Question 2 of 5

Indicate the pure opioid antagonist which has a half-life of 10 hours:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Naltrexone. Naltrexone is a pure opioid antagonist with a half-life of 10 hours, making it the most appropriate choice. Naloxone (A) is a short-acting opioid antagonist used for emergency overdose situations. Tramadol (C) is a weak opioid agonist with additional effects on serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake. Pentazocine (D) is a mixed opioid agonist-antagonist. Therefore, only Naltrexone fits the criteria of a pure opioid antagonist with a 10-hour half-life.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following statements is true?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Rationale: - A: D1 receptors are indeed found in the striatum - B: D2 receptors are present in the striatum and limbic areas - C: D4 receptors are located in the frontal cortex and mesolimbic system Therefore, the correct answer is D as all statements are true, covering the distribution of D1, D2, and D4 receptors in the specified brain regions. Other choices are incorrect as they do not include all the correct statements.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following features do MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants have in common?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: C: Both MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants increase levels of biogenic amines like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine by inhibiting their reuptake or breakdown. A: Both act presynaptically by inhibiting the reuptake of neurotransmitters, not postsynaptically. B: Only MAO inhibitors interact with certain foods to cause hypertensive crisis, not tricyclic antidepressants. D: Tricyclic antidepressants are used for bipolar depression, not the manic phase.

Question 5 of 5

Piracetam is widely used for the treatment of:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (All of the above). Piracetam is used for senile dementia due to its cognitive-enhancing effects. It is also used for asthenia (weakness/fatigue) as it helps improve energy levels. Additionally, piracetam is used in chronic alcoholism to aid in cognitive function and reduce neurotoxic effects. Therefore, all three options are correct based on the different therapeutic benefits of piracetam. The other choices are incorrect because each condition mentioned can be treated with piracetam, making option D the most comprehensive and accurate answer.
