Answer to Question 1

D, E, F, G
The macrolides, tetracyclines, sulfonamides, and fluoroquinolones all increase a person's skin sensitivity to sunlight. This can cause a severe sunburn even among people with dark skin who do not usually burn with sun exposure. Patients taking these drugs should avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and use protection when going outdoors in the sun (hats, long sleeves, sunscreen) during the time they are taking the drug and for at least 1 week after stopping the drug.

Answer to Question 2

B
Want 25 mg, Have 50 mg/tablet. 25 mg/50 mg = 1/2 tablet.
