Drug Tissue Storage Sites Match
Match the column:
| TABLE-I (Drug) | TABLE-II (Tissue Storage) |
|---|---|
| 1. Digoxin | (a) Bone/teeth |
| 2. Tetracycline | (b) Adipose tissue |
| 3. Thiopentone | (c) Iris |
| 4. Atropine | (d) RBC |
| 5. Mercury | (e) Heart/Liver/Kidney |
- 1-e, 2-a, 3-b, 4-c, 5-d — Correct Answer
- 1-e, 2-b, 3-a, 4-c, 5-d
- 1-a, 2-e, 3-b, 4-c, 5-d
- 1-e, 2-a, 3-c, 4-b, 5-d
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 1-e, 2-a, 3-b, 4-c, 5-d
- Digoxin (1-e): Stored in Heart, Liver, and Kidney.
- Tetracycline (2-a): Stored in Bone and teeth — causes tooth discolouration (contraindicated in young growing animals and pregnancy).
- Thiopentone (3-b): Stored in Adipose tissue — highly fat-soluble; redistributes to fat leading to short duration of CNS action. Also DDT and ether accumulate in adipose tissue.
- Atropine (4-c): Stored in Iris — explains long-lasting mydriasis after ophthalmic atropine use.
- Mercury (5-d): Stored in RBC. Arsenic is stored in Nail and hair.
Clinical Note
Specific storage sites are important when treating toxicities with these drugs — stored drug can continue to leach out long after administration ceases.
