Question

drag each drug classification to the description of how it works.
description\tdrug class
blocks receptors that produce gastric acid secretion\tanti infective agents
destroys helicobacter pylori\th₂ - blockers
inhibits gastric acid secretion by coating the stomach lining\tproton pump inhibitors
inhibits the mechanism that produces components needed for gastric acid production\tgastric mucosal agents

Explanation:

• For "Blocks receptors that produce gastric acid secretion", the corresponding drug class is $H_2$-Blockers as $H_2$-blockers work by blocking histamine - 2 receptors which are involved in gastric acid secretion.
• For "Destroys Helicobacter pylori", the corresponding drug class is Antiinfective Agents as antiinfective agents are used to destroy infectious organisms like Helicobacter pylori.
• For "Inhibits gastric acid secretion by coating the stomach lining", the corresponding drug class is Gastric Mucosal Agents as gastric mucosal agents form a protective coating on the stomach lining and inhibit acid secretion.
• For "Inhibits the mechanism that produces components needed for gastric acid production", the corresponding drug class is Proton Pump Inhibitors as proton pump inhibitors inhibit the proton pump mechanism which is essential for gastric acid production.

Answer:

• Blocks receptors that produce gastric acid secretion: $H_2$-Blockers
• Destroys Helicobacter pylori: Antiinfective Agents
• Inhibits gastric acid secretion by coating the stomach lining: Gastric Mucosal Agents
• Inhibits the mechanism that produces components needed for gastric acid production: Proton Pump Inhibitors
