Substances or conditions that alter the metabolism of bones may predispose or aggravated osteoporosis. Example: Corticosteroids, menopause and Grave’s disease. 2- C: There is a cross-sensitivity drug interaction between sulphonamides and celecoxib 3- D: Sulphynpyrazone is an uricosuric acid agent used in the treatment of gout. 4- A: Calcitonin is a hormone elaborated by the thyroid gland in response to hypercalcemia. 5- C: Calcitonin is not a vitamin D derivative. It is a hormone elaborated by the thyroid gland in response to hypercalcemia, lowering plasma calcium and phosphate levels. 6- E: Allopurinol may inhibit enzymatic metabolism of anticoagulants, leading to potentiation of the anticoagulant effect. Mercapturic acid dosage should be reduced with concomitant use with allopurinol because it induced inhibition of xanthine oxidase decreasing metabolism of mercapturic acid and potentiating therapeutic and toxic effects. Allopurinol decrease theophyllin clearance resulting in increased serum theophyllin concentrations 7- B: Allopurinol and indomethacin are used in gout treatment however not as uricosuric agent but as xanthine oxidase inhibitor and NSAID respectively. Methotrexate is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis as DMRA agent. 8- D: Allopurinol and sulphynphyrazone are only used in gout treatment. Indomethacin can be used in rheumatoid arthritis however as NSAID and Methotrexate is used as DMRA agent. 9- C: Salicylates in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis provides only analgesic effect by reducing prostaglandin synthesis.

10- E: Osteoporosis is characterized by the loss of bone mass. Vitamin D supplements have been used in the treatment of osteoporosis because vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium that is essential to reduce bone loss. Antacids interact with vitamin D in many ways, magnesium containing antacids may lead to hypermagnesemia and aluminum containing antacids have its levels increased leading to aluminum bone toxicity when currently used with vitamin D. 11- B: Allopurinol inhibit xanthine oxidase enzyme therefore the conversion of 6-mercaptopurine to uric acid inhibiting the uric acid synthesis-formation 12- C: Pannus is an inflammatory exudates overlying the lining layer of synovial cells on the inside of a joint, usually occurring in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or related articular rheumatisms, and sometimes resulting in fibrous ankylosis of the joints. 13- A: Intra-articular is normally referred to a kind of injection given within a joint. 14- E: Colchicine may cause false-positive test results of red blood cells-RBC and hemoglobin in urine. It may also cause decrease in platelet count. 15- D: Cochicine is only used in gout treatment. It has no effect on uric acid therefore it is used just in the acute treatment of gout by inhibiting the migration of leukocytes, phagocytes and leukotrienes B4 to the affected joint. 16- A: Indomethacin is a potent NSAID that inhibits the acute gout arthritis inflammation by inhibition of prostaglandin formation and inhibition of crystals phagocytes by macrophages. 17- B: Allopurinol is a purine derivative working as xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitor responsible for the conversion of 6mercaptopurine to uric acid. 18- E: The gout disease is normally controlled by three different mechanisms: 1- Control the inflammatory response by inhibition of leukocytes, macrophages and leukotrienes migration to the affected joint. 2- Increase the renal clearance of uric acid by inhibiting the reabsorption of uric acid by the kidney and 3- Reduce the conversion of 6-mercaptopurine to uric acid by inhibition of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. 19- C: Gout is a group of disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism. It is manifested by hyperuricemia, recurrent characteristic arthritis induced by deposit of crystals in and around the joint of the extremities, which may lead to destruction and severe crippling of joints. 20- A: Main side effects of allopurinol therapy include: Steven-Johnson’s hypersensitivity rashes reactions, gastro-intestinal intolerance, peripheral neuritis and necrotizing vasculitis. 21- E: Estrogen is widely used to prevent bone loss after menopause. Estrogen can enhance calcium retention and retard bone loss but does not increase bone mass that has already been lost. 22- B: Osteoporosis is mainly characterized by the loss of bone mass. It is the most common of the metabolic bone diseases and is an important cause of morbidity in elderly. 23- D: Cloroquine and primaquine are normally used together only in the treatment and prevention of malaria. Quinine and hydroxycloroquine are antimalarial agents and alternatively used in prophylaxis and treatment of muscle cramps leg and rheumatoid arthritis respectively. 24- A: Methotrexate is a Disease-Modifying rheumatoid arthritis agent normally used orally, 7.5mg once a week or 2.5mg every 12hours for 3 doses given as a course once weekly, increased 15mg per week after 6 weeks, if necessary. 25- B: In the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis penicillamine should be administrated in an empty stomach. Improvement of the condition may take up to 2 to 3 months of therapy 26- C: Gould therapy would be the best choice for this particular patient because the other drugs may have cross-sensitivity with aspirin and/or induce brochospasm. 27- B: Diflunisal is a NSAID used for both acute and chronic anti-inflammatory treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
