Question 1 of 5
Which of the following medication acts as an antagonist on mu receptors and agonists of kappa receptors?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Butorphanol. Butorphanol acts as an antagonist on mu receptors, blocking their activity, and as an agonist on kappa receptors, activating them. This dual mechanism of action is unique to butorphanol, making it the correct choice. Morphine (
A) and Naloxone (
B) are both mu receptor antagonists, while Acetaminophen (
D) does not act on opioid receptors.
Therefore, Butorphanol is the only medication among the choices that fits the criteria specified in the question.
