Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Only five drugs have been approved to treat osteoporosis in men, including alendronate, teripara-tide, and zoledronate. Calcitonin has been tried, but without proof of efficacy. Raloxifene is a SERM, used in women only.

Answer to Question 2

C
Gentamicin binds to albumin, but only weakly, and in the presence of another drug that binds to albumin, it can rise to toxic levels in blood serum. A loading dose increases the initial amount of a drug and is used to bring drug levels to the desired plateau more quickly. A drug that is not completely dissolved carries a risk of causing embolism. A drug given at a frequency longer than the drug half-life will likely be at subtherapeutic levels and not at toxic levels.
