Drugs Flashcards
Anticholinergic drugs
Atropine - (BBB & BPB)
Glycopyrolate - longer
Uses of Anticholinergics
Tx of Bradycardia caused by vagal stimualtion
Anticholinergics Effects CNS CV Resp Analgesia Reversible
CNS - No effects CV - Vasoconstriction --> dumps blood into central compartment --> Increase SV --> increase HR Resp - Increase via Bronchodilation Analgesia - NO Reversible - NO
Other facts about Anticholinergics
Increase sphincter tone
mydriasis (dilation of the pupil)
** Decrease GI Motility **
decrease mucus secretions
Phenothiazine drugs
Acepromazine (4-6hrs)
Uses of Phenothiazines like Ace.
Pre-med
Sedation in combo w/opioids or alpha 2 agonists
Phenothiazine (Ace.) Effects CNS CV Resp Analgesia Reversible
Ace - D2 antag/ A1 antag CNS - Anti-emetic; No ataxia; Sedation CV- vasodilation --> decrease BP; protects heart from catecholamine induced arrhythmias; adrenaline reversal; if act on B2 receptors --> double vasodilation --> severe decrease in BP Resp- NO Analgesia - NO Reversible - NO
Other facts about Phenothiazine (Ace.)
Antiemetic
negative thermoregulation (poikilothermic)
Paraphimosis
Priapism
decrease PCV –> RBC sequestering in spleen
Butryophenone drugs
Azaperone
Butyrophenone uses
Sedation ONLY in pigs
in combo with ketamine for anx
Butyrophenone effects CNS CV Resp Analgesia Reversible
CNS- sedation with no ataxia CV- Vasodilation; decrease BP Resp- NO Analgesia - NO Reversible- NO
Other facts about Butyrophenone (Azaperone)
Like Ace
S/E less pronounced
Alpha 2 Agonists - Drugs
shortest acting to longest acting Xylazine Detomidine Ramifidine Medatomadine Dexdomitor
A2 agonists Uses
Premed - alone or in combo with opioids
Sedation - +/- opioids
Balanced Anx
Periop Anx
A2 Agonist Effects CNS CV Resp Analgesia Reversible
CNS- sedation; muscle relax; CAVE- horses and aggressive dogs
CV- Vasoconstriction –> increase BP –> decrease HR; bradyarrhythmia; centrally mediated hypotension
Resp- decrease RR; Lung edema in ruminants esp sheep
Analgesia- Yes
Reversible - Yes; Atipamazole (dexmedetomidine and medetomidine); Yohimbine (xylazine) ; Tolazaline (xylazine)
Other facts about A2 agonists
***Emetic*** Hypothermia decrease GI motility increase urine production ***Hyperglycemia***
Benzodiazepine drugs
Diazepam
Midazolam
Zolazepam
Benzodiaz. uses
Sedation
Muscle relax
good in compromised pts
Benzodiaz. effects CNS CV Resp Analgesia Reversible
CNS- sedation, muscle relax, anticonvulsant
CV- NO
Resp- Minimal but increase resp depression caused by anesthetics
Analgesia- Minimal
Reversible - Flumazenil
Other facts about Benzos
CAVE horses
In healthy adults +/- paradoxic runs
Only good in young/old
Central Muscle Relaxants drugs
Guaifenesin
Zolazepam ?????
Guaifenesin (central mus. relax.) uses
ONLY in horses to improve muscle relax in combo with ketamine
Guaifenesin (central mus. relax.) effects CNS CV Resp Analgesia Reversible
CNS- Central MM relax.; Anticonvulsant; Ataxia CV- NO Resp- Minimal Analgesia - NO Reversible - NO
