Question 25 • VA_Pharmacology_A

What do GABAergic drugs and temazepam have in common?

Answer
A
They inhibit nerve impulses between cells.
B
They are prescribed to treat seizures.
C
They increase acetylcholine levels.
D
They prevent symptoms of palsy.

Explanation

GABA is the brain’s main inhibitory neurotransmitter: it reduces the likelihood that neurons will send impulses. GABAergic drugs enhance or mimic GABA’s effects, and temazepam, a benzodiazepine, strengthens GABA’s inhibitory action. Therefore, both inhibit nerve impulses between cells; they do not increase acetylcholine levels.
