Answer to Question 1

B

A maintenance oral dose of isosorbide dinitrate is 10 to 40 mg every 6 hours. Sublingual dose is 2.5 to 5 mg, sustained release is 40 to 80 mg, and the chewable tablet is 5 mg.

PEG-INTRON, like many of the interferons, is administered subcutaneously. Avonex is given intramuscularly. Interferon alfa n3 is given intralesionally. There are no interferons given orally.
