The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options contains the maximum number of antacids, we need to identify which of the listed substances are classified as antacids. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Antacids**: Antacids are substances that neutralize stomach acidity. They are commonly used to relieve heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Valium**: This is a brand name for diazepam, which is a benzodiazepine used primarily for anxiety and muscle spasms. It is not an antacid. - **Meprobamate**: This is an anxiolytic medication, not an antacid. - **Ranitidine**: This is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist that reduces stomach acid production. It is used to treat ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), but it is not classified as a traditional antacid. - **Phenelzine**: This is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used to treat depression. It is not an antacid. - **Cimetidine**: This is also a histamine H2-receptor antagonist similar to ranitidine, used to reduce stomach acid. It is not a traditional antacid. - **Omeprazole**: This is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is not a traditional antacid. - **Penicillin**: This is an antibiotic and has no antacid properties. - **Chloramphenicol**: This is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It is not an antacid. - **Chlorpheniramine**: This is an antihistamine used to relieve allergy symptoms. It is not an antacid. 3. **Identifying Antacids**: From the analysis, the substances that are related to reducing stomach acidity are: - Ranitidine - Cimetidine - Omeprazole 4. **Conclusion**: Among the options provided, the substances that can be considered as having antacid properties are Ranitidine, Cimetidine, and Omeprazole. Therefore, the maximum number of antacids in the list is **three**. ### Final Answer: The maximum number of antacids among the given options is **three** (Ranitidine, Cimetidine, and Omeprazole).
To determine which of the given options contains the maximum number of antacids, we need to identify which of the listed substances are classified as antacids. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Antacids**: Antacids are substances that neutralize stomach acidity.

  • Synthetic tranquillisers are mostly barbituric acid derivatives (e.g. veronal, luminal, seconal, amytal and nembutal). Other tranquillisers which are not barbituric acid derivatives are chlordiazepoxide, equanil meprobamate, valium (diazepam), etc. Opium alkaloids such as morphine and codeine are powerful analgesics (reduce pain). Heroin which is morphine diacetate is a widely used narcotic analgesic. Drugs which are used to cure diseases caused by microbes are called antimicrobials. These may be either sulpha drugs such as sulphapyridine, sulphadiazine, sulphaguanidine or they may be antibiotics. Antibiotics such as erythromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol which inhibit or arrest the growth of microbes are called bacteriostatic while others which kill the microbes are called bactericidal antibiotics. Among the following the narcotic analgesic is

    A
    heroin
    B
    ibuprofen
    C
    naproxen
    D
    aspirin
