Question

Which of the following combination of drugs has a dramatic rapid increase in sedative effect?

• A. Alcohol $+$ Antihistamines
• B. Alcohol $+$ Benzodiazepines
• C. Alcohol $+$ Aspirin
• D. Amphetamine $+$ Insulin

Answer 1

The correct option is B Alcohol $+$ Benzodiazepines

Mixing drugs can have numerous detrimental effects. A common method of drug abuse involves mixing benzodiazepines with alcohol. They are abused together because both sedatives like benzodiazepines and alcohol are central nervous system depressants, using them together can cause excessive sedation.

So, the correct option is 'Alcohol + Benzodiazepines'.
