digoxin (lanoxin)

positive inotropes

propranolol is for

Arrhythmias

telmisartan (semintra)

angiotensin receptor blockers. treats hypertension in cats.

coumarin

type of anticoagulant binds vitamin K thereby inhibiting the formation of prothrombin. coumarin derivatives are used for the long-term treatment of thromboembolisms. They are also contained in rodenticide products that may be consumed by dogs and cause toxicity. treatment involves vitamin K. adverse effects include bleeding and weakness

epinephrine is a

Positive inotrope

protamine sulfate

Hemostatic Drug. sulfate is a basic protein used to treat heparin overdose and bracken fern poisoning in cattle. It is given slowly IV and is marketed generically.

hydralazine is for

reducing high blood pressure

silver nitrate

topical hemostatic drug (an agent that constricts tissue) properties to stop capillary bleeding. Staining of skin and clothing

heparin

prevents the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Mainly used in the process of testing blood and in transfusion. used to treat heart disorders such as thromboembolism, where a clot, or thrombus, ig obstructing an artery. does not break down clots, but prevents them from getting bigger. It is also used to treat disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and laminitis in horses. The primary adverse effect risk is bleeding. not effective when administered orally because it is rapidly inactivated by acid in the stomach

available in two forms: low molecular weight and unfractionated

Unfractionated heparins (UFH) have a heterogeneous mixture of glycosaminoglycans that interact with numerous plasma proteins resulting in a wide variation of anticoagulant effects; however, it is much less expensive than LMWH and used more frequently in veterinary medicine. overdose is treated with protamine sulfate. The strongly basic protamine combines with the strongly acidic heparin to form a stable complex with no anticoagulant activity

lidocaine is for

Treating ventricular tachyarrhythmias

alpha 1 catecholamine receptor

constriction of peripheral blood vessels (except GI tract) increased force of heart contraction and mydriasis. constricts blood vessels within the area and prevents rapid diffusion of drug away from the injection site. use epinephrine

alpha 2

inhibits NE release at postganglionic sympathetic synapses. affects CNS by causing sedation, drowsiness, and analgesia, also dilates blood vessels causing hypotension in heart muscle and fatty tissue.

Beta 1

increases heart rate and force of heart contractions, increases blood glucose. increase heart rate and inotropy in animals with decreased cardiac output

beta 2

causes bronchodilation and dilation of blood vessels in skeletal muscle. use to treat feline asthma. locatedin broncial smooth muscle but also in the walls of blood vessels of skeeltal muscle, the brain, and the heart. relaxes the muscles and causes bronci dialation
