Answer to Question 1

D
Tetracyclines may decrease the effects of oral contraceptive pills, so patients should use a backup form of contraception. Headaches are uncommon. Minocycline may be taken with food and is not affected by antacids.

Answer to Question 2

D
When an MAO-B is given, it appears to enhance and prolong the response to levodopa, reducing the wearing-off effect. Carbidopa does not alter this effect. Amantadine is not indicated. Increasing the dose of levodopa is not indicated.
