Across
  1. 3. deliver medication directly to the lungs for treating asthma and COPD, requiring a fast, deep inhalation for activation rather than propellants
  2. 6. FDA-approved pharmacotherapy (nicotine inhalers, nasal sprays, Varenicline, and Bupropion) that reduce nicotine cravings and withdrawal
  3. 7. reduce chronic airway inflammation and prevent symptoms
  4. 9. agents that suppress the cough reflex, used primarily for treating dry, nonproductive coughs associated with respiratory infections or irritation
  5. 11. medications that reduce the viscosity of airway mucus, making it thinner and easier to cough up, commonly used for COPD, cystic fibrosis, and pneumonia
  6. 12. medications that help loosen and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear congestion from the respiratory tract
  7. 13. handheld, pressurized devices that deliver a precise, consistent amount of medication to the lungs, commonly used for asthma and COPD
  8. 14. medications that mimic sympathetic nervous system activity, primarily acting as bronchodilators to treat asthma, COPD, and bronchitis by relaxing airway smooth muscles
Down
  1. 1. convert liquid medications into a fine, inhaled mist to treat respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis
  2. 2. act by relaxing smooth muscles around airways to treat asthma and COPD
  3. 4. medications that alleviate nasal congestion, sinus pressure, and stuffiness by narrowing blood vessels in the nasal passages, reducing inflammation and mucus
  4. 5. treat upper respiratory allergy symptoms (sneezing, runny nose) by blocking H{1}-receptors
  5. 8. inhaled medications that act as bronchodilators, relaxing airway muscles to treat COPD and asthma
  6. 10. used for long-term control of asthma and COPD by relaxing bronchial smooth muscles to improve breathing
