Which of the following medications is considered an anti-infective medication used to treat infections?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA synthesis, thereby killing or stopping the growth of bacteria. Albuterol (A) is a bronchodilator used for asthma, Metformin (C) is an antidiabetic medication, and Warfarin (D) is an anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots. These medications do not have anti-infective properties and are used for different purposes.
