Teglipt is useful in patients with
- A.
A. Type 1 Diabetes
- B.
B. Type 2 Diabetes
- C.
C. Gestational Diabetes
- D.
D. All of the above
Correct Answer
B. B. Type 2 DiabetesExplanation
Teglipt is useful in patients with Type 2 Diabetes. This medication is specifically designed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. It works by inhibiting an enzyme that breaks down certain hormones involved in glucose regulation. By doing so, Teglipt helps to increase insulin production and decrease glucose production in the liver, ultimately leading to better blood sugar control in Type 2 Diabetes patients. Therefore, Teglipt is not recommended for patients with Type 1 Diabetes or Gestational Diabetes.Rate this question:

Beta cells present in Pancreas are responsible for ____________ production
- A.
A. Glucose
- B.
B. Insulin
- C.
C. GLP1
- D.
D. GIP
Correct Answer
B. B. InsulinExplanation
Beta cells present in the pancreas are responsible for the production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing cells in the body to take in glucose from the bloodstream. Without insulin, glucose cannot be properly utilized by the body, leading to high blood sugar levels and potentially causing diabetes. Therefore, beta cells play a crucial role in maintaining glucose homeostasis by producing insulin.Rate this question:

Choose one which doesn’t increase insulin secretion from pancreas
- A.
A. Vildagliptin
- B.
B. Glimepiride
- C.
C. Teneligliptin
- D.
D. Metformin
Correct Answer
D. D. MetforminExplanation
Metformin is an oral medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. Unlike the other options, Vildagliptin, Glimepiride, and Teneligliptin, Metformin does not directly increase insulin secretion from the pancreas. Instead, it works by reducing the production of glucose in the liver and improving the body's sensitivity to insulin, thereby helping to lower blood sugar levels. This makes it a preferred choice for individuals who do not require additional insulin stimulation or have a risk of hypoglycemia.Rate this question:

Domperidone is classified as both a prokinetic drug and a D2 receptor antagonist. As a prokinetic drug, it increases the motility of the gastrointestinal tract, helping to move food through the digestive system. As a D2 receptor antagonist, it blocks the action of dopamine on D2 receptors in the brain and gastrointestinal tract, which helps to reduce nausea and vomiting. Therefore, the correct answer is d. B & C.Rate this question:

Clavulanic acid in Clavam is _______________
- A.
A. Antibiotic
- B.
B. Beta lactamase enzyme
- C.
C. Beta lactamase inhibitor
- D.
D. Placebo
Correct Answer
C. C. Beta lactamase inhibitorExplanation
Clavulanic acid in Clavam is a beta lactamase inhibitor. Beta lactamase is an enzyme produced by bacteria that can inactivate certain antibiotics, such as penicillins and cephalosporins. Clavulanic acid works by binding to and inhibiting beta lactamase enzymes, allowing the antibiotics to remain effective against the bacteria. Therefore, it enhances the effectiveness of the antibiotic in Clavam by preventing the bacteria from degrading it.Rate this question:

D. Emty
Correct Answer
D. D. EmtyExplanation
Hepatic encephalopathy is a condition characterized by the buildup of toxins in the brain due to liver dysfunction. The correct answer, "d. Emty," is likely a misspelling of "empty." This answer choice may suggest that an empty stomach is recommended for individuals with hepatic encephalopathy, as eating can worsen symptoms. However, without further context or information, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning of the answer choice.Rate this question:

Stomach acid is produced by _________
- A.
A. Mucous cells
- B.
B. Gastrin cells
- C.
C. Parietal cells
- D.
D. Peptic cells
Correct Answer
C. C. Parietal cellsExplanation
Stomach acid is produced by parietal cells. These cells are located in the gastric glands of the stomach lining. Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) into the stomach, which helps in the digestion of food and killing of bacteria. This acid also activates enzymes that break down proteins in the stomach. Mucous cells produce mucus to protect the stomach lining, gastrin cells produce the hormone gastrin that stimulates the release of stomach acid, and peptic cells produce pepsinogen, an inactive enzyme that is activated by stomach acid to break down proteins.Rate this question:

Rantidine increases blood alcohol concentrations by decreasing the first pass metabolism of the ethanol.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Ranitidine, a medication commonly used to treat heartburn and stomach ulcers, is known to increase blood alcohol concentrations by inhibiting the first pass metabolism of ethanol. This means that when ranitidine is present in the body, the breakdown of ethanol is slowed down, leading to higher levels of alcohol in the bloodstream. Therefore, the statement "Ranitidine increases blood alcohol concentrations by decreasing the first pass metabolism of ethanol" is true.Rate this question:
