Answer to Question 1

synergism

Rationale: Synergism is a drug action in which the effects of using two drugs together is greater than the sum of the effects of using each one alone; cumulative effect is described as repeated doses of a drug which may build up or accumulate in the body; a side effect is described as toxic effects or undesirable results other than for which the drug was intended; toxicity is described as harmful effects of a drug; and antagonism is the interaction of two or more drugs, causing a change in the expected effect of each drug.

Answer to Question 2

False
