7.8 hour s
What medicine can control post op pain and inflammation associated with orthopedic urgent
Deracoxib
MOA of deracoxib

1 - 2 mg/kg Sid
What drug can help control post op pain and inflammation in dogs with soft tissue surgery
RObenaxocib
What drug can be used to control post op pain and inflammation in cats with ortho, OVE, castration
Robenacoxib
Carprofen
Arylpropionic acid class of NSAIDs , reverse inhibitor of COX
What percent of carprofen is absorbed in 1 - 3 hours
90%
Half life of carprofen
8 hours
What percent of carprofen is bound to plasma proteins
99%
How is carprofen processed in the body
Bio transformation by the liver, eliminated in the feces and urine
Which receptor does grapiprant block
PGE2
Why would you use grapiprant in renal disease dog
Does not block the receptors aociated with renal
What does Previcox inhibit
Cox - 2
Another name for Robenacoxib
Onsior
Half life of onsior in circulating blood
0.5 - 1 hours
Onsior accumulates at
Site of inflammation
How is onsior eliminated
Biliary route
Which drug can improve use of limbs in naturally occurring OA
Carprofen
Side effect of carprofen
GI and idiosyncratic hepatopathy
Meloxicam useful in
Hyp dysplasia
Peak conc of meloxicam
8 hours
Meloxicam formulated as
Syrup
Meloxicam has some of what action
COX - 2 selectivity
Etodolac
Effective inhibitor of PGE2 synthesis by chondrocytes and synoviocytes
Etodolac is effective in
Improving lameness of hipdysplasia
Etodolac adverse reaction
GI and ulcers
Slow acting disease modifying agents are called
Chondroprotective agent
Chondroprotective agents have positive effects
Cartilage matrix synthesis , HA synthesis, and inhibit catabolic enzymes in OA joints
Adeuqan is made from
Bovine tracheal cartilage
Adequan
Injectionable prep of highly updated GAGs
Max blood conc of adequan
20 - 40 mins after IM
Adequan distributes to
Tissues, body fluids, incl articular cartilage, synovial fluid, skeletal muscle
Why is synovial membrane not a significant barrier from blood to synovial fluid
Low molecular weight
Adequan highest uptake
Superficial layers of cartilage and lowest uptake near subchondral layer
Adequan has predilection for
Inflamed or diseased tissues
HA stimulates synthesis of HA by
Fibroblast and synovial cells
Is tramadol an opioid
No
Does tramadol work well for OA pain
No
NMDA receptor anatgonist is used as an
Adjuctive drug to improve the control of pain
what is mediated by activation of NMDA receptor
Central sensitization of pain receptors
Most common oral NMDA receptor anatagonist
Amantadine
Amantadine must be given how
Continual basic
How is Amantadine eliminated
Kidneys
Side effects of Amantadine
Rare - agitation or diarrhea
Gabapentin
Anti convulsant with purported adjuctive analgeic action
1 goal in life long management of OA
Weight control
Nutraceuticals purported to have beneficial effects on
Cartilage matrix synthesis, HA synthesis by synovial membrane and catabolic enzymes
What should you be cautious of with adequan
Disturbances of blood coagulation
What is injectable HA
Nonsulfated GAG made from rooster combs or bacterial culture
HA can interact with what in the articular cartilage
Aggrecan monomers
Injectable HA may help to restore
Viscosity of synovial fluid
HA can have direct inhibition of
White blood cell and enzyme chemotaxis
HA can also reduce
Nitric oxide production in the meniscus and synovium
Gabapentin is mainly for
Neuropathic pain
Gabapentin
Anti convulsant with purported adjuctive analgesic action
MOA gaba
Unknown, may involve inhibition of posy synaptic neuron firing
Gabapentin is metabolized by
The liver and excreted by the kidneys
What are the side effects of Gabapentin
Sedation and weight gain
Most common nutritional supplements
Omega 3 fatty acids
PUFA competitively inhibit
Conversion of arachnids is acid to eicosanoids by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase
PUFA supplements decrease
Membrane AA levels, decreasing substrates to synthesize eicosanoids
PUFA form
Eicosapentaenoic acid - EPa
EPA gives rise to
3 series PGs and 5 series leukotrienes which are weakly inflammatory
Glucosamine
An amino monosaccharide used in synthesis of disaccharide units of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans

Glucosamine
Chondroitin sulfates are
Glycosaminoglycans
Typical sources
