Question 21 • VA_Pharmacology_A

A pharmacy receives a prescription for a corticosteroid. Which drug will likely be given to the patient?

Answer
A
methylprednisolone
B
montelukast
C
fluticasone
D
pseudoephedrine

Explanation

Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid, a class of medicines that reduces inflammation and suppresses immune responses. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor blocker, fluticasone is a corticosteroid too, and pseudoephedrine is a decongestant. Therefore both methylprednisolone and fluticasone fit the prescription, so the question has two correct choices.
