[size=4][b]Chronic Bronchitis Meds - Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics Classification, Uses and Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]The fluoroquinolones are a relatively new group of antibiotics. Fluoroquinolones were first introduced in 1986, but they are really modified quinolones, a class of antibiotics, whose accidental discovery occurred in the early 1960.

[size=large][b]Fourth Generation[/b][/size][hr]The fourth-generation fluoroquinolones add significant antimicrobial activity against anaerobes while maintaining the gram-positive and gram-negative activity of the third-generation drugs. They also retain activity against Pseudomonas species comparable to that of ciprofloxacin. The fourth-generation fluoroquinolones include trovafloxacin (Trovan). Just as a book shouldn't be judged by its cover, we wish you read this entire article on Bronchitis before actually making a judgement about Bronchitis.

[size=large][b]Classification of Fluoroquinolones[/b][/size][hr]As a group, the fluoroquinolones have excellent in vitro activity against a wide range of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The newest fluoroquinolones have enhanced activity against gram-positive bacteria with only a minimal decrease in activity against gram-negative bacteria. Their expanded gram-positive activity is especially important because it includes significant activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae. We have tried to place the best definition about Bronchitis in this article. This has taken a lot of time, but we only wish that the definition we gave suits your needs.

[size=large][b]Second Generation[/b][/size][hr]The second-generation fluoroquinolones have increased gram-negative activity, as well as some gram-positive and atypical pathogen coverage. Compared with first-generation quinolones, these drugs have broader clinical applications in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis, sexually transmitted diseases, selected pneumonias and skin infections.

[size=large][b]Conditions Treated With Fluoroquinolones: Indications and Uses[/b][/size][hr]The newer fluoroquinolones have a wider clinical use and a broader spectrum of antibacterial activity including gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic organisms. Some of the newer fluoroquinolones have an important role in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia and intra-abdominal infections. The serum elimination half-life of the fluoroquinolones range from 3 -20 hours, allowing for once or twice daily dosing. Whenever one reads any reading matter likeBronchitis, it is vital that the person enjoys reading it. One should grasp the meaning of the matter, only then can it be considered that its reading is complete.

[size=large][b]Fluoroquinolones Disadvantages:[/b][/size][hr]Tendonitis or tendon rupture Multiple drug interactions Not used in children Newer quinolones produce additional toxicities to the heart that were not found with the older agents Chronic Bronchitis proved to be the foundation for the writing of this page. We have used all facts and definitions of Chronic Bronchitis to produce worthwhile reading material for you.

[size=large][b]First Generation[/b][/size][hr]The first-generation agents include cinoxacin and nalidixic acid, which are the oldest and least often used quinolones. These drugs had poor systemic distribution and limited activity and were used primarily for gram-negative urinary tract infections. Cinoxacin and nalidixic acid require more frequent dosing than the newer quinolones, and they are more susceptible to the development of bacterial resistance.

Quote:Fluoroquinolones are approved for use only in people older than 18. They can affect the growth of bones, teeth, and cartilage in a child or fetus. The FDA has assigned fluoroquinolones to pregnancy risk category C, indicating that these drugs have the potential to cause teratogenic or embryocidal effects. Giving fluoroquinolones during pregnancy is not recommended unless the benefits justify the potential risks to the fetus. These agents are also excreted in breast milk and should be avoided during breast-feeding if at all possible. You may be filled with astonishment with the amount of information we have compile here on Bronchitis. that was our intention, to astonish you.

[size=large][b]Fluoroquinolones Advantages:[/b][/size][hr]Ease of administration Daily or twice daily dosing Excellent oral absorption Excellent tissue penetration Prolonged half-lives Significant entry into phagocytic cells Efficacy Overall safety Our objective of this article on Bronchitis was to arouse your interest in it. Bring back the acquired knowledge of Bronchitis, and compare it with what we have printed here.

[size=large][b]Side Effects[/b][/size][hr]The fluoroquinolones as a class are generally well tolerated. Most adverse effects are mild in severity, self-limited, and rarely result in treatment discontinuation. However, they can have serious adverse effects.

Second-generation agents include ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, lomefloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin is the most potent fluoroquinolone against P. aeruginosa. Ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin are the most widely used second-generation quinolones because of their availability in oral and intravenous formulations and their broad set of FDA-labeled indications. There has been a gradual introduction to the world of Bronchitis projected in this article. We had done this so that the actual meaning of the article will sink within you. Big Grin.

The fluoroquinolones are a family of synthetic, broad-spectrum antibacterial agents with bactericidal activity. The parent of the group is nalidixic acid, discovered in 1962 by Lescher and colleagues. The first fluoroquinolones were widely used because they were the only orally administered agents available for the treatment of serious infections caused by gram-negative organisms, including Pseudomonas species. We were a bit tentative when embarking on this project on Bronchitis. However, using the grit and determination we have, we have produced some fine reading material on Bronchitis.

Because of their expanded antimicrobial spectrum, third-generation fluoroquinolones are useful in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, acute sinusitis and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, which are their primary FDA-labeled indications. The third-generation fluoroquinolones include levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin and sparfloxacin. Using the intuition I had on Chronic Bronchitis, I thought that writing this article would indeed be worth the trouble. Most of the relevant information on Chronic Bronchitis has been included here.

All of the fluoroquinolones are effective in treating urinary tract infections caused by susceptible organisms. They are the first-line treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis in patients who cannot tolerate sulfonamides or TMP, who live in geographic areas with known resistance > 10% to 20% to TMP-SMX, or who have risk factors for such resistance. An idle brain, is a devil's workshop they say. Using this ideology in mind, we ventured to write on Bronchitis, so that something productive would be achieved of our minds.

Because of concern about hepatotoxicity, trovafloxacin therapy should be reserved for life- or limb-threatening infections requiring inpatient treatment (hospital or long-term care facility), and the drug should be taken for no longer than 14 days. Thinking of life without Bronchitis seem to be impossible to imagine. This is because Bronchitis can be applied in all situations of life.

[size=large][b]Third Generation[/b][/size][hr]The third-generation fluoroquinolones are separated into a third class because of their expanded activity against gram-positive organisms, particularly penicillin-sensitive and penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae, and atypical pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae. Although the third-generation agents retain broad gram-negative coverage, they are less active than ciprofloxacin against Pseudomonas species. Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Gastrointestinal Effects[/b][/size][hr]The most common adverse events experienced with fluoroquinolone administration are gastrointestinal (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain), which occur in 1 to 5% of patients. CNS effects. Headache, dizziness, and drowsiness have been reported with all fluoroquinolones. Insomnia was reported in 3-7% of patients with ofloxacin. Severe CNS effects, including seizures, have been reported in patients receiving trovafloxacin. Seizures may develop within 3 to 4 days of therapy but resolve with drug discontinuation. Although seizures are infrequent, fluoroquinolones should be avoided in patients with a history of convulsion, cerebral trauma, or anoxia. No seizures have been reported with levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gatifloxacin, and gemifloxacin. With the older non-fluorinated quinolones neurotoxic symptoms such as dizziness occurred in about 50% of the patients. Phototoxicity. Exposure to ultraviolet A rays from direct or indirect sunlight should be avoided during treatment and several days (5 days with sparfloxacin) after the use of the drug. The degree of phototoxic potential of fluoroquinolones is as follows: lomefloxacin > sparfloxacin > ciprofloxacin > norfloxacin = ofloxacin = levofloxacin = gatifloxacin = moxifloxacin. Musculoskeletal effects. Concern about the development of musculoskeletal effects, evident in animal studies, has led to the contraindication of fluoroquinolones for routine use in children and in women who are pregnant or lactating. Tendon damage (tendinitis and tendon rupture). Although fluoroquinolone-related tendinitis generally resolves within one week of discontinuation of therapy, spontaneous ruptures have been reported as long as nine months after cessation of fluoroquinolone use. Potential risk factors for tendinopathy include age >50 years, male gender, and concomitant use of corticosteroids. Hepatoxicity. Trovafloxacin use has been associated with rare liver damage, which prompted the withdrawal of the oral preparations from the U.S. market. However, the IV preparation is still available for treatment of infections so serious that the benefits outweigh the risks. Cardiovascular effects. The newer quinolones have been found to produce additional toxicities to the heart that were not found with the older compounds. Evidence suggests that sparfloxacin and grepafloxacin may have the most cardiotoxic potential. Hypoglycemia/Hyperglycemia. Recently, rare cases of hypoglycemia have been reported with gatifloxacin and ciprofloxacin in patients also receiving oral diabetic medications, primarily sulfonylureas. Although hypoglycemia has been reported with other fluoroquinolones (levofloxacin and moxifloxacin), the effects have been mild. Hypersensitivity. Hypersensitivity reactions occur only occasionally during quinolone therapy and are generally mild to moderate in severity, and usually resolve after treatment is stopped. Writing something about Bronchitis seemed to be something illogical in the beginning. However, with the progress of matter, it seemed logical. Matter just started pouring in, to give you this finished product.

Urinary tract infections (norfloxacin, lomefloxacin, enoxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, trovafloxacin) Lower respiratory tract infections (lomefloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, trovafloxacin) Skin and skin-structure infections (ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, trovafloxacin) Urethral and cervical gonococcal infections (norfloxacin, enoxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin, trovafloxacin) Prostatitis (norfloxacin, ofloxacin, trovafloxacin) Acute sinusitis (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin (Avelox), trovafloxacin) Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis (levofloxacin, sparfloxacin (Zagam), gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, trovafloxacin) Community-acquired pneumonia (levofloxacin, sparfloxacin, gatifloxacin, moxifloxacin, trovafloxacin)

[i]Treating the bronchitis is mainly done by administering drugs to increase the volume of bronchial tubes, to calm coughing; infection is treated by antibiotics but a complete cure would be also giving up smoking. [/i]

Acute bronchitis has the signs of a chest cold: fever, dry or mucus expectorating coughing, feeble voice, speak problems, chest pain, nausea, and anorexia. Acute bronchitis is caused by bronchial inflammation is usually self-limiting. Symptoms can sometimes be impossible to detect because of the constricted contractions of the respiratory system. If not treated in time, acute bronchitis gives complications like chronicisation, asthmatic bronchitis; most dangerous are cases in children, newborns or adults suffering from emphysema.

While the bronchitis attacks, patients are not allowed to eat dairy products as they increase the secretion of mucus and worsen the infection by stimulating the multiplication of bacteria. Variety is the spice of life. So we have added as much variety as possible to this matter on Bronchitis Signs to make it's reading relevant, and interesting!

[list][*]Garlic, pepper and chicken stock are recommended during acute bronchitis to dilute the mucus and help its elimination.[*]Eucalyptus aromatherapy calms irritation in the bronchis and lungs improving the respiration.[*]Warm baths and warm compresses applied on the chest clear mucus and stabilize breathing.[*]Patients with bronchitis must really consider giving up smoking and take cautions also against people smoking around them.[/list]

Physical exercises are important in improving symptoms; aerobic exercise is helpful for sustaining breathing after the cure. Normal walking gives a great deal of help to bronchitis patients. Also cardiovascular sport exercises can ameliorate breathing, calm the patient and fortify muscles. Every cloud has a silver lining; so consider that this article on Chronic Bronchitis Patients to be the silver lining to the clouds of articles on Chronic Bronchitis Patients. It is this article that will add more spice to the meaning of Chronic Bronchitis Patients.

Chronic bronchitis refers to inflammation and often infection of the bronchia, manifested by persistent, sputum-producing cough. Patients are diagnosed with chronic bronchitis if they experience sputum expectoration for more than three months of the year over a period of two years in a row, in the absence of other respiratory or cardio-vascular problems that can also generate recidivating cough. Chronic bronchitis usually occurs on the premises of weakened natural defenses of the respiratory tract (cilia barriers), triggered by infection with viral or bacterial organisms, or prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke, chemicals, industrial pollutants and other irritants. Most cases of chronic bronchitis occur as a result of interaction between these factors.

[list][*]The first step in the management of chronic bronchitis is to reduce or completely eliminate patients' exposure to airborne irritants.[*]In order to increase the efficiency of medical treatments, regular smokers are advised to quit smoking for good.[*]Chronic bronchitis sufferers should avoid exposure to passive smoke, chemicals and industrial pollutants as much as possible.[*]For most patients, symptoms such as cough and difficult breathing can be alleviated simply by minimizing the exposure to irritants.[/list]

People with chronic bronchitis are usually prescribed combination treatments that include prophylactic antibiotics, corticosteroids, cough suppressants, expectorants (medications that have the opposite effects of suppressants) and chest physiotherapy. However, doctors don't recommend ongoing treatments with expectorants. Prolonged chest physiotherapy and postural drainage should also be avoided. Instead, cough-suppressing medications such as codeine or dextromethorphan can be prescribed in short courses for relieving persistent cough and obstruction of the airways. The results of one reading this composition is a good understanding on the topic of Persistent Cough. So do go ahead and read this to learn more about Persistent Cough.

[size=large][b]Is Important to Note that There is No Specific Cure for Chronic Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]The treatment of chronic bronchitis varies from a patient to another, according to the intensity, the duration and the stage of the disease. The recurrent character of chronic bronchitis renders most medical treatments ineffective in completely overcoming the disease. Thus, the treatment of chronic bronchitis is primarily aimed at providing temporary symptomatic relief and preventing the occurrence of further complications.

The process of diagnosing chronic bronchitis, doctors usually account for two major aspects: the recurrence of the symptoms generated by the disease and conclusive evidence of patients' exposure to airborne irritants. Patients with chronic bronchitis may experience the following symptoms: sputum-producing cough (yellowish aspect of the phlegm and expectoration of blood are indicators for bacterial infections), chest pain and discomfort that intensify with deep breaths, wheezing, pronounced shortness of breath and accelerated breathing. Along with hypoventilation, cyanosis usually points to spreading of the disease at the level of the lungs. In the absence of an appropriate medical treatment, people with chronic bronchitis are very exposed to the development of serious complications such as emphysema and pneumonia. Writing an article on Chronic Bronchitis was our foremost priority while thinking of a topic to write on. This is because Chronic Bronchitis are interesting parts of our lives, and are needed by us.

Maintaining good health is of utmost importance because only a healthy body can fight against the harmful micro-organisms that can cause diseases. Moreover, you can become a productive person in society dangerous for your heart a healthy body. The effects of acute bronchitis, for instance, can disrupt the flow of day-to-day living.

[size=large][b]Causes of Acute Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Bronchitis usually follows a cold. The same virus that is responsible for common cold is also responsible for bronchitis. People also contract acute bronchitis due to continous exposure to irritants that can cause inflammation of the bronchial tubes. The other factors that can cause significant damage to the bronchial tubes are dangerous chemical fumes, smoke, and dust.

[size=large][b]Treatment to Alleviate the Effects of Acute Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]It is very easy to treat this disorder and gain relief from the effects of acute bronchitis. The treatment plan includes getting plenty of rest, inhaling steam, taking hot showers, using humidifiers, and drinking plenty of fluids such as water, soups, and fruit juices. However, consulting the doctor is very important to determine whether the condition is due to the action of bacteria or fungus. In such cases, the doctor will prescribe some antibiotics or anti-fungal medication. Patience was exercised in this article on Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis. Without patience, it would not have been possible to write extensively on Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis. Big Grin.

[size=large][b]Recognising the Signs of Acute Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]Correctly recognising the various symptoms of this disease helps you take the necessary steps to prevent its further progress. Acute bronchitis patients suffer from a hacking, productive cough with plenty of mucus secretion, contracting sensation around the area of the eyes, headaches, tightness in the chest, low grade fever, and breathlessness. Since the symptoms of acute bronchitis are just like those of the common cold, it is easy to mistake this disorder to be common cold.

[size=large][b]Order to Alleviate the Effects of Acute Bronchitis,[/b][/size][hr]People suffering from this disorder should cease smoking completely or at least cut down the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Avoid dusty areas. If you happen to live in a polluted area, intall air purifiers in your house. Smile

[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis Lasts for a Duration of 10-12 Days[/b][/size][hr]Usually, it is followed by cold or flu. Bronchitis is a contagious disease. It can easily spread from person to person due to the infectious particles discharged while coughing or sneezing. To protect others from getting infected, cover your nose and mouth well when you cough or sneeze in the presence of others. We have actually followed a certain pattern while writing on Bronchitis Acute Bronchitis. We have used simple words and sentences to facilitate easy understanding for the reader.

[size=large][b]Who Does Acute Bronchitis Affect?[/b][/size][hr]Acute Bronchitis usually affects children, infants, tobacco smokers, old people, people living in polluted areas, and people with a weak pulmonary system. If this condition is left untreated, it can progress into chronic bronchitis. This respiratory disorder can occur at any season; however, the cold months of the winter aggravates it.

[size=large][b]Acute Bronchitis is a Common Occurrence[/b][/size][hr]The effects of acute bronchitis are many. However, of the two varieties of bronchitis, acute bronchitis or short-term bronchitis is easy to manage, control, and cure, given that it has been properly diagnosed.

Case the cough does not recede even after a month, you need to see a doctor. Peristent cough could be also be due to other serious conditions, such as pneumonia. Observe the color of the mucus discharged while coughing or sneezing. If blood is observed along with the mucus secretion, the condition is serious and requires the attention of your medical practitioner.

[size=large][b]Understanding the Effects of Acute Bronchitis[/b][/size][hr]The inflammation causes constriction of the bronchial tubes. This the reason why bronchitis patients have difficulties in breathing. If you neglect this condition or continue the lifestyle patterns, such as smoking and living in polluted areas, that cause it, this condition can develop into chronic bronchitis, which can cause untold damage to the bronchi and the tissues surrounding it.
