Q

Aspirin mechanisms of action

A

COX-1 inhibitor -> reduced synthesis prostaglandins and thromboxanes (TXA2) - platelets can’t create new COX so aspiring can irreversibly effect platlet aggregation - can modify COX-2 to produce asprin-triggered lipotoxin with lipoxygenase which has gastric mucosal protective actions so increased use -> decreased damage overtime

Aspirin side effects

A

-Can have thrombotic effects if given in high doses b/c inhibits PGI2 - NSAID side effects (D+, V+, lethargy, melena, anorexia, less common cardiovascular or hepatic side effects) - Severe blood loss -> secondary anemia or hypoprotenimia - cats may develop acidosis

Q

atipamezol mechanism of action

A

-alpha2-adrenergic antagonist - competitively inhibits alpha2-adrenergic receptors (normally alpha-2 adrenergic receptors inhibit release norepinephrine by up regulating negative feedback loop decreasing release norepinephrine -> sedation an alpha2-adrenergic antagonist inhibits the alpha2-adrenergic receptor inhibiting the inhibition of norepinephrine release -> reversal of sedation

Q

carprofen mechanism of action

A

inhibition of cyclooxyrgenase, phospholipase A2, and inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis - somewhat COX-1 sparing in dogs -> fewer COX-1 effects - COX-2 specificity depends on species, dose, tissue - not as COX-2 specific in horses and cats

Q

carprofen side effects

A

Most common but still rare: - V+ - D+ - anorexia - lethargy Rare serious side effects: - hepatocelluar damage - renale dx - hematological effects - ulceration - hepatopathy (liver dysfx bc venous congestion) - neutrophilic dermatosis - more likely to develop renal toxicity if preexisting renal insufficiency, dehydration, sodium depletion - cats prone to renal adverse effects and GI issues (bc limited ability glucuronidate), hepatotoxicity not a big concern

deracoxib mechanism of action

A
  • COXIB class NSAID - predominantly inhibits COX-2 and spare COX-1 (theoretically inhibiting prostaglandins that -> plain and inflammation and sparing those maintaining normal GI and renal fx but not necessarily the case)

25
Diazepam side effects
-Rapid IV admin can -\> hypotension Adverse effects dogs: - sedation - increased appetite - agitation - ataxia - agression - contradictory response (CNS excitation) Adverse effects cats: - behavior changes - idiosyncratic hepatic failure -\> anorexia, lethargy, increased ALT/AST, hyperbilirubinemia
26
Lidocaine trade name
lidoderm, recitare, Xylocaine , Lmx4, Solarcaine
27
Lidocaine drug class
Local Anestetic
28
Lidocaine mechanism of action
From notes: - Na+ channel blockage sensory afferents and vasculature - have to be inside axon membrane to work; must be uncharged when crossing membrane then have nitrogen in amine protonated once inside axonal membrane and bond to Na+ channel and block it - major effect on axonal conduction of action potential - use dependent blockage
29
lidocaine fx
- local and topical anestetic - treatment ventricular arrhythmias Low dose IV lidocaine infusions - hyperalgesia - neuropathic pain states induces by trauma or dx procedures
30
lidocaine side effects
most common (are mild) CNS signs: - drowsiness - depression - ataxia - muscle tremors Other: - nausea - V+ Cardiac effects - at high plasma concentration - changes intervals - may increase ventricular rates in patients w/ a-fib - IV bolus given quickly can -\> hypertension - horses less sensitive to adverse effects lidocaine
31
Mepivacaine trade name

32
Mepivacane drug class
Local aneshetic
33
Mepivacane mechanism of action
- Na+ channel blockage sensory afferents and vasculature - have to be inside axon membrane to work; must be uncharged when crossing membrane then have nitrogen in amine protonated once inside axonal membrane and bond to Na+ channel and block it - major effect on axonal conduction of action potential - use dependent blockage
34
mepivacane fx
- used in cases of inflammation because low Pka so better chance of working in cases of inflammation - used in lameness diagnoses in horses
35
