Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Garlic, ginkgo, and feverfew all inhibit platelet aggregation and therefore could increase the risk of bleeding when taken concomitantly with NSAIDs like aspirin and ibuprofen, or with the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin). Patients should be cautioned accordingly. Patients should make sure their doctors know they are taking these herbal products before having surgery or general anesthesia due to the increased risk of intraoperative bleeding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Manufacturers must now use the following statement in their labeling: This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
