Which of the following statements is true about medications that are AGONISTS?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B. Medications that are agonists bind to or mimic the receptor activity that endogenous compounds regulate. Agonists activate receptors, producing a physiological response similar to the endogenous compound. This is achieved by binding to the receptor and triggering the same response. Option A is incorrect because it describes medications that are antagonists, which block receptor activity. Option C is incorrect as it refers to medications with limited affinity to receptor sites, which may not necessarily be agonists. Option D is also incorrect as there is a correct option available.
