Correct Answer
D. MethadoneExplanation
Methadone is the correct answer because it is a synthetic opioid that can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome occurs when there is an excessive accumulation of serotonin in the body, leading to symptoms such as confusion, agitation, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, and muscle rigidity. Methadone can increase serotonin levels by inhibiting its reuptake and metabolism, therefore, increasing the risk of serotonin syndrome. Nadolol, modafinil, and ramipril are not known to increase the risk of serotonin syndrome.Rate this question:

B. PentazocineExplanation
Pentazocine is the correct answer because it is an opioid analgesic that can increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by an excess of serotonin in the brain. It can occur when certain medications, such as opioids, are taken in combination with drugs that increase serotonin levels, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Pentazocine acts on opioid receptors and can cause an increase in serotonin levels, leading to the development of serotonin syndrome.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
C. SelegilineExplanation
Selegiline is a medication that can increase the risk for serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when there is an excess of serotonin in the body. Selegiline is a selective monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) that can inhibit the breakdown of serotonin, leading to an accumulation of serotonin in the brain. This can result in symptoms such as agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, and in severe cases, seizures or coma. Therefore, taking selegiline along with other medications that increase serotonin levels, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can significantly increase the risk for serotonin syndrome.Rate this question:

Lithium is known to increase the risk for serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when there is an excess of serotonin in the brain. Lithium is commonly used to treat bipolar disorder and can increase serotonin levels. When combined with other drugs that also increase serotonin levels, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), it can lead to serotonin syndrome. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome include agitation, confusion, rapid heart rate, high blood pressure, dilated pupils, and muscle rigidity. Therefore, it is important to monitor patients taking lithium for signs of serotonin syndrome.Rate this question:
