Answer to Question 1

Allopurinol may also cause a gouty attack during the initial treatment phase. This is easily pre-vented by prophylactic use of colchicine.

Vertigo may develop with the use of any of the tetracyclines; however, vertigo is more common with the use of minocycline.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
