Question 3. You are a pharmacist and have come across a prescription for simvastatin. Upon checking the patient's current medication list, you see that the patient is also taking erythromycin which is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor. Based on your knowledge of how these drugs are metabolized, explain how drug-drug interaction via enzyme inhibition will affect the steady state and side effects of these drugs in the body.

Can you also answer al these questions please !! Thank you so much I really appreciate it a lot ?
Question 5 Select all statements that are correct. Competitive inhibitors bind to the allosteric site on the enzyme Uncompetitive inhibitors bind to the substrate binding site Competitive inhibitors bind to the substrate binding site Competitive inhibitors are usually of similar size and shape than the substrate of the enzyme Non-competitive inhibitors can bind to the free enzyme but not to the enzyme-substrate complex

Question 2 Interpreting data
Can you please help me answer the following questions. An enzymatic pathway is organized so that the final product will act as a competitive inhibitor to the first enzyme in the pathway. This is an example of: A. denaturation of a substrate enzyme complex B. positive feedback inhibition C. negative feedback inhibition D. competive binding of a product
Question 2 Which of the following is/are true with regard to the therapeutic index and the therapeutic window of a drug (there may be more than one true statement)? Therapeutic index is defined as ED50/TD50. Drugs with a narrow therapeutic window are best suited for minor conditions like headache or muscle pain. Therapeutic window is the dose range that maximizes efficacy at minimum toxicity. Drugs with a wide therapeutic window can be used to treat serious life-threatening diseases. All of the above are correct.
