Unfortunately, not much information is available on this for several of those medications in dogs. In human medicine, we do know that some drugs are contraindicated when giving ivermectin (1).

Propentofylline was studied as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease and multi-infarct dementia, [1] [4] and has been studied, to a lesser extent, as a possible adjunct in the treatment of ischemic stroke, due to its vasodilating properties. [5] [6] Propentofylline is in use as a veterinary medicine in older dogs. [7]
Individual dogs of any breed can have a profound reaction characterized by hypotension, especially if there is an underlying heart problem. In giant-breed dogs and sighthounds, the sedative effects of acepromazine may last for 12–24 hours, which is much longer than the usual 3–4 hours. [16] [20]
