Study Notes
Tranquilizers
- Anti-anxiety medications often do not cause sedation, but rather calm patients while maintaining awareness of surroundings, using a lower FAS score.
- These medications do not provide strong pain relief (analgesia).
- Many tranquilizers affect dopamine and alpha-1 receptors.
- Some, like phenothiazines, affect dopamine, alpha-1, muscarinic, and histamine receptors.
Acepromazine
- Blocks various receptors, affecting dopamine, alpha-1, muscarinic, and histamine receptors.
- Available in injectable and oral forms.
- Produces mild sedation.
- Is non-reversible.
- Should not be used with MDR1 gene dogs.
- Can cause nictitating membrane prolapse, which is a normal reaction.
- Prevents histamine release, acting as an anti-emetic.
- Suitable for treating opioid-related distress.
- Potential for undesirable side effects (e.g., aggression, hyperactivity, penile prolapse in stallions).
- May cause mild sedation.
Trazadone
- A serotonin antagonist.
- Administered orally.
- Has anti-anxiety properties and mild sedative effects.
- A wide therapeutic index.
- Avoid concurrent use with certain drugs (e.g., tramadol).
Benzodiazepine Derivatives
- Diazepam (Valium) is a GABA receptor antagonist.
- Administration methods include intravenous, intramuscular, and rectal routes.
- It's reversible with flumazenil.
- May cause paradoxical excitation in some patients.
- Can stimulate appetite.
- Useful as an anticonvulsant.
- Minimal cardiovascular and respiratory side effects are possible.
- Diazepam can cause skin irritation if administered intramuscularly.
- Not an analgesic, but decreases the perception of pain.
- Midazolam is 3 times more potent than diazepam, causes less tissue irritation, and doesn't mix well with other drugs. It's administered intravenously or rectally.
- Lorazepam can be administered orally.
Alpha 2 Adrenergic Agonists
- These drugs decrease norepinephrine release and oppose the sympathetic nervous system.
- Result in profound sedation and muscle relaxation.
- These are not analgesics but decrease pain perception.
- Dexmedetomidine is reversible with atipamezole and is a biphasic compound, which may lead to hypertension from vasoconstriction and bradycardia when the heart compensates by slowing.
- Xylazine, medetomidine, and detomidine (reversible with tolazone) are other alpha-2 adrenergic agonists.
