Q1. A 52-year-old man of White British origin is newly diagnosed with hypertension (stage 1). He has no other past medical history. According to NICE guidelines, which of the following is the most appropriate first-line treatment?

A. Amlodipine
B. Ramipril
C. Indapamide
D. Bisoprolol

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Ramipril

For patients under 55 who are not of Black African or African-Caribbean family origin, an ACE inhibitor (like ramipril) is the recommended first-line agent for hypertension.

Q2. A 28-year-old woman, stabilised on carbamazepine for focal seizures, is seeking a reliable method of contraception. Which of the following is the most appropriate advice?

A. The combined oral contraceptive pill is a suitable first-line option.
B. The progestogen-only pill is unaffected and can be recommended.
C. An intrauterine device (IUD) or depot injection is recommended as hormonal methods can be less effective.
D. She should double the dose of her emergency hormonal contraception if needed.

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: C. An intrauterine device (IUD) or depot injection is recommended as hormonal methods can be less effective.

Carbamazepine is a potent enzyme inducer, which can significantly reduce the efficacy of oral hormonal contraceptives. Methods unaffected by enzyme inducers, such as the copper IUD or depot medroxyprogesterone acetate injection, are preferred.

Q3. A patient is being initiated on rifampicin as part of their treatment for tuberculosis. They are also taking warfarin. What is the expected interaction and necessary action?

A. Rifampicin inhibits warfarin metabolism, so the warfarin dose should be reduced.
B. Rifampicin induces warfarin metabolism, so the INR should be monitored closely and warfarin dose increased.
C. Warfarin is contraindicated with rifampicin and must be switched to apixaban.
D. There is no significant interaction between rifampicin and warfarin.

Show answer & explanation

✓ Answer: B. Rifampicin induces warfarin metabolism, so the INR should be monitored closely and warfarin dose increased.

Rifampicin is a potent enzyme inducer (CYP2C9), which significantly increases the metabolism of warfarin, reducing its effect. The INR must be monitored frequently and the warfarin dose will likely need to be increased.
