b) increased contractility
c) decreased blood pressure
d) increased heart rate
Question: Simvastatin has a high probability of interacting with :
:a) Erythromycin
b) Ketoconazole
c) carbamazepine
d) all of the above
1) Option:B
Simvastatin.
An example for HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor to reduce cholesterol biosynthesis is simvastatin.
This decreases and prevents acute coronory synfroms and stroke.
2) Option: D
Cholestyramine.
Cholestyramine moderately lowers cholesterol levels.It is a bile acid binding resin.low amounts cholestyramine will decrease cholesterol levels.
3) Option :D
Blockage of calcium channels.
Taking of antianginal medicine causes crease of cGMP levels in the vascular smooth muscles.
4) Option: D
Al of the above.
Use of strains causes gastrointestinal discomfort,mylangia and rhabdomylosis,elevated hepatic enzgen activity.
It causes muscle pain, digestion problems and liver damage.
