Tick the drug of choice for herpes and cytomegalovirus infection treatment:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Acyclovir. Acyclovir is the drug of choice for herpes and cytomegalovirus infections due to its specific antiviral activity against these viruses. It works by inhibiting viral DNA replication. Saquinavir is a protease inhibitor used for HIV, not herpes or cytomegalovirus. Interferon alfa is used for viral infections like hepatitis B and C, not herpes or cytomegalovirus. Didanozine is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used for HIV, not herpes or cytomegalovirus. Therefore, Acyclovir is the correct choice for these infections.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Prazosin. This drug is an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist commonly used to treat hypertension. The adverse effect described is orthostatic hypotension, which is a known side effect of alpha-1 blockers like prazosin. When prazosin blocks alpha-1 receptors in blood vessels, it can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure upon standing up, causing orthostatic hypotension. Propranolol (A) is a beta-blocker, Minoxidil (B) is a vasodilator, and Hydralazine (C) is also a vasodilator, but these drugs do not directly affect alpha-1 receptors and are less likely to cause orthostatic hypotension compared to prazosin.
