Answer:

The drugs that do not act on receptor site are:

Purines, Antacids , Osmotic diuretics .

Step-by-step explanation:

To say a drug acts by mechanism means that it that the drug is engineered to produce a specific effect on the body by acting on enzymes or receptors.

Receptors are molecules made up of protein and can be found in target cells.

There are a few drugs that do not interact with enzymes or receptors to create the expected results on the body. Examples of the same are given above.

  • Antacids are a category of drugs that act to reduce or remove acidity in the stomach
  • Osmotic diuretics are designed to increase blood concentration and renal filtrate.
