Rationale 3: Paroxeline CR (Paxil CR) is a selective serotonin inhibitor and has been found to be effective in controlling PMDD.
Rationale 4: Hyoscyamine (Anaspaz) is an anticholinergic and is not used to control the symptoms of PMDD.
Rationale 5: Promethazine (Phenergan) is a phenothiazine used as an antiemetic and is not used to control the symptoms of PMDD.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Japanese people have a very low rate of PKU disease; it is most common among northern Europeans.
Rationale 2: PKU is the inability to metabolize phenylalanine, an amino acid found in most dietary protein sources. High phenylalanine levels cause brain damage and severe neurologic abnormalities.
Rationale 3: Galactosemia is the disease that is a carbohydrate metabolism problem.
Rationale 4: Congenital hypothyroidism is the disorder of low thyroid function at birth.
