KROK 1 2007 – Question 195 · KROK (Medicine) · Pharmacology
A patient ill with collagenesis has been taking prednisolone for a long time. Hypokaliemia development caused spastic pain of skeletal muscles. What medication should be used in order to correct potassium exchange?
- A. Thyrocalcitonin
- B. Panangin
- C. Diazepam
- D. Noshpa
- E. Dithylinum
Hint
Prolonged glucocorticoid treatment wastes potassium and provokes cramps; ask which drug actually replaces the lost ion instead of merely treating the muscle symptom.
