6. Relates to the mechanism of action of medicines
12. Drug A is administered to a person that acts on a particular receptor. Unfortunately, it is given in overdose. Drug B is then administered, which blocks that receptor. The effects of drug B result in a reduction of the effect of drug A. Drug A is acting how?
