KROK 1 2018 – Question 160 · KROK (Medicine) · Pharmacology
To stimulate the labor activity a parturient woman was prescribed a drug - a posterior pituitary hormone that does not affect the blood pressure. As the pregnancy progresses, the sensitivity to this hormone increases. Name the prescribed drug:
- A. Dinoprost
- B. Oxytocin
- C. Dinoprostone
- D. Ergotal
- E. Pituitrin
Hint
The stem sets two filters, a posterior pituitary origin and no effect on blood pressure; ask which uterine stimulant passes both, and why sensitivity of the uterus rises late in pregnancy.
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.
