Domperidone in Esokem D is in sustained release form. This means that the medication is designed to be released slowly and steadily over an extended period of time. This allows for a consistent and prolonged effect of the drug, providing a more controlled and sustained therapeutic effect. Controlled release and extended release are also forms of slow release, but in this case, the correct answer is sustained release.

The correct answer is b) Moisture barrier coating. MBC stands for Moisture Barrier Coating, which is a type of coating used to prevent moisture from penetrating a surface or material. This type of coating is commonly used in various industries such as packaging, electronics, and construction to protect products from moisture damage.

The correct answer is "All of the above." This means that all of the options mentioned (Vegetarian Source, No bad odour, No fishy belching) are the unique selling points (USPs) of V & M. In other words, V & M offers a vegetarian source, does not have a bad odour, and does not cause fishy belching.

Nitrogen flushing is the correct answer because it helps to ensure stability and efficacy of Clavulanic Acid post formulation. Nitrogen flushing involves replacing the air inside the container with nitrogen gas, which helps to prevent oxidation and degradation of the Clavulanic Acid. This process creates an oxygen-free environment, which helps to maintain the quality and effectiveness of the medication.

Cefpodoxime proxetil inhibits the cell wall synthesis. The cell wall is an essential component of bacteria that provides structural support and protects the cell from osmotic pressure. By inhibiting the synthesis of the cell wall, cefpodoxime proxetil weakens the bacteria, making it easier for the immune system to eliminate the infection. This mode of action is specific to bacteria and does not affect human cells, making cefpodoxime proxetil an effective antibiotic for treating bacterial infections.

Esokem L is the brand that has to be promoted in refractory GERD. The other options, Esokem D, Esokem 20 mg, and Esokem 40 mg, do not specifically address refractory GERD. Therefore, Esokem L is the most appropriate choice for promoting in this condition.

Esokem is a medication used to treat GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). The correct answer, option c), states that the dose of Esokem for GERD is for 4-8 weeks. This means that the medication should be taken for a duration of 4 to 8 weeks to effectively manage the symptoms of GERD. It is important to follow the prescribed duration of treatment to ensure optimal results and to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

The recommended dose of Rifakem in IBS D is 400mg TID for 14 days. This means that the medication should be taken three times a day at a dosage of 400mg for a duration of 14 days. This dosage and duration of treatment is specifically recommended for individuals with IBS D.

The correct answer is b) Calcium channel antagonist. Anti-spasmodic action refers to the ability of a substance to reduce or prevent muscle spasms. Calcium channel antagonists work by blocking the entry of calcium ions into muscle cells, which helps to relax and prevent excessive muscle contractions. This action can be beneficial in treating conditions such as muscle cramps, menstrual cramps, and certain types of pain.

Rifakem modulates the gut immune signaling, which suggests that it can help regulate the immune response in the gut. This could be beneficial in the case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D), as IBS-D is characterized by abnormal immune activation and inflammation in the gut. By modulating the immune signaling, Rifakem may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms in individuals with IBS-D.

Refractory GERD refers to a condition where a patient with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) shows only a partial response or no response at all to PPI (proton pump inhibitor) therapy. PPIs are commonly prescribed medications for treating GERD by reducing the production of stomach acid. However, in refractory GERD, the symptoms of acid reflux persist despite PPI treatment, indicating a lack of effectiveness. This may require alternative treatment approaches or further investigation to determine the underlying cause of the patient's persistent symptoms.

Rifakem is both bactericidal and bacteriostatic, meaning it can kill bacteria and inhibit their growth. This makes it useful in treating infectious diarrhea, which is caused by bacterial infections in the gastrointestinal tract. Rifakem can help eliminate the bacteria causing the infection and stop their growth, leading to relief from symptoms and resolution of the diarrhea. It is not useful in treating IBS-D (irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea) or HE (hepatic encephalopathy), which have different underlying causes.

Levosulpride is a medication commonly used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. It acts as a dopamine receptor antagonist, meaning it blocks the effects of dopamine in the body. Additionally, it also acts as a 5 HT 4 agonist, which means it stimulates serotonin receptors in the gastrointestinal tract. This dual mechanism of action helps to regulate the movement of the digestive system and alleviate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and bloating. Therefore, the correct answer is c) Dopamine receptor antagonist & 5 HT 4 agonist.
