Answer to Question 1

B
The FDAAA was passed to enable the Food and Drug Administration to continue oversight of a drug after granting it approval so that changes in labeling could be made as necessary and post-marketing risks could be tracked and identified. A provision of the FDA Modernization Act (FDAMA), passed in 1997, allows drug companies to promote their products for off-label uses as long as they promise to conduct studies to support their claims. Regulations to permit accelerated approval of drugs for life-threatening diseases were adopted in 1992 by the FDA. The require-ment that drug companies notify patients 6 months before removing a drug from the market is a provision of the FDAMA.

Answer to Question 2

A
Local anesthetics can cross the placenta, causing bradycardia and central nervous system (CNS) depression in the infant. They do not affect blood glucose. Jitteriness is a sign of CNS excitation. Increased respirations are not an adverse effect in the newborn.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
