Question

The drug used for the treatment of throat infection is:

• A. quinine
• B. piperazine
• C. sulpha drug like sulphanilamide
• D. isonicotin hydrazide

Hint:

Remember common drug uses:
Quinine → Malaria
Piperazine → Worm infections
Sulpha drugs → Bacterial infections (throat, skin, etc.)
INH → Tuberculosis

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify the type of infection. Throat infections are generally caused by bacterial pathogens such as \textit{Streptococcus} species.
Step 2: Recall the therapeutic use of the given drugs.
Quinine — used in the treatment of malaria.
Piperazine — used as an anthelmintic (for intestinal worms).
Sulpha drugs (e.g., sulphanilamide) — act as antibacterial agents, commonly used in throat and other bacterial infections.
Isonicotin hydrazide (INH) — used in the treatment of tuberculosis.
Step 3: Select the appropriate drug. Since throat infection is bacterial, the suitable drug is a sulpha drug.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{sulpha drug like sulphanilamide}} \]
