Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Labels and advertisements of dietary supplements must contain a statement that the product has not yet been evaluated by the FDA for the treatment, cure, or prevention of disease. Legally, dietary supplements are not required to be safe and effective, and unfounded claims of therapeutic benefits abound. There can be serious adverse effects when taking dietary supplements. Dietary supplements are not fully approved by the FDA or the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Garlic reduces platelet aggregation and should be used with extreme caution in patients receiving platelet inhibitors (e.g., aspirin, ticlopidine, dipyridamole, clopidogrel).
