Answer:

"I take cimetidine rather than omeprazole for heartburn'" (Ans D)

Explanation:

Theophylline can cause seizures and life-threatening arrhythmias depending upon a route of administration and dose due to its narrow therapeutic range (10-20 mcg/mL).

The dose can be adjusted based on peak drug levels, obtained 30 minutes after the dose is given. Clients who have oral theophylline should avoid medications such as cimetidine, ciprofloxacin that increase serum theophylline levels and caffeinated products.

Are cats more adaptive to weather than dogs?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The question is generally broad, as there are many different breeds of dogs and cats so comparing the two and the many breeds that had gone through decades of adaptation and breeding makes this a difficult question to answer.

However,

Studies show that cats can tolerate more higher and intense temperatures.

An important note:

<u>adaptation</u> generally means to change oneself in order to survive with the external environment,

<u>toleration</u> is the ability to tolerate or handle the situation or in this case the environment.

Continuing the However

This study brings many stereotypes that all cats can handle the weather while all dogs can't, but then again there are many breeds of the two species.

Cats do have many strategies to keep cool, and they can obtain hyperthermia and illnesses relating to extreme heat.

Cats use the strategies such as conserving their energy, drinking water, constant self-grooming, and finding cooler places allow them to be more adaptative than dogs.  

Cats also have an insulating process within their coats of fur which all dogs may not have (or some other breeds of cats).

In conclusion

Cats do have more adaptative properties than dogs, however, this varies from the amount of different breeds and how different the two species are.
