Black cohosh, sage, dandelion, and calendula are herbs that may be used to address menopausal symptoms. Saw palmetto is used to relieve the symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, D
Feedback:
Flavoxate, an antispasmodic, is used to relieve symptoms of dysuria, urinary urgency, nocturia, suprapubic pain, and frequency and urge incontinence. Other antispasmodics are used to treat bladder instability, such as leakage caused by a neurogenic bladder. The drug is not used to treat an inability to void.
