A 54-year-old male with a long history of mild persistent asthma on daily fluticasone therapy has been using his albuterol inhaler every day for the past month, and presents requesting a refill. What changes should be made to his current regimen?

  1. Add ciclesonide to current regimen
  2. Add salmeterol to current regimen
  3. Discontinue fluticasone and instead use salmeterol
  4. Add cromolyn to current regimen
  5. Discontinue fluticasone and add ipratropium to current regimen

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Add salmeterol to the current regimen. This patient had mild persistent asthma but was using his albuterol daily, which indicates that a step up in therapy is warranted. The preferred first line treatment regimen for moderate persistent asthma are low to medium dose inhaled corticosteroids plus a long acting beta2 agonist, as well as a short acting beta2 agonist as needed. A is incorrect. Ciclesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid. The patient in the case is already using fluticasone, so adding ciclesonide would be therapeutic duplication. C is incorrect. Long-acting beta2 agonists should only be used as adjunctive therapy in patients who are currently receiving but not adequately controlled on an inhaled corticosteroid. These medications should not be used as monotherapy, due to an increased risk of asthma related deaths. D is incorrect. Cromolyn prevents the release of vasoactive mediators from mast cell and is primarily used for exercise-induced asthma, it is not indicated as an alternative agent in patientswith moderate persistent asthma. E is incorrect. Ipratropium is a short-acting anticholinergic, which is often used in COPD or in asthma exacerbations. It is not indicated for maintenance treatment of moderate persistent asthma.

  3. Famotidine
  4. Metoclopramide

Which of the following medication may cause tardive dyskinesia when given at a higher dose and for a long duration?

  1. Lisinopril
  2. Dexamethasone
  3. Famotidine
  4. Metoclopramide
  5. Hydromorphone

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Metoclopramide may cause tardive dyskinesia when given at a higher dose and for a long duration of time of more than 3 months. Tardive dyskinesia is also listed as a Boxed Warning for metoclopramide. Tardive dyskinesia is a serious movement disorder that is irreversible. The risk increases with duration of treatment
and the total cumulative dose. If signs or symptoms of tardive dyskinesia develop, then metoclopramide should be discontinued. There is currently no known treatment for it, but symptoms can lessen or resolve after metoclopramide is stopped. Treatment should not be more than 12 weeks unless the benefits outweigh the risks of developing tardive dyskinesia.

Which of the following medication may significantly cause QT prolongation?

  1. Lisinopril
  2. Levothyroxine
  3. Metformin
  4. Hydromorphone
  5. Citalopram

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

Celexa causes dose-dependent QT interval prolongation, which can cause Torsades de Pointes, ventricular tachycardia, and sudden death. Celexa is not recommended for use at doses greater than 40 mg per day because such doses cause too large an effect on the QT interval and confer no additional benefit. Celexa should be discontinued in patients found to have persistent QTc measurements greater than 500 ms. Ondansetron and Famotidine may cause QT prolongation. Ondansetron may cause QT prolongation. However, this would be dose-dependent. Doses greater than 16 mg of Ondansetron IV are no longer recommended due to an increased risk of QT prolongation. Famotidine may prolong the QT interval; this has been reported in those with renal dysfunction. There have also been reports of torsade de pointes. Use of all three medications may result in an arrhythmia occurring since both have the potential to prolong the QT interval. Therefore, close monitoring is recommended or discontinuation of one medication. The other medications listed do not have this warning/precaution.
