Dose-response data was collected during the testing of drugs A and B. Drug B markedly decreases the efficacy of drug A and even increases the dose of drug A, So, drug B is:a.Non-competitive antagonistb.Partial agonistc.Inverse agonistd.Competitive antagonist

Solution

The description provided suggests that drug B decreases the efficacy of drug A and even requires an increase in the dose of drug A for the same effect. This is characteristic of a competitive antagonist. Competitive antagonists bind to the same site as the drug and compete for this site, thereby reducing the efficacy of the drug and often requiring an increase in the dose of the drug for the same effect. Therefore, drug B is a competitive antagonist (option d).
