    • Acetohexamide

    Correct Answer
    A. Glimepiride
    Explanation
    The given answer, glimepiride, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin and helping the body use insulin more effectively. Glimepiride helps lower blood sugar levels and can be used in combination with other diabetes medications or insulin. It is important to note that this explanation assumes that the question is asking for the correct answer among the list of medications provided.

    • Glimepiride

    • Tolazamide

    • Metformin

    • Rosiglitasone

    Correct Answer
    A. Metformin
    Explanation
    Metformin is the correct answer because it is a medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity in the body. Glucophage, which is also listed, is the brand name for metformin. Glyset, glimepiride, tolazamide, and rosiglitazone are other medications used in the treatment of diabetes, but metformin is the most widely prescribed and recommended as a first-line therapy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Chlorpropamide
    Explanation
    Chlorpropamide is the correct answer because it is the only medication listed that belongs to the sulfonylurea class of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes. Diabinese, repaglinide, nateglinide, starliz, and precose are all different medications used to treat diabetes, but they belong to different drug classes such as meglitinides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and DPP-4 inhibitors. Therefore, chlorpropamide is the only medication that is a sulfonylurea and is the correct answer.

    • Miglitol

    Correct Answer
    A. Acarbose
    Explanation
    Acarbose is the correct answer because it is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by slowing down the digestion of carbohydrates in the body. It helps control blood sugar levels and is commonly prescribed along with a proper diet and exercise program. Precose, Prandin, Avandia, Actos, and Miglitol are also medications used to treat diabetes, but acarbose specifically targets carbohydrate digestion, making it the most appropriate choice among the given options.

    A. Orinase
    Explanation
    Orinase is a brand name for the medication tolbutamide. Tolbutamide is an oral hypoglycemic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin. Therefore, Orinase is the correct answer as it is a brand name for tolbutamide.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is glipizide. Glipizide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. It belongs to a class of drugs called sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin. This helps the body use insulin more effectively and lower blood sugar levels. Glipizide is often prescribed alongside a healthy diet and exercise program to manage diabetes. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and monitor blood sugar levels regularly while taking glipizide.

    Explanation

It belongs to a class of drugs called alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, which work by slowing down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the body. This helps to control blood sugar levels after meals. Glyset, acarbose, and orinase are also alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, while metformin and glyburide belong to different classes of diabetes medications.

    • Micronase

    • Diabeta

    • Glucotrol

    • Acetohexamide

    Explanation
    Repaglinide is the correct answer because it is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called meglitinides, which work by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. Repaglinide helps to lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production. It is commonly prescribed to individuals who are unable to control their diabetes through diet and exercise alone.

    Nateglinide

    • Chlorpropamide

    • Repaglinide

    Correct Answer
    A. Starlix
    Explanation
    Starlix is the brand name for nateglinide, a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, helping to control blood sugar levels. Chlorpropamide and repaglinide are also diabetes medications, but they are not the same as Starlix. Glucophage and Gluconorm are brand names for metformin, another commonly used diabetes medication. Therefore, the correct answer is Starlix because it is the brand name for nateglinide.

  • 13. 

    Glyburide

    • Micronase

    • Amaryl

    • Glimepiride

    • Diabeta

    • Acarbose

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Micronase
    A. Diabeta
    Explanation
    The correct answer includes the names of two medications: micronase and diabeta. These medications are both brand names for the drug glyburide, which is used to treat type 2 diabetes. Glyburide works by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin and by helping the body use insulin more effectively. It is an oral medication that is taken once or twice daily. Amaryl and glimepiride are also medications used to treat type 2 diabetes, but they are not included in the correct answer. Acarbose is another medication used to treat diabetes, but it works differently than glyburide and is not included in the correct answer.
