26

vestibular apparatus
27
name a dopamine antagonist
metoclopramide
28
features of metoclopramide
- DA agonist - antiemetic - crosses BBB - may cause extrapyramidal effects (tremor) - a PROKINETIC (promotes gastric emptying)
29
Name a 5HT3 (serotonin) receptor antagonist. Characteristics?
ondansetron: - antiemetic - may slow colonic transit - expensive
30
Name a neurokinin (NK1) receptor antagonist. Chars.?
Maropitant ("Cerenia"): - antiemetic (acts on vomiting center and CRTZ) - can be used in combo with 5HT3 antagonists, but has many drug interactions - approved for motion sickness
31
Which antiemetics used in dogs but not cats?**
H1 inhibitors DA antagonists (Metoclopramide) Maropitant ("Cerenia") not licensed in cats, but still used
32
name an antimuscarinic. Chars.?
Centrine: - weak antiemetic - reduces SI motility and gastric emptying (paralyzes the gut) - block prokinetics - NOT recommended to use
33
Name 6 PROKINETICS (promoters of GI motility)***
``` metoclopramide** cisapride** 5HT4 agonists** Bethanacol** Ranitidine** Erythromycin Thoracic epidural analgesia for post-op ileus Octreotide ```
34
Cisapride features of note
- prokinetic - serotoninergic agent (mixed 5HT3 antagonist/5HT4 agonist) - promotes Ach release in SI - causes fatal dysrhythmia in humans
35
Bethanacol features of note
- prokinetic | - limited use due to SLUD
36
Ranitidine MOA as a prokinetic
inhibits acetylcholinesterase and blocks H2
37
SLUD =
salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation
38
2 types of motility in the stomach
1) FED: rapid contractions against closed pylorus to churn up food 2) UNFED: housekeeping clearing action about every 100 mins. when stomach is empty. Stimulated by Migrating Myoelectrical Complex (MMC)
39
2 types of contractility in the bowel
propulsive and mixing
40
Prokinetics general MOA
act on enteric nerves to increase cholinergic neurotransmission. They increase strength of propulsive contractions, improve antroduodenal coordination, and smooth m. tone.
41
Octreotide features of note
- an antiemetic - a somatostatin analog - must be given frequently - expensive, not used frequently
42
Name 3 types of antidiarrheals
1) morphine agonists (loperamide, diphenoxalate) 2) inhibitors of SI secretion (bismuth subsalicylate) 3) absorbents (kaolin, activated charcoal)
43
Name 2 morphine agonist antidiarrheals
Loperamide, Diphenoxalate
44
Loperamide features of note***
- morphine agonist (antidiarrheal) - slows transit and aids absorption - does NOT cross BBB, doesn't cause sedation - is like a cork!
45
Diphenoxalate features of note**
-morphine agonist (antidiarrheal) -slows transit and aids absorption slightly crosses BBB, can cause some sedation -also inhibits secretion
46
Name an inhibitor of SI secretion. MOA?
``` bismuth subsalicylate ("Pepto Bismol"): inhibits PG and cAMP ```
47
Name 2 absorbent antidiarrheals
Kaolin, Activated Charchoal
48

G+ and -
50
What kind of bacteria are in lower intestine?**
G- and anaerobes
51
advantage of enrofloxacin. When should you use it?**
Doesn't disrupt anaerobes | -use for Salmonella, acute pancreatitis, Boxer Colitis
52
What abx should be used for clostridial colitis?
metronidazole tylosin vancomycin
53
What tx should be used for Helicobacter?
combination of PPI (omeprazole) and abx

tx for Small Intestinal Dysbiosis/SI Bacterial Overgrowth***
tetracycline metronidazole tylosin
55
Name anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents

56
Sulfasalazine MOA
- anti-inflamm/immunosuppressive - acts like aspirin - inhibits prostaglandin prod. - a pro-drug
57
Name 2 osmotic agents that act as laxatives
magnesium sulfate | Colyte
58
Name 6 laxatives and their MOA
magnesium sulfate (osmotic agent) colyte (osmotic agent) psyllium (bulk forming osmotic agent-soluble fiber) lactulose (bulk forming osmotic agent-insoluble fiber) mineral oil (lubricant) petrolatum (lubricant)
59
Name 5 agents that treat round worms
Benzimidazoles (i.e. Panacur) Pyrantel (strongid) Ivermectin Emodepside (Profender)
60
What treats tapeworm?
Praziquantel (Droncit)
61
Which agents treat whipworms?**
``` Fenbendazole (Panacur) Febantel (in Drontal Plus) Moxidectin (in Advantage Multi) Milbemycin (interceptor, Trifexis) Emodepside (Profender) ```
62
Probiotics
Population determined by food supply and environment, so must use every day or immediately eliminated. Ex: - Lactobacillus in yogurt - Bacillus cereus - Enterococcus faecium (in Purina)* - Bifidobacterium animalis (in Iams)* - Saccharomyces
63
Prebiotics examples
- oligo-saccharides: FOS, soy - poly-saccharides in soluble fiber: pectins, gums - mixed soluble and insoluble fibers: beet pulp
