Treatment Summary

Flunisolide (known by brand names AeroBid, Nasalide, and Nasarel) is a steroid-based medication designed to reduce inflammation. It is often prescribed to treat allergic rhinitis, an allergic reaction of the nose. The drug works by activating receptors in the body that help reduce inflammation.

How Nasarel Affects Patients

Flunisolide is a type of hormone that eases inflammation and suppresses the body's immune response. It can be taken as an inhaler or a nasal spray to treat asthma or allergies respectively. The nasal spray is used to reduce the common allergic symptoms such as runny nose, stuffiness, postnasal drip, sneezing, and throat itching.

How Nasarel works in the body

Flunisolide is a medication that works by targeting the glucocorticoid receptor. It does this by making proteins called lipocortins, which stop the body from making inflammatory molecules like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Additionally, it weakens the immune system by stopping the lymphatic system from working properly, reducing the number of immune cells, and stopping certain molecules from connecting to each other. Flunisolide is activated when it is not bound to a particular protein in the blood.

Nasarel for Inflammation of the Nose due to an Allergy

I use this drug to treat my seasonal allergies. It takes about 3 days of use to become effective, but it's well worth the wait. Once it starts working, I feel like I don't have allergies at all!

What is Nasarel used for?

"Nasarel has been proven to help relieve the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing."

Answered by AI

Is Aller Cort a steroid?

"The drug Triamcinolone belongs to a class of drugs called corticosteroids, which work by reducing swelling (inflammation) in the nasal passages. Even if you have used the product before, make sure to check the ingredients on the label."

Answered by AI

Is flunisolide the same as Flonase?

"No, both are nasal corticosteroids but they are different medications. Flonase (and Veramyst) are brand names for fluticasone nasal spray. Flunisolide is the generic name."

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment for Asthma

18 - 60
All Sexes
Mayfield Heights, OH

Asthma is a common respiratory condition that can be difficult to control despite the use of medications such as inhalers, oral steroids or even injectable medications. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on technique used to improve the chest structure and function and may help in improving breathing. Previous research showed that OMT in asthma patients, can improve the movement of the ribs and improve the "peak flow" which is the maximum rate at which a person can exhale air after taking a deep breath. However, no studies have evaluated the impact of OMT on lung inflammation. This single-site research study at University Hospitals aims to evaluate whether Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) can reduce lung inflammation and improve breathing and lung function in adult patients with asthma. The lung function will be evaluated by Spirometry which is a test that measures how much air you can breathe in and out of your lungs, as well as how quickly and easily you can exhale air. The lung inflammation will be measured using a device that can detect how much you are breathing out Nitric Oxide which is a gas produced by inflamed cells in the lungs, this test is called: Fractional exhaled Nitric Oxide or FeNO. Approximately 100 participants will be enrolled.

Inhaled Corticosteroids + Azithromycin for Asthma

All Sexes
Aurora, CO

While asthma therapy is becoming more individualized based on asthma phenotypes, more research is needed to tailor newer therapies to individuals. Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) medications are the foundation of care for all individuals with persistent asthma. But ICS use is not without possible long term side effects. This study will compare two currently available approaches to reduce AEX in primary care patients: (1) use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as part of rescue therapy, also known as MART (Maintenance And Reliever Therapy) or PARTICS (Patient Activated Reliever Trigger Inhaled Corticosteriods) therapy - either of these therapies will be called Rescue-Inhaled Corticosteroids or R-ICS pronounced "Ricks," and (2) use of azithromycin (AZ) as a preventive therapy. These treatments will be studied both individually and in combination.

Pharmacy Support System for Asthma

Ajax, Canada

The goal of this study is to assess the effect of an electronic asthma management system in pharmacies (eAMS-Pharm) on asthma control assessment, asthma medication adjustment, asthma action plan delivery, and prompting for specialist referral in severe asthma. The study assesses the differences on pharmacy processes (affecting both the pharmacy team and patients) and pharmacy-delivered care using an interrupted time-series analysis (six-months before vs. six-months after the introduction of eAMS-Pharm in study pharmacy sites). The eAMS-Pharm uses patient data (asthma control, asthma flare-up risk, and current medications) to provide clinical decision support to pharmacists, empowering them to bridge existing gaps between guideline-recommended asthma care and patient care received.

Salbutamol for Athletic Performance

β2-Agonists, commonly used to treat asthma, have also been used by athletes to enhance performance, leading to their ban by the International Olympic Committee in 1972. Research has shown non-asthmatics receive no benefit from these drugs at therapeutic dosages; however, many elite athletes still use them, and asthmatic athletes often win more Olympic medals. In some non-asthmatics, β2-agonists may improve breathing limitations during high intensity exercise, which may improve performance. Therefore, we aim to examine if there is a select group of non-asthmatic individuals who experience breathing limitations that may receive benefit from β2-agonists.

PF-07275315 for Asthma

18 - 70
All Sexes
Mobile, AL

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine (called PF-07275315) for the potential treatment of moderate-to-severe asthma. Asthma is a condition that makes it challenging to breathe, which negatively impacts the quality of life and functioning of people who are affected. This study is seeking participants who: * Are 18 to 70 years old * Have had moderate-to-severe asthma for at least 12 months that is not well controlled * Have been taking their regular maintenance treatment(s) for asthma over the last 12 months All participants will receive PF-07275315 or a placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicine being studied. PF-07275315 or placebo will be given as multiple shots in the clinic over the course of 12 weeks. We will compare the experiences of people receiving PF-07275315 to those of the people who do not. This will help us determine if PF-07275315 is safe and effective. Participants will be involved in this study for about 9.5 months. During this time, they will have 10 visits at the study clinic.

Corticosteroids for Asthma

All Sexes
Hamilton, Canada

Most individuals with asthma can effectively manage their symptoms and maintain normal lung function using inhaled medications, unfortunately, there is a subset of asthma sufferers whose symptoms, lung function, and risk of asthma attacks remain unimproved despite conventional inhaled medications. There could be several reasons for this. One possibility is that inhaled medications fail to reach the intended areas within the lungs, due to structural abnormalities within the airways themselves. Much like road conditions or closures can impede the speed and efficiency of vehicle travel, factors such as airway narrowing or mucus blockages, which are common in asthma, can obstruct the passage of inhaled medications through the airways. Our team has now optimized advanced medical imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT), required to investigate this. This study will use these imaging methods to visually assess and measure individual patients' airways and determine whether abnormal airway structures impact how well they respond to inhaled and orally delivered medications. We anticipate finding that abnormal airway structures make inhaled medications less effective, but that they do not affect the response to oral medications.
