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

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

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

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

cholinesterase inhibitor
46
edrophonium mechanism of action
cholinesterase agent (aka indirectly acting agonist) - combines with cholinesterases primarily at catalytic binding site forming rapidly reversible enzyme-inhibitor complex - inhibit AChE -\> have more ACh
47

- use for presumptive diagnosis of myasthenia gravis - dramatic positive response to edrophonium suggestive of myasthenia gravis though not 100% guarantee can have false pos and false negs - reversal non depolarizing agents - in ICU setting useful in diagnosis and treatment of some supraventricular arrhythmias
48
edrophonium side effects
Cholinergic in nature - urination - lacrimation (flow of tears) - vomiting - defication - bradycardia - bronchospasm - can use anticholinergic drug like atropine to alleviate these effects
49
anticholinesterase
class of drugs that decrease breakdown of acetylcholine (bc inhibits acetylcholinesterase so inhibit breakdown acetylcholine therefore increasing level and duration of acetylcholine)
50

Meloxicam mechanism of action
COX inhibition
52
Meloxicam fx
- osteoarthritis dogs - single-dose injectable pre op pain and inflammation for cats - studied in horses - pain in calves, sheep, goats, pigs
53
Meloxicam side effects
V+ D+ anorexia lethargy melena rare cardiovascular and hepatic problems Possible GI damage Renal toxicity
54
robenacoxib drug class
NSAID
55
robenacoxib mechanism of action
COX-2 specific inhibitor
56
robenacox side effects
COX2= safer for GI but COX-2 plays role in healing so in animal with subclinical GI dx will slow healing process can -\> stomach perforation or intestine so don't use in animal with subclinical GI Dx V+ D+ anorexia lethargy melena rare cardiovascular and hepatic problems Possible GI damage Renal toxicity
57
robenacoxib fx
post op pain and inflammation cats and dogs
58
grapiprant drug class
NSAID
59
grapiprant mechanism of action
non-cox inhibiting blocks EP4 receptor that is primary mediator OA pain and inflamation
60
grapiprant side effects
likely safer than most NSAIDs because effecting one lower down on pathway
61
grapiprant fx
OA pain and inflammation
