This drug can act as an agonist at serotonergic and α-adrenergic receptors.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Ergonovine. Ergonovine is a drug that can act as an agonist at serotonergic and α-adrenergic receptors. Serotonergic receptors are important in regulating mood and behavior, while α-adrenergic receptors are involved in various physiological processes. Cyproheptadine (A) is a serotonin antagonist, Loratadine (C) is an antihistamine, and Promethazine (D) is a histamine antagonist and dopamine antagonist. Therefore, they do not act as agonists at serotonergic and α-adrenergic receptors.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Loratadine and famotidine. Loratadine is an antihistamine that can help alleviate itching and flushing by blocking the action of histamine released during mast cell activation. Famotidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that can reduce heartburn symptoms by decreasing stomach acid production. Misoprostol (choice B) is used to prevent ulcers but is not directly related to mastocytosis treatment. Aspirin and ergotamine (choice A) can worsen symptoms in mastocytosis patients due to their potential to trigger mast cell degranulation. Diphenhydramine (choice D) is an antihistamine but is not as effective as loratadine in controlling symptoms of mastocytosis. Therefore, the best therapeutic approach for this patient is to use loratadine and famotidine to manage his symptoms effectively.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Pharmacokinetics is defined as the study of how drugs move through the body, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). Choice B correctly encapsulates this, while Choice A describes pharmacodynamics, Choice C focuses on mechanisms (also pharmacodynamics), and Choice D relates to drug development, not kinetics.
