statements is correct? Your answer was correct It has a half life of 5 hours A B It is a precursor to dopamine Correct Answer C 25% of the oral dose reaches the brain D It causes a negative Coombs test. Explanation L-dpoa is an immediate precursor of dopamine. 1-3% enters the brain unaltered, but this number will be higher if given with dopa decarboxylase inhibitor. Concomitant administration of a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (carbidopa) may reduce the daily requirement of levodopa by approximately 75%. L-dopa causes a positive Coombs test. L-dopa has a half life of between 1-3 hours. Question 146 Which of the following statements regarding carbamazepine is correct? Your answer was not correct A Overdose causes seizures. Correct Answer B It is an enzyme inhibitor C It metabolises to non-active metabolites. Your Answer D Sodium valproate increases carbamazepine clearance Explanation
