Which amongst the following is used in controlling depression and hypetension?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. 1. **Understand the drug classes involved**: The question asks about a drug that helps control both depression and hypertension, which points toward a **tranquilizer**.

2. **Recall the function of Equanil**: Equanil (Meprobamate) is a well-known tranquilizer that is used to relieve anxiety and is also used in controlling depression and hypertension.

3. **Rule out the other options**: Seldane is an antihistamine, Valium (a benzodiazepine) is mainly an anti-anxiety tranquilizer, and Prontosil is an antibacterial sulpha drug — none of these are described for controlling depression and hypertension together.

Hence, the answer is **C. Equanil**.
