Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Alpha-adrenergic agonists cause mydriasis, which increases sensitivity to light. Beta-adrenergic blockers cause miosis, which impairs vision in the dark. Cholinergic agonists and cholinesterase inhibitors may cause myopia and will impair vision in the dark.

Answer to Question 2

Thanks for the answer, I sent you a forum message for another one.

Answer to Question 3

ANS: C
Mylicon is a brand-name simethicone, which is an anti-gas agent. Maalox Gas contains simethicone, while regular Maalox does not. The other products do not contain simethicone.
