Several agents have become available and are now licensed for use in a number of countries. The principle actions of all alpha<sub>2</sub> adrenoceptor agonists are similar, in that they produce a reduction in heart rate and alteration of heart rhythm, an initial hypertension followed by a prolonged hypotension, a decrease in tile cardiac output and respiratory depression. For clinical purposes, these agents produce sedation and analgesia, they are useful for premedication and markedly potentiate the effects of other sedative/analgesic agents. Differences in receptor specificity between the alpha<sub>2</sub> adrenoceptor agonists results in the distinguishing characteristics of the individual agents, particularly with respect to their duration of action, sedative effect and analgesic properties; their cardiopulmonary effects are however similar, when equipotent sedative closes are administered. When used in combination with other agents, the alpha<sub>2</sub> adrenoceptor agonists all appear to act in a similar manner, with the greatest difference being related to their duration of action.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100203,"journal":{"name":"British Veterinary Journal","volume":"152 6","pages":"Pages 641-657"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0007-1935(96)80118-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19943000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
