Question

Statement Verification: 1. Methotrexate \(\rightarrow\) Psoriasis. 2. Levothyroxine \(\rightarrow\) Hyperthyroidism.

• A. Both correct
• B. Statement 1 correct; Statement 2 wrong
• C. Statement 1 wrong; Statement 2 correct
• D. Both wrong

Hint:

Remember: "Levothyroxine for Low" (Hypothyroidism). Methotrexate is widely used for both Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriasis due to its anti-proliferative effects.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Check statement 1.
Methotrexate is actually a first-line systemic drug used to treat psoriasis, not a cause of it, so statement 1 is correct
Step 2: Check statement 2.
Levothyroxine is thyroid hormone replacement given for hypothyroidism; excess dosing can push a patient towards hyperthyroid symptoms, but its intended indication is hypothyroidism, making the pairing in statement 2 wrong
Step 3: Combine the verdicts.
One statement holds true and the other does not
\[ \boxed{Statement 1 correct; Statement 2 wrong} \]
