(metabolic alkalosis)
◉What is meant by synergistic effects of drugs? Antagonistic effects
of drugs?. Answer: Synergism means that the effect of the
combination may be increased much more than expected.
Synergistic can be life threatening causing hemorrhage or coma.
Antagonism means greatly decreased
An interaction between two or more drugs that causes the total

dehydration(1). They have a larger surface area in relation to weight

and the fetus is Rh positive. During first pregnancy there are usually
no problems unless the mother has been exposed to Rh-positive
blood at some prior time through a blood product or abortion. At the
end of the first pregnancy, when the placenta tears during delivery,
some Rh-positive fetal blood enters the maternal circulation,
stimulating the formation of antibodies to Rh-positive cells in the
