Answer 1

Ans) d. TCA

Explaination:

- Imipramine can help your child control nighttime bed-wetting. Imipramine belongs to a class of medications called tricyclic antidepressants. It works by restoring the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine) in the brain.

- Also, Desmopressin can be used if, for instance, the child is staying overnight at a friend's house and would like to avoid wetting the bed. It is best to try out this medication in advance, to make sure that it works and that the dose is correct.

- Desmopressin is in a class of medications called hormones. It works by replacing vasopressin, a hormone that is normally produced in the body to help balance the amount of water and salt.

Ans) c. Atypical Antidepressants

Explaination:

- Antidepressants are a mainstay in the treatment of many chronic pain conditions — even when depression isn't a factor.
