Answer to Question 1

C
The most common symptom of a peptic ulcer is burning, gnawing pain caused by stomach acid coming into contact with the open wound (ulcer). It often occurs when the stomach is empty and can be relieved by eating foods that buffer stomach acids or taking a drug that reduces stomach acid such as an antacid.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nevirapine is a nonnucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). The effective-ness of drugs from this class is greatly reduced by the herbal supplement St. John's wort.
