Centrally acting antitussive
-
Phenylephrine
-
Dextromethorphan
-
Carbocisteine
-
Phenylpropanolamine
Correct Answer
A. DextromethorphanExplanation
Dextromethorphan is a centrally acting antitussive, meaning it works in the central nervous system to suppress coughing. It does not directly act on the cough reflex, but instead affects the brain's cough center. This makes it an effective treatment for coughing caused by various conditions, such as the common cold or respiratory infections. Phenylephrine, carbocisteine, and phenylpropanolamine are not centrally acting antitussives, and therefore do not have the same mechanism of action as dextromethorphan in treating cough.Rate this question:

Antidote for paracetamol poisoning
-
Atropine
-
Calcium salt
-
Acetylcysteine
-
Diphenhydramine
Correct Answer
A. AcetylcysteineExplanation
Acetylcysteine is the correct answer as it is the specific antidote for paracetamol poisoning. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a common over-the-counter pain reliever that can cause liver damage if taken in excessive amounts. Acetylcysteine helps to prevent or reduce liver damage by replenishing the depleted levels of glutathione, a natural antioxidant in the body. It is administered orally or intravenously and is most effective when given within 8-10 hours after paracetamol ingestion. Atropine, calcium salt, and diphenhydramine are not used as antidotes for paracetamol poisoning.Rate this question:

It works by slowing down the movement of the intestines, which helps to reduce diarrhea and relieve symptoms such as frequent bowel movements and loose stools. Loperamide is commonly used to treat acute and chronic diarrhea caused by various conditions, including gastroenteritis and irritable bowel syndrome. It is available over-the-counter and by prescription, and it is generally considered safe and effective when used as directed.Rate this question:

Proton pump inhibitor
-
Ranitidine
-
Lansoprazole
-
Famotidine
-

A. LansoprazoleExplanation
Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor, which means it reduces the production of stomach acid by blocking the enzyme in the stomach wall that produces acid. This medication is commonly used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Ranitidine, famotidine, and cimetidine are all H2 blockers, which work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, but they are not proton pump inhibitors like lansoprazole. Therefore, lansoprazole is the correct answer in this case.Rate this question:
-
- 14.
Ovulation inducing agent
-
Ethinylestradiol
-
Dydrogesterone
-
Noretisterone
-
Clomifene
Correct Answer
A. ClomifeneExplanation
Clomifene is an ovulation inducing agent commonly used in the treatment of infertility. It works by stimulating the release of hormones necessary for the development and release of mature eggs from the ovaries. Ethinylestradiol, dydrogesterone, and noretisterone are not ovulation inducing agents, but rather different types of hormonal contraceptives or hormone replacement therapies. Therefore, Clomifene is the correct answer as it specifically targets and promotes ovulation.Rate this question:
-

Uterine stimulant
-
Terbutaline
-
Isoxsuprine
-
Oxytocin

Correct Answer
A. OxytocinExplanation
Oxytocin is a hormone that acts as a uterine stimulant. It is commonly used to induce labor or strengthen contractions during childbirth. It works by binding to oxytocin receptors in the uterus, causing smooth muscle contractions. Terbutaline and isoxsuprine are both bronchodilators used to treat asthma and other respiratory conditions, while levonorgestrel is a synthetic hormone used in birth control pills. Therefore, the correct answer is oxytocin as it is the only option that acts as a uterine stimulant.Rate this question:
