    Which antibiotic has less GI adverse side effect ?

    • Co-amoxyclav

    • Cefpodoxime + Clavulanic

    Correct Answer
    A. Cefpodoxime + Clavulanic
    Explanation
    Cefpodoxime + Clavulanic is the antibiotic that has less gastrointestinal (GI) adverse side effects compared to Co-amoxyclav. This combination medication contains cefpodoxime, which is a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, and clavulanic acid, which is a beta-lactamase inhibitor. The addition of clavulanic acid helps to enhance the effectiveness of cefpodoxime and reduces the likelihood of developing GI side effects. Co-amoxyclav, on the other hand, is a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid, and amoxicillin is known to have a higher incidence of GI side effects.

    What's the Mode of Action for Cefpodoxime proxetil ?

    • Inhibit protein synthesis at Ribosome

    • Inhibits DNA replication

    • Breaks DNA Strand

    • Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis

     In indikof LS, Levosalbutamol is a..................?

    • Mucolytic agent

    • Mucokinetic agent

    • Nasal decongestant

    • Bronchodilator

    Correct Answer
    A. Bronchodilator
    Explanation
    Levosalbutamol is a bronchodilator. Bronchodilators are medications that relax the muscles in the airways, allowing the airways to open up and making it easier to breathe. Levosalbutamol specifically targets the smooth muscles of the bronchi and bronchioles, which are the small airways in the lungs. By relaxing these muscles, levosalbutamol helps to relieve symptoms of conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where the airways become narrowed and constricted.

    Which cell in the stomach secrete HCL?

    • Chief cell

    • G Cell

    • Parietal cell

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Parietal cell
    Explanation
    Parietal cells in the stomach secrete hydrochloric acid (HCL). This acid plays a crucial role in the digestion process by breaking down food and killing bacteria. Parietal cells also secrete intrinsic factor, which is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12. Chief cells, on the other hand, secrete pepsinogen, an inactive enzyme that is later activated by HCL to digest proteins. G cells are responsible for producing the hormone gastrin, which stimulates the release of HCL from the parietal cells.

    • Preferential Cox 2 inhibitor

    • Cox1 Inhibitor

    • None of these

    • Both B & C

    Correct Answer
    A. Preferential Cox 2 inhibitor
    Explanation
    Aceclofenac is a medication that belongs to the class of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is known to selectively inhibit the enzyme Cox-2, which is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation and pain. By inhibiting Cox-2, Aceclofenac reduces inflammation and pain in the body. Therefore, it acts as a preferential Cox-2 inhibitor.

    • Cough suppressant

    Correct Answer
    A. Mucolytic agent
    Explanation
    Ambroxol is a medication commonly used as a mucolytic agent. Mucolytic agents help to break down and thin mucus in the airways, making it easier to cough up and clear the respiratory system. This can be beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions such as bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it helps to alleviate congestion and improve breathing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis
    Explanation
    Azithromycin is a type of antibiotic that belongs to the macrolide class. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. This means that it prevents bacteria from producing essential proteins needed for their growth and survival. By interfering with protein synthesis, azithromycin effectively stops the bacteria from multiplying and spreading, allowing the immune system to eliminate the infection.

    What is the Mode of Action of Ciprofloxacin?

    • Inhibits the bacterial cell wall synthesis

    • Inhibits both Topoisomerase and DNA gyrase

    • Breaks down Bacterial DNA

    • Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis

    Correct Answer
    A. Inhibits both Topoisomerase and DNA gyrase
    Explanation
    Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits both topoisomerase and DNA gyrase. These enzymes are essential for the replication and repair of bacterial DNA. By inhibiting these enzymes, ciprofloxacin prevents the bacteria from properly replicating their DNA and ultimately leads to their death. This mode of action makes ciprofloxacin effective against a wide range of bacterial infections.

    Guaiphenesin in Indikof LS is a................?

    • Mucolytic agent

    • Bronchodilator

    • Mucokinetic agent

    • Nasal decongestant

    Correct Answer
    A. Mucokinetic agent
    Explanation
    Guaiphenesin in Indikof LS is classified as a mucokinetic agent. Mucokinetic agents help to thin and loosen mucus in the respiratory tract, making it easier to cough up and clear the airways. This can be beneficial for individuals with conditions such as bronchitis, asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who may have excess mucus production and difficulty in clearing their airways. Mucokinetic agents like guaiphenesin work by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of mucus, allowing it to be expelled more easily.
