Question

Which is NOT used in the treatment of asthma?

• A. \( \text{Budesonide} \)
• B. \( \text{Isoniazid} \)
• C. \( \text{Cromolyn sodium} \)
• D. \( \text{Zafirlukast} \)

Hint:

Asthma treatments aim to reduce airway inflammation and prevent bronchoconstriction.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Isoniazid is a first-line drug for tuberculosis (TB) but is not used for asthma treatment. Asthma is managed using inhaled corticosteroids (budesonide), mast cell stabilizers (cromolyn sodium), and leukotriene receptor antagonists (zafirlukast). TB and asthma affect the lungs differently, requiring distinct therapies.
