Dextromethorphan acts on Medula part of brain to suppress cough centre , hence it's a
-
Bronchodialator
-
Mucolytic agent
-
Nasal decongestant
-
Antitussive agent
Correct Answer
A. Antitussive agentExplanation
Dextromethorphan is classified as an antitussive agent because it acts on the medulla, which is a part of the brain responsible for controlling the cough center. By suppressing the cough center in the brain, dextromethorphan helps to reduce the urge to cough. This makes it an effective treatment for coughs and is why it is classified as an antitussive agent.Rate this question:

Terbutaline & Levosalbutamol acts as a Beta2 agonist drug, hence these are
-
Mucokinetic agents
-
Bronchodilators
-
Mucolytic agents
-
Nasal Decongestants
Correct Answer
A. BronchodilatorsExplanation
Terbutaline and Levosalbutamol are classified as bronchodilators because they act as Beta2 agonist drugs. Bronchodilators work by relaxing and widening the airways in the lungs, making it easier for individuals to breathe. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it helps to alleviate symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath. Mucokinetic agents, mucolytic agents, and nasal decongestants have different mechanisms of action and are not classified as bronchodilators.Rate this question:

Chlorphenaramine maleate acts on H1 receptor as antagonist hence it's a
-
Anti Allergic agent
-
Nasal Decongestant
-
Mucolytic agent
-
Bronchodialator
Correct Answer
A. Anti Allergic agentExplanation
Chlorphenaramine maleate acts as an antagonist on the H1 receptor. This means that it blocks the action of histamine, which is released during allergic reactions. By blocking the H1 receptor, chlorphenaramine maleate helps to alleviate symptoms of allergies such as sneezing, itching, and runny nose. Therefore, it is classified as an anti-allergic agent.Rate this question:

Guaiphenesine is a Mucokinetic agent
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Guaiphenesine is classified as a mucokinetic agent, which means it helps to thin and loosen mucus in the respiratory tract. This can help to facilitate the removal of mucus and improve breathing. Therefore, the statement "Guaiphenesine is a mucokinetic agent" is true.Rate this question:

Ambroxol is a
-
Mucokinetic agent
-
Mucolytic agent
-
Anti allergic
-
None
Correct Answer
A. Mucolytic agentExplanation
Ambroxol is classified as a mucolytic agent. Mucolytic agents are medications that help to break down and thin out mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and clear from the lungs. Ambroxol works by increasing the production of a substance called surfactant, which helps to reduce the viscosity of mucus. This makes it an effective treatment for conditions such as bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory disorders where there is excessive mucus production.Rate this question:

Sodium Citrate in Cough syrup helps to increase respiratory acidosis
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Sodium citrate in cough syrup does not help to increase respiratory acidosis. In fact, sodium citrate is commonly used as an alkalizing agent to help reduce acidity in the body. It works by neutralizing excess acid and can be used to treat conditions such as heartburn or urinary tract infections. Therefore, the statement is incorrect and the answer is false.Rate this question:

The recommended physiological ratio of MI & DCI is
-
40:2
-
40:1
-
1:40
-
2:40
Correct Answer
A. 40:1Explanation
The recommended physiological ratio of MI (Mechanical Inflation) to DCI (Deflation and Compressions) is 40:1. This means that for every 40 compressions performed, there should be one mechanical inflation. This ratio is important in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) as it ensures adequate blood flow to the heart and brain during chest compressions while allowing for brief periods of ventilation. Maintaining this ratio helps to optimize the chances of successful resuscitation in a cardiac arrest scenario.Rate this question:

Evacure increases the frequency of menstrual cycle by _____ fold.
Correct Answer
6, Six, sixExplanation
Evacure increases the frequency of the menstrual cycle by a factor of 6.Rate this question:
- 10.
Evacure should be taken before meal
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Evacure should be taken before a meal because it is likely a medication that needs to be absorbed on an empty stomach for optimal effectiveness. Taking it before a meal ensures that the medication is properly absorbed into the bloodstream without interference from food. This is a common instruction for many medications to ensure their efficacy.Rate this question:
-
- 11.
Xone O is available as
-
Controlled released tablet
-
Sustained released tablet
-
Captab
-
Bi-layered tablet
Correct Answer
A. Bi-layered tabletExplanation
Xone O is available as a bi-layered tablet. A bi-layered tablet consists of two distinct layers, each with its own purpose. This design allows for controlled and sustained release of the active ingredients. The first layer releases the drug immediately, providing an initial dose, while the second layer releases the drug gradually over an extended period of time. This ensures a steady and continuous release of the medication, optimizing its effectiveness and providing long-lasting relief.Rate this question:
-

Mechanism of action of Ofloxacin in Xone O tab is
-
Inhibits cell wall synthesis
-
Stops DNA replication
-
Inhibits Protein synthasis at Ribosome
-
Breaks the DNA strand
Correct Answer
A. Stops DNA replicationExplanation
Ofloxacin, the active ingredient in Xone O tab, stops DNA replication. This means that it interferes with the process of DNA duplication, preventing the bacteria from replicating their genetic material. By inhibiting DNA replication, Ofloxacin effectively hinders the growth and multiplication of bacteria, making it an effective antibiotic for treating infections.Rate this question:

Rantidine efficacy goes down after 24 days of administration
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
The statement is false because the efficacy of Ranitidine does not decrease after 24 days of administration. Ranitidine is a medication commonly used to reduce stomach acid production and treat conditions like heartburn and ulcers. Its efficacy remains consistent throughout the course of treatment and does not diminish after a specific duration.Rate this question:

Rantidine increases blood alcohol concentration by decreasing the first pass metabolism of ethanol
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Rantidine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called H2 blockers. These drugs work by reducing the production of stomach acid. While rantidine is primarily used to treat conditions like heartburn and ulcers, it has also been found to increase blood alcohol concentration. This is because rantidine inhibits the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which is responsible for the first pass metabolism of ethanol in the stomach. As a result, less ethanol is metabolized in the stomach and more is absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to an increase in blood alcohol concentration. Therefore, the statement "Rantidine increases blood alcohol concentration by decreasing the first pass metabolism of ethanol" is true.Rate this question:

More than 80% of patients of diabetes suffer from _________type of diabetes
-
Type 1
-
Type 2
-
Gestational
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Type 2Explanation
More than 80% of patients with diabetes suffer from Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition in which the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. It is the most common form of diabetes and is often associated with lifestyle factors such as obesity and physical inactivity. Unlike Type 1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease, Type 2 diabetes can often be managed through diet, exercise, and medication. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and affects a smaller percentage of women.Rate this question:

Clavulanic acid works by inhibiting the synthesis of cell wall of bacteria
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
Clavulanic acid is a beta-lactamase inhibitor, not a cell wall synthesis inhibitor. It is used in combination with certain antibiotics to prevent the breakdown of the antibiotic by bacterial enzymes, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the antibiotic against bacteria. Therefore, the statement that clavulanic acid inhibits the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall is false.Rate this question:
