Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Diuresis is an early side effect of acetazolamide that usually subsides with continued treatment. This is because the medication is also a weak diuretic, although it is no longer prescribed for that purpose. Fatigue, headache, and loss of libido are common side effects of therapy, but these may not subside spontaneously.
