INTRODUCTORY CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY EXAM
(2025/2026) QUESTIONS AND (elaborated)
ANSWETRS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
Bacteriostatic - (ANSWER)they slow or retard the multiplication of bacteria
bactericidal - (ANSWER)kills bacteria
antiviral drugs - (ANSWER)Work by reducing virus's ability to reproduce/replicate
by targeting events in the replication cycle
Sulfonamides - (ANSWER)(commonly called sulfa drugs) are antibacterial agents,
meaning they are active against bacteria. Sulfadiazine and sulfamethizole are
examples of sulfonamide preparations. •Sulfadiazine
•Sulfasalazine
•Sulfisoxazole
•Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim)
•Mafedidine (sulfamylon)
•Silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene)
Uses of Sulfonamides - (ANSWER)Urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Acute otitis media.
Ulcerative colitis.
Bacterial skin and eye infections.
, Mafenide (Sulfamylon) and silver sulfadiazine (Silvadene) are topical sulfonamides
used in the treatment and prevention of infections in second- and third-degree
burns.
STI
pneumonia
trachoma
Adverse reaction of sulfonamides - (ANSWER)Anorexia, Gastrointestinal System
(Nausea, vomiting, Diarrhea, abdominal pain, Stomatitis (inflammation of the
mouth), other reactions (urticaria (hives), pruritus (itching), generalized skin
eruptions, or severe reactions leading to potentially lethal conditions such as toxic
epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS).
Sulfonamide Interactions : Interactant Drug - (ANSWER)Oral anticoagulants
Methotrexate (Rheumatrex)
Oral diabetic medications
Antacids
SulfonamideInteractions : Effect of Interaction - (ANSWER)Increased action of the
anticoagulant
Increased bone marrow suppression
