Answers (1)

The correct match for the mentioned drugs and their actions is - (i —> e), (ii -> f), (iii —> d), (iv —> g), (v -> b), (vi —> a), (vii —» c)

(i)   Analgesics are commonly called pain killers; they reduce or abolish pain without any major side effects like mental confusion. E.g. aspirin                                                                                                                                                                                                      

(ii)  These are the class of drugs which kill and stop the growth of microbes on living tissues during wound healing, e.g. tincture of iodine.

(iii) Antihistamines are prescribed for allergic reactions. They inhibit the natural functioning of histamine by binding to the receptors site, e.g. Seldane.

(iv) Antacids are used to neutralize the excess production of acid in the stomach causing acidity, e.g., a mixture of Mg(OFl)2 and Al(OH)3.

(v) These drugs are administered to treat mental illness like stress and anxiety, e.g., Equanil.

(vi) Antibiotics have used the concept of killing bacteria by other bacteria, they are used for mild infections, and due to less toxicity, they are considered very effective, e.g., chloramphenicol.

(vii)  Disinfectants also have the same role as antiseptic, but these are applied onto non-living components due to unsafe nature, e.g., 1 percent solution of phenol.
