Intro to Pharmacology
This abbreviation indicates the left eye.
What is OS?
This Schedule of controlled substances contain drugs that are legal to prescribe and also have the highest potential for diversion or abuse.
What is Schedule II?
This anticholinergic drug is ineffective in rabbits and is the treatment of choice for organophosphate toxicosis.
What is atropine?
This drug antagonizes the mu-opioid receptor to reverse the effects of opioids.
What is naloxone?
This class of antibiotics are known to be concentration-dependent, and oto- and nephrotoxicity are known potential side effects.
What are aminoglycosides?
This is the period of time between when the last dose of drug has been given and when a production animal, or its products, are considered safe for human consumption.
What is withdrawal time?
This is the fluid pump setting for a 12-kg patient that needs 60 ml/kg/day of IV fluids.
What is 30 mL/hr?
What is decrease?
A gas anesthetic with a high (blank) is less potent than another gas anesthetic.
What is minimum alveolar concentration (MAC)?
This drug is one of the few treatments effective against tapeworms.
What is praziquantel?
This is what ADME stands for.
What is absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination/excretion?
This electrolyte found in Lactated Ringer's solution can cause formation of precipitates when combined with blood products.
What is calcium?
This SSRI is FDA-approved for the treatment of separation anxiety in dogs.
What is fluoxetine?
This is the part of the pain pathway in which thermal, mechanical, or chemical noxious stimuli are converted into electrical impulses called action potentials.
What is transduction?
This is the mechanism of action of penicillins and cephalosporines
What is inhibit cell wall synthesis?
This is the study of how drugs move into, through, and out of the body, including ADME.
What is pharmacokinetics?
(Blank) solutions are crystalloid fluids considered maintenance fluids and can be given rapidly to treat shock or dehydration?
What are isotonic solutions?
This newer anticonvulsant has minimal side effects, does not need blood level monitoring, and comes in an extended-release formulation for easier compliance.
What is levatiracetam?
The mechanism of action of this class of drugs is to inhibit the release of norepinephrine.
What are alpha-2 agonists?
This class of antibiotics must be used with caution in young growing dogs due to risk of cartilage damage, and in cats due to risk of blindness.
This is the study of how a drug affects the body, including side effects.
What is pharmacodynamics?
This is the typical percent solution of NaCl that is hypertonic and is used to cause an immediate, but temporary, fluid shift from the interstitial space to the vascular space and is used for emergent resuscitation in severe hypovolemia, head trauma, or hyponatremia? (I am looking for a percentage number)
What is 7.5%
This anticholinergic is preferred for use in horses.
What is glycopyrrolate?
What is solubility coefficient?
Certain drugs from this class of antibiotics are used to treat chronic colitis or Coccidiosis.
What are sulfonamides?
