USMLE/COMLEX Step 1 Pharmacology One Liners

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

25. Prototypical drug is atropine






26. The elimination of drug that occurs before it reaches the systemic circulation






27. Dopamine agonist used in hyperprolactinemia

41. Antidote for beta - blockers and hypoglycemia






42. MOA of class IV antiarrhythmics






43. Muscarinic antagonist used in asthma






44. This beta blocker lacks local anesthetic activity (a property which decreases protective reflexes and increases the risk of corneal ulceration) and used in treating glaucoma






45. Non - selective Beta - blocker also used for migraine prophylaxis






46. Used for SIADH






47. Vitamin given with calcium to ensure proper absorption






48. Opioid antagonist that is given orally in alcohol dependency programs
