    Do Statins interfere in the absorption of vitamin D3 ?

    • False

    • True

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Statins are a class of medications used to lower cholesterol levels. While they are effective in reducing cholesterol, there is evidence to suggest that statins may interfere with the absorption of vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 plays a crucial role in bone health and immune function. Some studies have shown that statins can decrease the levels of vitamin D3 in the body, leading to a deficiency. Therefore, the statement "True" indicates that statins can indeed interfere in the absorption of vitamin D3.

    What is the mode of action of Cefuroxime axetil ?

    • Inhibits protein synthesis of protein

    • Inhibits cell wall synthesis of bacteria

    • Inhibits DNA replication of bacteria

    • Inhibits the DNA synthesis of bacteria

    Correct Answer
    A. Inhibits cell wall synthesis of bacteria
    Explanation
    Cefuroxime axetil is a type of antibiotic that belongs to the class of cephalosporins. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall. Bacterial cell walls are crucial for their survival and by inhibiting their synthesis, cefuroxime axetil effectively weakens and destroys the bacteria. This mode of action makes it an effective treatment for various bacterial infections.

    What is mode of action of cholecalciferol ?

    • Helps in calcium absorption from bone

    • Helps in calcium absorption from Intestine & re-absorption of Calcium from kidney

    • Increases osteoclast activity

    • Decreases osteoblast activity

    Correct Answer
    A. Helps in calcium absorption from Intestine & re-absorption of Calcium from kidney
    Explanation
    Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3, helps in the absorption of calcium from the intestine and the re-absorption of calcium from the kidney. This is essential for maintaining proper levels of calcium in the body, as it allows for the efficient uptake of calcium from the diet and the reabsorption of calcium that would otherwise be excreted by the kidneys. By promoting calcium absorption and re-absorption, cholecalciferol supports bone health and helps prevent conditions such as osteoporosis.

    What is the meaning of surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis?

    • Use of antibiotic post surgery

    • Use of antibiotic before surgery to prevent the infection

    • Use of antibiotic during surgery to prevent the infection

    • Use of multivitamins after the surgery to prevent the infection

    Correct Answer
    A. Use of antibiotic before surgery to prevent the infection
    Explanation
    Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis refers to the use of antibiotics before surgery to prevent infection. This practice involves administering antibiotics to patients prior to their surgical procedure in order to reduce the risk of postoperative infections. By giving antibiotics before surgery, any potential bacteria present on the patient's skin or in the surgical site can be effectively eliminated, minimizing the chances of infection. The use of antibiotics post-surgery, during surgery, or multivitamins after surgery does not accurately describe surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis.

    What is the mode of action of Diclofenac sodium in Enzoflam ?

    • Cox enzyme inhibitor

    • H2 receptor antagonist

    • Preferential Cox 2 inhibitor

    • Leukotriene receptor antagonist

    Correct Answer
    A. Preferential Cox 2 inhibitor
    Explanation
    Diclofenac sodium in Enzoflam acts as a preferential Cox 2 inhibitor. Cox 2 inhibitors are a type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that specifically target the Cox 2 enzyme, which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain. By inhibiting Cox 2, diclofenac sodium reduces inflammation and pain in the body. This mode of action makes it an effective treatment for conditions such as arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.

    Cholecalciferol is active form of Vitamin D3 ?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Cholecalciferol is not the active form of Vitamin D3. The active form of Vitamin D3 is calcitriol, which is produced in the kidneys from cholecalciferol. Cholecalciferol is a precursor form of Vitamin D3 that is synthesized in the skin when it is exposed to sunlight or obtained through dietary sources. Once cholecalciferol is converted to calcitriol, it plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body, promoting bone health, and supporting various physiological processes. Therefore, the statement that cholecalciferol is the active form of Vitamin D3 is false.

    What is mode of action of Serratiopeptidase ?

    • Preferential Cox 2 inhibitor

    • Analgestic

    • Proteolytic enzymes

    • Anti pyretic

    Correct Answer
    A. Preferential Cox 2 inhibitor
  • 10. 

    Cholecalciferol gets formed to which part of the human body ?

    • Liver

    • Kidney

    • Skin

    • Intestine

    Correct Answer
    A. Liver
    Explanation
    Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3, is formed in the liver. The liver plays a crucial role in the synthesis of cholecalciferol from its precursor molecules. Once formed in the liver, cholecalciferol is then converted into its active form, calcitriol, in the kidneys. This activation process allows cholecalciferol to perform its essential functions in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body, promoting bone health, and supporting immune function.
