Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Patients taking aloe vera should consult with their provider if taking cardiac medications or diuretics. It is for internal and external use. Side effects are rare except with long-term use or in large doses. Aloe vera can increase menstrual flow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Black cohosh may increase the action of antihypertensive medications. It should not be used longer than 6 months. It may decrease iron absorption, contributing to iron deficiency. Black cohosh suppresses luteinizing hormone and optimizes estrogen levels.
