Explanation:
Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication that goes by the brand name Prilosec. Originally sold under the name Losec, the suffix was added to avoid confusion with diuretic medication furosemide's brand name, which is Lasix. Its primary function is lower gastric acid secretion and accumulation within the lumen of the stomach, thereby allowing for duodenal ulcers to heal and symptoms of GERD to diminish. The first few letters in "lower" and "secretion" can yield its name "Losec." Prompt 1 matches Answer C.
Phenergan is the brand name for an antiemetic, sedative, and antihistamine medication known as promethazine. The first syllable "phen-" may be an ode to the initial synthesis of promethazine, as the drug's creators were attempting to improve known antihistamine diphenhydramine. The second syllable "erg-" could be a nod to one of its mechanisms of action, which is producing anticholinergic activity, thereby disrupting, decreasing, and or preventing salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, gastric secretion, and emesis. Prompt 2 matches Answer B.
Protonix is the brand name of PPI medication of generic drug pantoprazole. Its name can be derived from the first word in the acronym PPI, which is "proton." Like omeprazole, the medication binds to proton pumps responsible for gastric secretion and stops the production of stomach acid. Prompt 3 matches Answer E.
Lastly, Zofran is the well-known brand name for antiemetic medication of generic drug ondansetron. The reason behind its nomenclature is not readily available, nor is it easily discernable from its indications, mechanism of action, or its pharmacology (pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics). Prompt 4 matches Answer A.
The matches are 1C, 2B, 3E, and 4A.
