Brilliant Communication or Chicken Scratch? How to Read a Doctor's Prescription, Ask Your Pharmacist!:"Q. What does all that doctor's scribble on my prescription mean? Is there a trick to help me read prescriptions? A. Just like the English speak English, French speak French and the Vietnamese speak Vietnamese, doctors, nurses and pharmacists speak the language of medicine. It takes years of training to understand what might be spoken amongst health care professionals in your local hospital or the dense pages of information written in your own medical chart. Your prescription is an extension of this medical terminology. It contains key information and directions regarding your medication including the name, the dose, how to take it, when to take it, how frequently it should be ingested, and when the medication should be stopped, if it is to be taken for a definite duration."

Bronchodilator, Definition: About.com:"Bronchodilators are prescription medications used to relax the smooth muscles of your constricted airways. When the smooth muscles relax, the airways dilate (widen), making it easier to breathe and cough up sputum. Bronchodilators are inhaled through a device called an inhaler or "puffer" that delivers a measured dosage of medication with each puff." Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Bronchodilator Medicines, University of Virginia Health System:"Bronchodilators are probably the most commonly used medicines for asthma. They work by relaxing the muscles around the airways during an asthma attack. There are many different bronchodilator medicines. Some common ones are:
albuterol
Alupent
Atrovent
Brethine
ipatroprium
metaproteronol
Metaprel
Proventil
salbutamol
terbutaline
theophylline
Theodur

Bronchodilators for bronchiolitis, Gadomski AM, Bhasale AL, Cochrane Reviews:"Bronchodilators produce short-term improvements in infants with bronchiolitis but more research is needed Bronchiolitis is an acute, highly infectious lower respiratory tract (chest) infection that is common in infants. It causes the small airways in the lungs to become inflamed, blocking the free passage of air so that the infant becomes breathless, wheezy and short of oxygen. Bronchodilators are drugs often used as aerosols to widen the air passages by relaxing the bronchial muscle. They are effective in helping infants and adults with asthma. However unlike asthmatics, infants with bronchiolitis are usually wheezing for the first time and wheezing for a different reason, that is to say, because their airways are obstructed as opposed to bronchoconstricted. Therefore, infants with bronchiolitis may be less likely to respond to bronchodilators." Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Bronchodilators, National Jewish Medical and Research Center:"Bronchodilators help open the airways in the lungs by relaxing smooth muscle around the airways. There are three types of bronchodilators: beta-agonists, anticholinergics, and theophyllines.
Combination medications contain more than one type of medicine and are sometimes more beneficial than either medicine used alone.
Beta-agonists
Anticholinergics
Theophylline" Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Bronchodilators, Precautions, Healthline:"Bronchodilators come with patient instructions. Be sure to carefully read them before using the medicine. If there is any confusion about how to use the medicine, check with the physician or pharmacist. Always use these medicines exactly as directed. Taking larger than recommended doses or using the medicine too often can lead to serious side effects and even death. If symptoms do not improve or if they get worse after using a bronchodilator, call a physician right away. Although some bronchodilators are available without a physician's prescription, these medicines should not be used unless a physician has diagnosed the patient's condition as asthma." Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Bronchodilators: Relieving Asthma Symptoms, Asthma Guide, WebMD:"One type of medication is used by almost all people with asthma: a bronchodilator. Short-acting bronchodilators are used only as needed as asthma "rescue" medications, while long-acting bronchodilators are used every day to control asthma. Bronchodilators open up the bronchial tubes so that more air can move through. Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out (expelled) more easily." Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Bronchodilators, Wikipedia.org:"A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, increasing airflow. Bronchodilators may be endogenous (originating naturally within the body), or they may be medications administered for the treatment of breathing difficulties. Bronchial asthma is the most common application of these drugs. They are also intended to help improve the breathing capacity of patients with emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis.
Bronchodilators belong to a group of pharmaceutics called ß2 mimetics, which act on ß2 receptors in bronchial smooth muscle and bronchial mucous membranes. Bronchodilators, in particular non-prescription ones, are often misused as stimulants. A common side-effect of these medications is desensitization, which may produce refractory bronchospasm.
Bronchodilators are either short-acting or long-acting. Short-acting medications provide quick or "rescue" relief from acute bronchoconstriction. Long-acting bronchodilators help to control and prevent symptoms. The three types of prescription bronchodilating drugs are ß2-agonists (short- and long-acting), anticholinergics (short-acting), and theophylline (long-acting)."

David Bykowski, RN:"I have a great interest in holistic medicine I am questioned many times as to why I sell products My answer is simple to spread the holistic approach You may ask how selling products spreads the holistic approach Well I have found that I can preach holistic philosophy all day long and accomplish very little but if I can change a persons life via the use of a natural substance not only have I won them over but all the people they share their joy with. Thus I find selling products is more effective than merely preaching the benifits of holistic health." ****************************************************
