Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Ketoconzaole and fluconazole strongly inhibit the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system in the liver and is associated with many drugdrug interactions such as increased serum levels of the following agents: cyclosporine, digoxin, oral hypoglycemics, warfarin, oral anticoagulants, and phenytoin. There is no known drug interaction between cyclosporins and terbinafine, posaconazole, or itraconazole.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
One of the indications for use of the drug imipramine is enuresis in children older than 6 years. Imipramine is not indicated for the treatment of OCD, peripheral neuropathy, or panic disorder.
