Which of the following is an expected side effect of atropine?
Cause pupillary constriction
Cause inhibition of excessive salivation
Cause bradycardia
Cause mild sedation

Cause inhibition of excessive salivation.
Atropine functions as a sympathetic, competitive antagonist of muscarinic
cholinergic receptors. It inhibits salivary secretions, causes increased heart
rate, and causes dilation of pupils. It is not a sedative.
Which of the following medications would be beneficial to a patient who is being treated
for an NSAID overdose?
Cortisone
Potassium
Misoprostol
Lactulose
Give this one a try later!
Misoprostol is a protective prostaglandin used to treat overdoses of NSAIDs,
and helps to provide protection to the gastric mucosa.
Overdoses of NSAIDS would cause a high incidence of gastric damage or
ulceration. Other concerns would be liver or kidney damage. Potassium
would not provide any protection against these effects. Cortisone (or any
type of steroid) would be contraindicated in a toxicity such as this as it may
exacerbate the signs. Lactulose is a stool softener and would not be
beneficial to the GI tract.
,Which drug is known as an ACE-inhibitor?
Acepromazine
Enalapril
Diphenhydramine
Metoclopramide
Give this one a try later!
Enalapril.
Ace-inhibitors like enalapril are vasodilators which block angiotensin-
converting enzyme to prevent angiotensin II (a vacosconstrictor) and
aldosterone (causes sodium retention) from forming. Ace-inhibitors help to
relax smooth muscle in the arterioles and veins. They are most commonly
used in cases of heart and kidney disease.
Note that ace-inhibitor drugs usually end in a "pril" (benazapril, captopril,
enalapril, etc.)
How many milligrams are in 100 ml of a 3% solution?
3,000 mg
30 mg
3 mg
0.3 mg
, Give this one a try later!
A 3% solution is equal to 30 mg/mL.
Now take 100 mL X 30 mg/mL = 3000 mg= 3 grams (since there are 1000 mg in
1 gram)
What is the most frequently observed side effect associated with acepromazine use in
geldings?
Arrhythmias
Hypotension
Paraphimosis
Seizures
Give this one a try later!
The correct answer is hypotension. Acepromazine will reliably cause
hypotension. Acepromazine may cause paraphimosis in male horses, but this
is uncommon. However, due to the risk of paraphimosis, many veterinarians
will not use acepromazine on stallions. Acepromazine actually has anti-
arrhythmogenic properties. Acepromazine does reduce the seizure threshold,
but seizures are not as common as hypotension.
