Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Potential drug interactions with chamomile include drugs that cause drowsiness like antidepressants. Aloe, garlic, and saw palmetto do not interfere with antidepressants.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Prolonged practice of meditation techniques sometimes reduces the need for antihypertensive, thyroid-regulating, and psychotropic medications (e.g., antidepressants and antianxiety agents). In these cases, adjustment of the medication is necessary. Corticosteroid, loop diuretic, and anticoagulant medications are not affected by meditation.
