A- Decrease in the response of a drug after repeated administration
B- The effect of drug A and drug B is equal to the sum of their individual effects
C- The effect of drug A and drug B is greater than the sum of their individual effects
D- Presence of drug A is required for the full effect of drug B
D- Presence of drug A is required for full effect of drug- A permissive drug interaction occurs when one drug (A) has little or no effect on its own, but its presence is required for another drug (B) to exert its full physiological effect.

Q- Which of the following statements is true about warfarin?
A- Liver is the main site of action of warfarin
B-Toxicity of warfarin is treated by protamine sulfate
C- Warfarin acts by activation of antithrombin
D- Warfarin is monitored by PTT
A- Liver is the main site of action of warfarin- Warfarin works in the liver, where it inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase, preventing activation of vitamin K–dependent clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X). Protamine sulfate reverses heparin, not warfarin. Warfarin does not activate antithrombin. Monitoring of warfarin is by PT/INR, not PTT.
