Cholestyramine is a medication that is commonly used to treat bile acid malabsorption, which is often caused by biliary obstruction. Biliary obstruction occurs when there is a blockage in the bile ducts, preventing the flow of bile from the liver to the small intestine. Cholestyramine helps to relieve symptoms by binding to bile acids in the intestine and promoting their elimination from the body.

Vecuronium is a neuromuscular blocker used during surgery to induce muscle relaxation and paralysis. It acts by blocking the transmission of nerve signals to the muscles, allowing for easier intubation and preventing muscle movement during procedures. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Milrinone is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used to treat heart failure. Finasteride is a medication used to treat enlarged prostate and male pattern baldness. Therefore, the correct answer is Vecuronium.

- Alendronate
- Etoposide

Correct Answer

A. Alendronate

Explanation

Alendronate is not an antineoplastic drug because it is primarily used to treat osteoporosis by inhibiting bone resorption. It belongs to a class of medications known as bisphosphonates, which work by slowing down the breakdown of bone. On the other hand, Etoposide, Carmustine, and Gemcitabine are all antineoplastic drugs commonly used in the treatment of various types of cancers. Etoposide inhibits the growth of cancer cells, Carmustine is an alkylating agent that interferes with DNA replication, and Gemcitabine is a nucleoside analog that disrupts DNA synthesis.
