KROK 1 2014 – Question 129 · KROK (Medicine) · Pharmacology
A 35-year-old female patient has been hospitalised with acute intoxication caused by salts of high-density metals (lead, most probably). As a part of complex therapy the antidote that contains two active sulfhydric groups has been prescribed. Specify this antidote:
- A. Dimercaprol
- B. Metamizole
- C. Mannitol
- D. Nalorphine hydrochloride
- E. Calcium chloride
Hint
Work out what chemical property lets an antidote capture a heavy metal ion in the body and keep it from binding to enzymes, then find the drug that has it.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
