Of the following medications, which is the only anxiolytic?
  1. Olanzapine
  2. Oxcarbazepine
  3. Chlordiazepoxide
  4. Finasteride
Explanation
Answer: C - Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) is a benzodiazepine anxiolytic which binds to GABA receptors, potentiating its effects. Finasteride (Proscar, Propecia, Fincar, Finpecia, Finax, Finast, Finara, Finalo, Prosteride, Gefina, Appecia) is an androgen inhibitor used in BPH and male-pattern baldness. Oxcarbazepine (Oxetol) is a mood stabilizer and anti-convulsant and blocks voltage sensitive sodium channels. Olanzapine (Zyprexa, Zyprexa Zydis, Zalasta, Zolafren, Olzapin, Rexapin) is an atypical antipsychotic and is thought to be an antagonist for dopamine and serotonin receptors.
