Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Saw palmetto is an herbal therapy that has been used very successfully for the relief of symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients with BPH should be cautioned not to combine saw palmetto with finasteride because serious toxicity can occur. There is no contraindication in the use of tamsulosin, alfuzosin, and terazosin, which are alpha-adrenergic blockers. Finasteride is a testosterone blocking agent.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Release of ADH causes the kidney to retain water and increase blood volume. Increasing blood volume increases blood pressure.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
