PN 2005 Drugs Questions With Complete Solutions
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Correct Answers Though to produce
analgesia by inhibiting prostaglandin and other substances that
sensitize pain receptors. Drug may relieve fever through central
action in the hypothalamic heat- regulating centre.
Acyclorvir Correct Answers Interferes with DNA synthesis and
inhibits viral multiplication.
Albuterol Sulfate Correct Answers Relaxes bronchial, uterine,
and vascular smooth muscle by stimulating beta2 receptors.
Alprazolam Correct Answers Unknown. Probably potentiates
the effects of GABA, depresses the spread of seizure activity.
Altace - Ramipril Correct Answers Prevents conversion of
angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2, a potent vasoconstrictor. Less
angiotensin 2 decrease peripheral arterial resistance, decreasing
aldosterone secretion, which reduces sodium and water retention
and lowers blood pressure.
Amitriptyline Correct Answers Unknown. A TCA that
increases the amount of norepinephrine, serotonin, or both in the
CNS by blocking their reuptake by the presynaptic neutrons
Amoxicilin Correct Answers Inhibits cell-wall synthesis during
bacterial multiplication.
Aspirin Correct Answers Through to produce analgesia and
exert its anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting prostaglandin
, and other substances that sensitize pain receptors. Drug may
relieve fever though central action in the hypothalamic heat-
regulating centre. In low doses, drug appears to interfere with
clothing by keeping a platelet-aggregating substance from
forming.
Atorvastatin Calcium Correct Answers Inhibits HMG-CoA
reductase, an early (and rate-limiting) step in cholesterol
biosynthesis.
Bacitracin Correct Answers Prevents phosphorylation of
bactoprenol.
Baclofen Correct Answers Hyperpolarizes fibres to reduce
impulse transmission. Appears to reduce transmissions of
impulse from the spinal cord to skeletal muscle, thus decreasing
the frequency and amplitude the muscle spasms in patient with
spinal cord lesions.
Bisacodyl Fumarate Correct Answers Selectively blocks cardiac
adrenoceptors, reducing resting and exercise HR, decreasing
cardiac output, depressing renin secretion, and decreasing tonic
sympathetic outflow from the vasomotor centres in the brain.
Captopril Correct Answers Inhibits ACE, preventing
conversions of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2, a potent
vasocontrictor. Less angiotensin 2 decreases peripheral arterial
resistance, decreasing aldosterone secretion, which reduces
sodium and water retention and lowers BP.
