Sometimes ovaries release extra eggs.
Explanation:
Birth control or the pill is a pill that's taken on a daily basis and it contains hormones (estrogen and progesterone), in order to change the way the body works and prevent unwanted pregnancies. In this case, the pill controls ovaries and uterus. Most of the pills are mixed pills and work in order to prevent ovulation ( releasing egg during monthly circle ). While on the pill, a woman can't ovulate because there is no egg to be fertilized. It also thickens the mucus around the cervix and makes it difficult for sperm to get to the uterus and <em>reach any extra eggs that may have been released</em>. The hormones in the pill sometimes also affect the lining of the uterus and make it hard for <em>an egg to get attached to the wall of the uterus.</em>

Answer:
c) Whenever heartburn occurs (prn) Q.I.D.
Explanation:
- Antacids are OTC drugs (no prescription needed) used to treat heartburn. They are usually salts (aluminium, calcium or magnesium) that neutralize the excess of acid in the stomach.
- Examples of antacids are: Pepto Bismol (P&G), Maalox (SANOFI) and Tums (GSK)
- There are other types of medications that control heartburn, but they do it through a different mechanism: instead of neutralizing the excess of acid, they inhibit the production of acid in the stomach. These are: PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors) and H2 inhibitors/blockers. These medications have important side effects and interactions, which is why they shouldn't be taken instead of an antacid to relief sporadic heartburn symptoms.
- Ranitidine (Zantac, by SANOFI) is an example of an H2 inhibitor, and Pantoprazole (Protonix, by Pfizer) is an example of a PPI.
- People who present heartburn only from time to time and have no underlying reflux disease are not prescribed PPIs or H2 inhibitors. It is advised that they take antacids after meals when heartburn occurs, but not in a routinely manner and not for more than 2 weeks. If symptoms persist or worsen, clients should see a doctor.
- Diet and lifestyle changes are also recommended for people who present heartburn; these include: avoiding foods that trigger it such as fried and spicy food & carbonated beverages, eating smaller meals, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and avoiding lying down after eating.
