Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 12. (b)
Solution:
- The correct match is:
$\mathrm{A} \rightarrow(\mathrm{Q}) \mathrm{B} \rightarrow(\mathrm{P}) \mathrm{C} \rightarrow(\mathrm{R})$
(A) Norethindrone It is an antifertility $\operatorname{drug}(Q)$ containing synthetic progesterone derivative. [Other similar drug, is ethinylestradiol (novestrol)].
(B) Ofloxacin It is an antibiotic $(P)$,
i.e produced wholly or partly by chemical synthesis with low concentration of microorganism. [Some other similar drugs : Penicillin, chloramphenicol, salvarsan etc.]
(C) Equanil (meprobamate) It is a mild tranquilizer for relieving hypertension. It relieve anxiety, stress, excitement by inducing a sense of well being.
(Other similar drug is chlordiazepoxide.)
