Aspirin (choice B) and Acetaminophen (choice D) don't target synovial fluid significantly. Codeine (choice C), an opioid, lacks anti-inflammatory action. Diclofenac's pharmacokinetics suit musculoskeletal conditions.

Question 5 of 5
A patient was treated with a drug and after the addition of another drug by his physician, the patient developed 'hyperthermia, muscle rigidity and rapid changes in mental conditions' and the case was diagnosed as serotonin syndrome. Which of the following combination of drugs was the most likely cause of these adverse effects?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: MAOI + Fluoxetine (choice D) causes serotonin syndrome (hyperthermia, rigidity, mental changes) by excessive serotonin from MAOI preventing breakdown and SSRI blocking reuptake. Diazepam + Flumazenil (choice A), Morphine + Methadone (choice B), and L-DOPA + Carbidopa (choice C) don't target serotonin. This interaction is severe.
