Question 1

MATCHING
Match the following drugs with their classes.
a.central acting skeletal muscle relaxants
b.antihistamine
c.peripheral acting drugs for treatment use of spasticity
d.GABAergic drugs
e.a-adrenergic agonist
-Dantrolene

Accepted Answer

Dantrolene is a peripheral acting drug for the treatment of spasticity, commonly used in conditions like cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis. It works by inhibiting the release of calcium ions from skeletal muscle cells, which reduces muscle contraction. None of the other listed drug classes are relevant to dantrolene.

Question 2

The goal of most drug treatments is to reduce the positive symptoms of spasticity.

Accepted Answer

Drugs used in the treatment of spasticity are grouped according to the site of action and are classified as centrally acting and peripheral acting.The goal of most drug treatments is to reduce the positive symptoms of spasticity.

-Which of the following is not one of the four phases to the development of spasticity?

Accepted Answer

There are four phases to the development of spasticity: (1)decreased muscle contractility(2)excessive muscle tone and increased reflex activity lasing from days to years(3)decreased reflex excitability,and (4)stiff,contracted muscles

-Cyproheptadine

Accepted Answer

Cyproheptadine is an antihistamine drug used to treat allergic reactions, itching, and migraine headaches. It works by blocking the action of histamine and other substances in the body that cause allergic responses. It does not belong to any of the other classes listed.
