Drugs (MC) Flashcards
Anticholinergic drugs
Atropine - (BBB & BPB)Glycopyrolate - longer
Uses of Anticholinergics
Tx of Bradycardia caused by vagal stimualtion
Anticholinergics EffectsCNSCVRespAnalgesia Reversible
CNS - No effectsCV - Vasoconstriction –> dumps blood into central compartment –> Increase SV –> increase HRResp - Increase via BronchodilationAnalgesia - NOReversible - NO
Other facts about Anticholinergics
Increase sphincter tonemydriasis (dilation of the pupil)** Decrease GI Motility **decrease mucus secretions
Phenothiazine drugs
Acepromazine (4-6hrs)
Uses of Phenothiazines like Ace.
Pre-medSedation in combo w/opioids or alpha 2 agonists
Phenothiazine (Ace.) EffectsCNS CVResp AnalgesiaReversible
Ace - D2 antag/ A1 antagCNS - Anti-emetic; No ataxia; SedationCV- vasodilation –> decrease BP; protects heart from catecholamine induced arrhythmias; adrenaline reversal; if act on B2 receptors –> double vasodilation –> severe decrease in BPResp- NOAnalgesia - NOReversible - NO
Other facts about Phenothiazine (Ace.)
Antiemeticnegative thermoregulation (poikilothermic)ParaphimosisPriapismdecrease PCV –> RBC sequestering in spleen
Butryophenone drugs
Azaperone
Butyrophenone uses
Sedation ONLY in pigsin combo with ketamine for anx
Butyrophenone effectsCNSCVResp AnalgesiaReversible
CNS- sedation with no ataxiaCV- Vasodilation; decrease BPResp- NOAnalgesia - NOReversible- NO
Other facts about Butyrophenone (Azaperone)
Like Ace S/E less pronounced
Alpha 2 Agonists - Drugs
shortest acting to longest actingXylazine DetomidineRamifidineMedatomadineDexdomitor
A2 agonists Uses
Premed - alone or in combo with opioidsSedation - +/- opioidsBalanced AnxPeriop Anx
A2 Agonist EffectsCNSCV Resp AnalgesiaReversible
CNS- sedation; muscle relax; CAVE- horses and aggressive dogsCV- Vasoconstriction –> increase BP –> decrease HR; bradyarrhythmia; centrally mediated hypotensionResp- decrease RR; Lung edema in ruminants esp sheepAnalgesia- YesReversible - Yes; Atipamazole (dexmedetomidine and medetomidine); Yohimbine (xylazine) ; Tolazaline (xylazine)
Other facts about A2 agonists
EmeticHypothermiadecrease GI motilityincrease urine productionHyperglycemia
Benzodiazepine drugs
DiazepamMidazolamZolazepam
Benzodiaz. uses
SedationMuscle relaxgood in compromised pts
Benzodiaz. effectsCNSCVResp AnalgesiaReversible
CNS- sedation, muscle relax, anticonvulsantCV- NOResp- Minimal but increase resp depression caused by anestheticsAnalgesia- Minimal Reversible - Flumazenil
Other facts about Benzos
CAVE horsesIn healthy adults +/- paradoxic runsOnly 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.) effectsCNSCV Resp AnalgesiaReversible
CNS- Central MM relax.; Anticonvulsant; AtaxiaCV- NOResp- Minimal Analgesia - NOReversible - NO
