Let’s talk about asthmatic syndromes: in the case of bronchial asthma, alongside pharmacological therapies, the patient should follow some dietary and behavioral rules that reduce the risk of an asthmatic attack
Asthmatic syndromes, drugs
A preventive measure of particular importance in respiratory allergy, especially in bronchial asthma, is to avoid the administration of drugs or chemical substances that can trigger or worsen an asthmatic syndrome.
Drugs that can trigger an asthmatic crisis (“asthma producing drugs”) are:
acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (Oki, Brufen…);
β-blockers;
cholinergic agonists;
agents that may cause non-IgE-mediated mast cell activation (contrast media, anesthetics, muscle relaxants);
ACE inhibitors, which can produce accumulation of bradykinin, cough and other undesirable reactions mimicking bronchial asthma.
In all asthmatics, the use of morphine and morphine-like drugs, as well as that of psychotropic drugs with a tranquilizing action, should be discouraged; recently, in fact, it has been demonstrated that asthmatic patients who use major tranquilizers have a two to three times higher risk of death from asthma or severe asthma attacks.
Sulfites
Among the chemical substances that can give rise to asthmatic syndromes, sulphites should be mentioned in particular, which should be avoided by individuals with bronchial asthma. Read More….
