How many tablets will you administer? (Insert the numerical value only)

A. "Limit your fluid intake to meal times.": Fluid restriction is not a standard recommendation for patients taking Verapamil unless they have another condition like heart failure. Adequate hydration is important, especially to counter constipation, a known side effect of the drug.
B. "You can expect swelling of the ankles while taking this medication.": While peripheral edema is a known side effect of Verapamil, it is not something patients should expect or accept without reporting. Significant swelling may require dose adjustment or switching medications.
C. "This medication will not affect your heart rate": Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that slows AV node conduction and reduces heart rate. It is used for conditions like hypertension, angina, and arrhythmias, and can cause bradycardia, especially in high doses.
D. "Increase your daily intake of dietary fiber.": Verapamil frequently causes constipation by decreasing gastrointestinal motility. Increasing dietary fiber, fluid intake, and physical activity are recommended to minimize this side effect and promote regular bowel movements.

A. "Avoid alcohol while taking this medication as it may increase drowsiness.": Baclofen is a central nervous system depressant and can cause sedation. Alcohol can intensify this effect, increasing the risk of severe drowsiness, dizziness, or respiratory depression.
B. "You can abruptly stop taking this medication if you don't notice improvement.": Abrupt discontinuation of Baclofen can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as hallucinations, seizures, and rebound spasticity. The medication should be tapered under medical supervision.
C. "Baclofen doesn't cause drowsiness, so you can continue your normal activities without any restrictions.": Baclofen often causes drowsiness and dizziness, especially when therapy is initiated. Patients should be cautious with activities requiring alertness, such as driving.
D. "Take this medication only when you experience muscle spasms:": Baclofen is typically taken on a regular schedule to maintain therapeutic levels and control muscle spasms continuously. It is not used on an as-needed basis.
