Answer 1

SECTION 1

1. Drug that promotes vomiting - Emitic ( it acts by stimulating the CNS chemoreceptor trigger zone or a combination of both)
2. Drug that produces sleep or a trance-like state   - Hypnotic (Thses are psychoactive drugs whose primary function is to induce sleep and for the treatment of insomnia)
3. Drug that prevents bone loss and osteopenia    - bisphosphonate ( it acts by inhibit osteoclastic bone resorption via a mechanism that differs from that of other antiresorptive agents )
4. Drug that relieves constipation - cathartic (It stimulate intestinal motility via an irritant effect on the mucosa or stimulation of intramural nerve plexi.)
5. Drug that is antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, and antianginal; blocks receptors in blood vessels -beta-blocker ( It acts by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine, also known as adrenaline)
6. Hormone from the adrenal cortex that raises blood sugar and reduces inflammation - glucocorticoid ( It is a corticosteroid hormone that is very effective at reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system)
7. Drug that increases production of urine and thus reduces the volume of blood in the body; lowers blood pressure - diuretic
8. Central nervous system stimulant   -caffeine
9. Drug produced by a plant or microorganism, which has the ability to inhibit or destroy foreign organismsm - antibiotic
10. Drug that blocks the entrance of calcium into heart muscle and lining of blood vessels; antihypertensive, antiarrhythmic, and antianginal drug - Calcium chanel blockers
11. Drug that relieves constipation; strong cathartic and laxative -purgative
12. A mildly hypnotic drug that relaxes without necessarily producing sleep - Sedatives

B.SECTION 2

1. Pertaining to a stupor: NARCOtic (  these are psychoactive compound with sleep-inducing properties, and euphoric properties )
2. Study of drugs: Pharmacology
3. Antibiotic drug produced from a red mold: erythromycin ( This is an antibiotic used to treart respiratory tract infections, skin infections, chlamydia infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, and syphilis)
4. Pertaining to against fever: antipyret ic
5. Pertaining to within the sheath (of the brain and spinal cord): intrathecal ( It is a route of administration for drugs via an injection into the spinal canal, or into the subarachnoid space)
6. Effect of combination of two drugs is greater than each drug alone: synergism ( It is known as an interaction or cooperation giving rise to a whole that is greater than the simple sum of its parts)
7. Treatment using drugs: chemotherapy

c.section 3

1. Pertaining to a drug that is against life (bacterial life): antibiotic ( These are the medicines that fight infections caused by bacteria in humans and animals by either killing the bacteria or making it difficult for the bacteria to grow and multiply.)
2. Pertaining to other than through the intestine: par enteral(Parenteral administration is via a peripheral or central vein.)
3. Pertaining to when the effect of two drugs is greater than either alone: synergistic (interactions occur when the combined effect of two drugs is greater than the sum of each drug's individual activity)
4. A factor that prevents the use of a drug or treatment: contra indication
