Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Fatty stools are a notable adverse effect of orlistat. This drug does not reduce appetite. A reduced-fat diet may be of benefit, but it is not necessary to wholly eliminate fats from the diet.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Menotropins (Pergonal) is administered in combination with HCG to induce ovulation. Thyrotropin alfa (Thyrogen) is a synthetic formulation of TSH used as a diagnostic adjunct for serum thyroglobulin. Pegvisomant (Somavert) is a growth hormone receptor antagonist used in the treatment of acromegaly in adults. Somatotropin (Humatrope) is administered to children for impaired growth.
