"Correct answer ➡ Azithromycin Azithromycin has minimal CYP3A4 inhibition because its molecular structure does not form stable inhibitory complexes with the enzyme unlike erythromycin and clarithromycin. As a result azithromycin causes far fewer clinically significant drug drug interactions compared with other macrolides. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016449726321774881 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016449726321774881"

"Correct answer ➡ Colorectal cancer FOLFOX is a combination chemotherapy regimen of 5-fluorouracil leucovorin and oxaliplatin used primarily in colorectal cancer. 5-FU inhibits thymidylate synthase (enhanced by leucovorin) impairing DNA synthesis while oxaliplatin forms DNA crosslinks leading to apoptosis of rapidly dividing tumor cells. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2003108449719087462 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2003108449719087462"

"Correct answer ➡ Imipenem Cilastatin is co-administered with imipenem to inhibit renal dehydropeptidase I an enzyme in the kidney that would otherwise rapidly degrade imipenem. By preventing this breakdown cilastatin increases imipenems urinary concentration prolongs its antibacterial activity and reduces the risk of nephrotoxicity. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2007824171741446441 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2007824171741446441"

"Correct answer ➡ CYP 2C19 Omeprazole and esomeprazole inhibit CYP2C19 the enzyme required to convert clopidogrel into its active metabolite which can reduce clopidogrels antiplatelet effect. For patients on clopidogrel who need acid suppression pantoprazole or rabeprazole are preferred because they have minimal CYP2C19 inhibition and a lower risk of interaction. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009204589132644752 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009204589132644752"

"Correct answer ➡ Ethacrynic acid Ethacrynic acid has the highest risk of causing ototoxicity among loop diuretics because of its unique chemical structure and its potent effects on cochlear ion transport. Unlike other loop diuretics ethacrynic acid is not a sulfonamide and contains an -unsaturated ketone that readily reacts with sulfhydryl (SH) groups on proteins. In the inner ear this allows ethacrynic acid to directly inhibit critical enzymes and transporters particularly Na/K-ATPase and other sulfhydryl-dependent proteins in the stria vascularis which is responsible for maintaining the"

"Correct answer ➡ Azithromycin Azithromycin has minimal CYP3A4 inhibition because its molecular structure does not form stable inhibitory complexes with the enzyme unlike erythromycin and clarithromycin. As a result azithromycin causes far fewer clinically significant drug drug interactions compared with other macrolides. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016449726321774881 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016449726321774881"

"Correct answer ➡ Imipenem Cilastatin is co-administered with imipenem to inhibit renal dehydropeptidase I an enzyme in the kidney that would otherwise rapidly degrade imipenem. By preventing this breakdown cilastatin increases imipenems urinary concentration prolongs its antibacterial activity and reduces the risk of nephrotoxicity. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2007824171741446441 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2007824171741446441"

"Correct answer ➡ CYP 2C19 Omeprazole and esomeprazole inhibit CYP2C19 the enzyme required to convert clopidogrel into its active metabolite which can reduce clopidogrels antiplatelet effect. For patients on clopidogrel who need acid suppression pantoprazole or rabeprazole are preferred because they have minimal CYP2C19 inhibition and a lower risk of interaction. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009204589132644752 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2009204589132644752"

X Link 2026-01-17T17:36Z 207.2K followers, 17.9K engagements
"Correct answer ➡ Ethacrynic acid Ethacrynic acid has the highest risk of causing ototoxicity among loop diuretics because of its unique chemical structure and its potent effects on cochlear ion transport. Unlike other loop diuretics ethacrynic acid is not a sulfonamide and contains an -unsaturated ketone that readily reacts with sulfhydryl (SH) groups on proteins. In the inner ear this allows ethacrynic acid to directly inhibit critical enzymes and transporters particularly Na/K-ATPase and other sulfhydryl-dependent proteins in the stria vascularis which is responsible for maintaining the"
