Answer to Question 1

C
A common and nonharmful side effect of amiloride and other potassium-sparing diuretics is an increase in body hair (hirsutism) in women. It is not necessary to stop taking this drug.

Answer to Question 2

A
Cigarette smoking decreases the effectiveness of clonazepam. Smoking is not a contraindication; however, higher dosages of the drug may be needed for smokers.
