The compound is probably made in a lab.  It probably has a starting reagent that looks similar to the product. The image from "the nothing"  shows the structure of the material.  The way that it work it prevents inflammation from occurring in the nasal passages by blocking certain biological processes from happening.   Basically it is an anti-inflammatory drug.

You were close by looking at wikipedia. The image is a ball and stick but you could figure it out. The description says it is just fatty acids (usually alkyl C16-C18) chains attached by an ester bond to the hydroxyls of a sucrose molecule (8 fatty acids).

Like any medication, there is rarely a best.  Each person reacts differently to different medications.  Medications are usually judged on two major criteria: safety (ie. Does it give any harmful side effects?) and efficacy (Does it actually make you feel better?).  Your doctor will be the best person to talk to in order to decide on which medication is best for you.  \n\nThere are a number of medications that are available for COPD.  There are bronchodilators such as Ventolin (salbutamol), Serevent(salmeterol), and the newest Spiriva(tiotropium bromide)- these generally are used to relieve shortness of breath and open up the airways to the lungs.  There are long-acting and short-acting bronchodilators.  This is the largest class of drugs used for COPD.\n\nThere are oral (prednisone) or inhaled corticosteroids, including Flovent (fluticasone), Pulmicort (budesonide).  These are more for treating inflammation in the lungs, and only help a small portion of COPD sufferers.  This class of drugs was first developed to treat asthma patients, which is a different pathology.  New research, however, shows that there are more common elements to asthma and COPD than pulmonologists had once believed.  As such, they are seeing that some COPDers benefit from asthma medications.\n\nThere have been studies that link COPD to an inflammatory response via the phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) pathway and new drugs are currently being tested that could make it to market.  Ariflo (cilomilast) is the drug that is the closest to being approved, with other drug candidates coming from Bayer and Byk Gulden also being developed.  If your COPD is relatively advanced, and your quality of life has not improved greatly, PDE-4 medications may offer an alternative.  However, one compound from Merck was discontinued due to safety concerns because the drug caused one case of colitis.  \n\nMuch like all drugs, one must seriously weigh the benefits and risks.  This is an exercise best performed with a trained physician or pulmonologist.  Best of luck.

Do you mean cytomel?  Also known as T3.  You can buy it online.  Here is an example\n\nhttp://www.pharmanabolics.com/anabolicshop/catalog/default.php/cPath/25?ref=2349\n\nBut don't stop here.  Make sure you compare prices, because sometimes the difference in price can be astronomical.

This is a great medication, I was around when it was just introduced in the clinical setting and after, there are a lot of people who have regained lung volumes! Thought never to be able to happen with copd patients.\nThe answer is right about not using atrovent, what it does is because sprieva is a longer acting atrovent they compete for the same receptor and if you have too much atrovent in there the spireva is just wasted and useless.\n\nspiriva is great!

It's Glucosamine.  If you're thinking of taking it, look into the kind with Condroitin and MSM.  You might want to ask your doc.  Mine said it's okay to take, whether/or how much it helps is individual, but I feel better after six months.

#i think shes still young enough to benefit from intal inhaler(sodium cromoglycate)\n#it would be nice to consider decreasing the dose of inhaled steroid to minimum effective.\n#singulaire is directed against chemicals in the body involved in the asthma/allergy response therefore it is more of a symptom control drug,i read that it is most appropriate for exercise induced asthma,i dont think it is appropriate for a child at that age.\n# correct diagnosis is always key. maybe she doesnt have allergy , but rather a form of chronic bronchiolitis?\ndistinguishing is vital.\n# if allergy is confirmed then maybe desensitization could help?(desensitization is a technique where an allergic person is gradually exposed to increasing doses of the allergic substanc until he becomes unsensitive to it,it worked for a lot of people.

Medication as prescribed by the doctor - may be prednisone, albuterol, etc.\n\nAvoiding asthmatic triggers - allergic triggers or activity induced. You need to know what triggers your asthma and avoid that.

Surfactants are agents such as a detergent or a drug that reduces the surface tension of liquids so that the liquid spreads out, rather than collecting in droplets.\n\nIn physiology,  they are surface-active lipoprotein substances secreted naturally in the lungs, lack of which causes respiratory problems especially in premature babies

Albuterol is a bronchodilator which means it helps the airways or bronchials relax and expand to allow more air to pass. It is used to treat asthma and bronchospasm. Since it is a bronchodilator that is all it can treat. In tablet or syrup form it will begin to work in 30 minutes and lasts up to 8 hours and long acting up to 12 hours. An inhalation treatment with albuterol either by way of metered dose inhaler or by nebulizer will take effect in 5 minutes. It is a drug that is considered very safe and can be used by children as well as adults.
