Cilnidipine is superior to traditional CCBs because
Correct Answer
D. All of the above
Explanation
Cilnidipine is considered superior to traditional CCBs because it blocks both L/N type calcium channels, suppresses cardiac sympathetic overactivity, and reduces proteinuria while causing a greater reduction in GFR. This combination of actions makes it a more effective and comprehensive treatment option compared to traditional CCBs, which may only target one or two of these mechanisms.
2.
Which study highlighted the effect of Olmesartan in Clinic & morning home blood pressure?
Correct Answer
C. HONEST
Explanation
The HONEST study is the correct answer because it specifically investigated the effect of Olmesartan in both clinic and morning home blood pressure. This study likely provided evidence and findings regarding the effectiveness and impact of Olmesartan on blood pressure levels, which could be beneficial for clinicians and patients in managing hypertension.
3.
What is the %age reduction in microalbuminuria by Olmesartan as concluded by ROADMAP
Correct Answer
B. 23%
Explanation
The correct answer is 23%. This percentage reduction in microalbuminuria was concluded by the ROADMAP study. The study found that Olmesartan, a medication used to treat high blood pressure, resulted in a 23% reduction in microalbuminuria. This reduction is significant and highlights the effectiveness of Olmesartan in managing this condition.
4.
What is the half life of Olmesartan
Correct Answer
B. 15 Hrs
Explanation
The half-life of Olmesartan is 15 hours. This means that it takes approximately 15 hours for half of the drug to be eliminated from the body. After each subsequent half-life, the amount of the drug in the body is reduced by half. Therefore, it would take multiple half-lives for the drug to be completely eliminated from the body.
5.
Which of the following study isn't related to Olmesartan
Correct Answer
D. ONTARGET
Explanation
The study that is not related to Olmesartan is ONTARGET.
6.
How many patients were enrolled in HONEST Study
Correct Answer
D. 12341
Explanation
The correct answer is 12341. This number represents the total number of patients who were enrolled in the HONEST Study.
7.
Which of the below benefits is not true about Olmesartan
Correct Answer
B. PPAR-Gamma agonist activity
Explanation
The statement "PPAR-Gamma agonist activity" is not true about Olmesartan. Olmesartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used for the treatment of hypertension. It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow, resulting in increased blood pressure. Olmesartan does not have PPAR-Gamma agonist activity, which is a different mechanism of action associated with some other medications used to treat diabetes.
8.
Which of the following is false about Nulong Trio
Correct Answer
D. Prevents heart failure
Explanation
The false statement about Nulong Trio is that it prevents heart failure. Nulong Trio may have benefits such as dual blockage, renoprotection, and cardioprotection, but it does not prevent heart failure.
9.
MORE STUDY concluded the:
Correct Answer
A. Evidence on Olmesartan's Anti-ischemic property
Explanation
The given information suggests that there is evidence supporting Olmesartan's anti-ischemic property. This means that Olmesartan has been found to have a beneficial effect in preventing or reducing ischemia, which is a condition where there is inadequate blood supply to a particular organ or part of the body. This suggests that Olmesartan may be useful in treating or preventing ischemic conditions such as heart disease or stroke.
10.
COTO Study involved:-
Correct Answer
C. Both of above
Explanation
The COTO Study involved both Olmesartan-Candesartan and Olmesartan-Telmisartan. This means that both combinations were included in the study.
11.
Conclusion of OLVIUS Study
Correct Answer
B. Olmesartan lowers the rate of Coronary Atheroma progression
Explanation
The conclusion of the OLVIUS study suggests that olmesartan, a medication used to treat hypertension, can lower the rate of progression of coronary atheroma, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries of the heart. This means that olmesartan can potentially reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular complications in hypertensive patients with CAD risk. Additionally, the study also found that olmesartan reduces the volume of larger atherosclerotic plaques and the progression of proteinuria, which is the presence of excess protein in the urine. Therefore, the correct answer is that olmesartan lowers the rate of coronary atheroma progression.
12.
Cilnidipine in Nulong-Trio offers renoprotection by:
Correct Answer
A. Inhibits direct release of Renin at kidneys
Explanation
Cilnidipine in Nulong-Trio offers renoprotection by inhibiting the direct release of Renin at the kidneys. Renin is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure and fluid balance. By inhibiting its release, cilnidipine helps to reduce the production of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. This ultimately leads to a decrease in renal damage and improves kidney function, providing renoprotection.
13.
Anti-hypertensive effect of Olmesartan is stronger and more sustained than Telmisartan is proven by which study
Correct Answer
C. COTO
Explanation
The study that proved the stronger and more sustained anti-hypertensive effect of Olmesartan compared to Telmisartan is COTO.
14.
Nulong Trio can be used in all the cases except
Correct Answer
B. Stroke & MI
Explanation
Nulong Trio is a medication that can be used in various cases of hypertension, including uncontrolled hypertension, resistant hypertension, and hypertension with cardiovascular risk. However, it should not be used in cases of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). This is because Nulong Trio may not be suitable for patients who have recently experienced a stroke or MI, as it could potentially worsen their condition or interact with other medications they may be taking. Therefore, the correct answer is "Stroke & MI."
15.
What was the dosage of Olmesartan in COTO study
Correct Answer
A. Olmesartan 20
Explanation
The correct answer is Olmesartan 20. This is because the question asks for the dosage of Olmesartan in the COTO study, and the only option that mentions a specific dosage is Olmesartan 20. The other option, Olmesartan 40, is not mentioned in relation to the COTO study. Therefore, the correct answer is Olmesartan 20.
16.
EUTOPIA Trial concluded
Correct Answer
C. Both
Explanation
The EUTOPIA Trial concluded that olmesartan significantly reduces serum levels of hs CRP, TNF alpha, and IL-6, which are all involved in initiating atherosclerosis. Additionally, olmesartan also significantly reduced vascular micro-inflammation. Therefore, the correct answer is both.
17.
Cilnidpine blocks which type of calcium channels
Correct Answer
A. L/N Type
Explanation
Cilnidipine blocks L/N type calcium channels.
18.
Which of following is not true about Nulong Trio?
Correct Answer
D. All are true
Explanation
All of the statements about Nulong Trio are true. It provides renoprotection, which means it helps protect the kidneys. It also leads to a greater reduction in urinary protein/creatinine levels, indicating its effectiveness in managing kidney function. Additionally, it reduces sympathetic overactivity, which refers to the activity of the sympathetic nervous system that controls various bodily functions. Therefore, all the given statements are true about Nulong Trio.
19.
How Nulong reduces Pedal edema?
Correct Answer
A. Dilated both veins & arteries
Explanation
Dilating both veins and arteries can help reduce pedal edema. Veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart, and dilating them can increase blood flow and reduce fluid buildup in the tissues. Arteries, on the other hand, carry oxygenated blood away from the heart, and dilating them can improve circulation and decrease swelling. By dilating both veins and arteries, Nulong can improve blood flow and reduce pedal edema.
20.
Olmat's anti-atherosclerotic property of Olmesartan is proven by
Correct Answer
D. All of above
Explanation
The correct answer is "All of above." This means that the anti-atherosclerotic property of Olmesartan has been proven by all of the mentioned studies: OLIVUS, EUTOPIA, and MORE. These studies have likely conducted research and experiments that demonstrate the effectiveness of Olmesartan in preventing or reducing the development of atherosclerosis.
