Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Methyldopa can cause amenorrhea and possibly interfere with fertility. Beta blockers (atenolol) can cause decreased libido, but that would not physically interfere with fertility. Isordil and enalapril do not affect fertility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Parlodel improves the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, both of which help restore ovulation. Increased progesterone released by the corpus luteum supports early pregnancy. Side effects include vomiting, headache, dizziness, and a metallic taste in the mouth, among others. GnRh antagonists such as cetrorelix acetate (Cetrotide) reduce the extent of endometriosis.
