolone.

Effectiveness

How Qvar Redihaler Affects PatientsBeclomethasone dipropionate is a drug used to treat chronic inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and dermatoses. It helps to reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling. When inhaled, it can improve lung function and reduce asthmatic symptoms. However, long-term use or high doses may lead to side effects, such as disruption of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, bone turnover, decreased growth in children, and a higher risk of infections.
How Qvar Redihaler works in the bodyBeclomethasone dipropionate is a type of steroid that helps reduce inflammation. It does this by binding to a receptor in the nucleus of cells, which then changes the genes responsible for inflammation. It stops pro-inflammatory genes from being expressed, which reduces inflammation. It also increases the expression of anti-inflammatory genes, which further lowers inflammation. Finally, it stops the molecules responsible for inflammation from being able to bind to the DNA, which stops further inflammation.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Qvar Redihaler is dependent upon the established condition, including Adrenal Cortex Hormones, Dermatosis and Nasal Polyps.

I've had the Redihaler for a while now, and unfortunately it has stopped working on me after only using half of the doses.

Half the time, the medication is dispersed as soon as I open the cover. This dispersion rate isn't consistent, and it's frustrating to have to keep reopening and closing the lid to get more of the medication. The old qvar worked great--this new version is a ripoff.

I've been less than pleased with this new dispenser. For the last three months, it's run out of doses before the canister is even close to empty.

The new design RediHaler is unfortunately very ineffective. It stopped delivering the medication with more than half the medication left in the canister.

Qvar Redihaler for Controller Medication for Asthma
Qvar was working great for me until they switched to the redihaler, which has had nothing but problems. It squirts while closing the cover after inhalation, so I'm not getting the correct dose. And then my asthma gets worse, so I know it's not working. I found a hack, though: if you peel off the label and twist the top part counterclockwise, it comes right off. Remove the cap and use it like a traditional inhaler.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Asthma

All Sexes
Mayfield Heights, OH
Asthma is a common respiratory condition that can be difficult to control despite the use of medications such as inhalers, oral steroids or even injectable medications. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on technique used to improve the chest structure and function and may help in improving breathing. Previous research showed that OMT in asthma patients, can improve the movement of the ribs and improve the "peak flow" which is the maximum rate at which a person can exhale air after taking a deep breath. However, no studies have evaluated the impact of OMT on lung inflammation. This single-site research study at University Hospitals aims to evaluate whether Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) can reduce lung inflammation and improve breathing and lung function in adult patients with asthma. The lung function will be evaluated by Spirometry which is a test that measures how much air you can breathe in and out of your lungs, as well as how quickly and easily you can exhale air. The lung inflammation will be measured using a device that can detect how much you are breathing out Nitric Oxide which is a gas produced by inflamed cells in the lungs, this test is called: Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide or FeNO. Approximately 100 participants will be enrolled.

Aurora, CO
While asthma therapy is becoming more individualized based on asthma phenotypes, more research is needed to tailor newer therapies to individuals. Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medications are the foundation of care for all individuals with persistent asthma. But ICS use is not without possible long term side effects. This study will compare two currently available approaches to reduce AEX in primary care patients: (1) use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as part of rescue therapy, also known as MART (Maintenance And Reliever Therapy) or PARTICS (Patient Activated Reliever Trigger Inhaled Corticosteriods) therapy - either of these therapies will be called Rescue-Inhaled Corticosteroids or R-ICS pronounced "Ricks," and (2) use of azithromycin (AZ) as a preventive therapy. These treatments will be studied both individually and in combination.

Ajax, Canada
The goal of this study is to assess the effect of an electronic asthma management system in pharmacies (eAMS-Pharm) on asthma control assessment, asthma medication adjustment, asthma action plan delivery, and prompting for specialist referral in severe asthma. The study assesses the differences on pharmacy processes (affecting both the pharmacy team and patients) and pharmacy-delivered care using an interrupted time-series analysis (six-months before vs. six-months after the introduction of eAMS-Pharm in study pharmacy sites). The eAMS-Pharm uses patient data (asthma control, asthma flare-up risk, and current medications) to provide clinical decision support to pharmacists, empowering them to bridge existing gaps between guideline-recommended asthma care and patient care received.

Salbutamol for Athletic Performance

Vancouver, Canada
β2-Agonists, commonly used to treat asthma, have also been used by athletes to enhance performance, leading to their ban by the International Olympic Committee in 1972. Research has shown non-asthmatics receive no benefit from these drugs at therapeutic dosages; however, many elite athletes still use them, and asthmatic athletes often win more Olympic medals. In some non-asthmatics, β2-agonists may improve breathing limitations during high intensity exercise, which may improve performance. Therefore, we aim to examine if there is a select group of non-asthmatic individuals who experience breathing limitations that may receive benefit from β2-agonists.

PF-07275315 for Asthma

18 - 70
All Sexes
Mobile, AL
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called PF-07275315) for the potential treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma. Asthma is a condition that makes it challenging to breathe, which negatively impacts the quality of life and functioning of people who are affected. This study is seeking participants who: * Are 18 to 70 years old * Have had moderate-to-severe asthma for at least 12 months that is not well controlled * Have been taking their regular maintenance treatment(s) for asthma over the last 12 months All participants will receive PF-07275315 or a placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. PF-07275315 or placebo will be given as multiple shots in the clinic over the course of 12 weeks. We will compare the experiences of people receiving PF-07275315 to those of the people who do not. This will help us determine if PF-07275315 is safe and effective. Participants will be involved in this study for about 9.5 months. During this time, they will have 10 visits at the study clinic.

Corticosteroids for Asthma

All Sexes
Hamilton, Canada
Most individuals with asthma can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain normal lung function using inhaled medications, unfortunately, there is a subset of asthma sufferers whose symptoms, lung function, and risk of asthma attacks remain unimproved despite conventional inhaled medications. There could be several reasons for this. One possibility is that inhaled medications fail to reach the intended areas within the lungs, due to structural abnormalities within the airways themselves. Much like road conditions or closures can impede the speed and efficiency of vehicle travel, factors such as airway narrowing or mucus blockages, which are common in asthma, can obstruct the passage of inhaled medications through the airways. Our team has now optimized advanced medical imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), required to investigate this. This study will use these imaging methods to visually assess and measure individual patients' airways and determine whether abnormal airway structures impact how well they respond to inhaled and orally delivered medications. We anticipate finding that abnormal airway structures make inhaled medications less effective, but that they do not affect the response to oral medications.
