be given ________ mg ________ times a day.

nervous system?
digoxin - ANSWER>>>This drug has an unusual combination of effects, namely increased inotropy and
decreased heart rate.
lidocaine - ANSWER>>>When used to provide local anesthesia, this drug may be mixed with epinephrine
to prolong the local anesthetic effect and to reduce bleeding.
enalapril - ANSWER>>>This drug is used to provide balanced vasodilation (both arteries and veins) in
animals with heart failure and hypertension.
blocking β1 adrenergic receptors - ANSWER>>>The drugs propranolol, atenolol, and sotalol work by:
absorbed in an inactive form and activated by biotransformation - ANSWER>>>Enalapril is a "prodrug".
This means that it is:
epinephrine - ANSWER>>>Adverse effects of this emergency drug include excitability, hypertension and
cardiac arrhythmias.
blocking Ca++ channels - ANSWER>>>The drugs amlodipine and diltiazem work by:
lidocaine - ANSWER>>>Cats are very sensitive to this drug and therefore require lower doses than dogs.
