Repeated USMLE Questions Step 1- Pharmacology- 237

Q- Which one of these drugs can lead to weight gain and constipation?

A- Bromocriptine

B- Clozapine

C- Pimozide

D- Ziprasidone

B- Clozapine- Clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic, is associated with significant weight gain due to metabolic side effects and can cause constipation from its strong anticholinergic effects. Bromocriptine tends to cause weight loss, ziprasidone is relatively weight-neutral, and pimozide has fewer anticholinergic effects.



Q- Which one of these drugs is associated with aplastic anemia?

A- Chloramphenicol

B- Metronidazole

C- Nitrofurantoin

D- Penicillin

A- Chloramphenicol- Chloramphenicol is classically associated with aplastic anemia, a rare but serious adverse effect due to bone marrow suppression. Metronidazole, nitrofurantoin, and penicillin are not typically linked to aplastic anemia.



Q- Which one of these drugs is more beneficial to treat hypertension in diabetic patients?

A- Amlodipine

B- Enalapril

C- Furosemide

D- Verapamil

B- Enalapril- ACE inhibitors such as enalapril are particularly beneficial in patients with diabetes mellitus because they lower blood pressure and slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy by reducing intraglomerular pressure and proteinuria. Other agents may control blood pressure but do not provide the same renal protective benefit as ACE inhibitors in diabetic patients.
