Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Fluconazole strongly inhibit the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzyme system in the liver and are associated with many drugdrug interactions, such as increased serum levels of the following agents: cyclosporine, digoxin, oral hypoglycemics, warfarin, oral anticoagulants, and phenytoin. Diphenhydramine, acetaminophen, and hydrochlorothiazide have no impact on fluconazole. There is no indication that humulin insulin, acetaminophen, and hydrochlorothiazide are contraindicated when taking fluconazole.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Schedule I medications have no medical use and are never prescribed. Schedule V medications have the lowest risk for abuse and are found mostly in antitussives and antidiarrheals but they are not sold over the counter.
