contraindicated because of its potential for which of the

A. serious adverse reactions
Some drugs are unsafe for patients with certain characteristics or
disorders, or because they eat certain foods or take certain drugs,
because these drugs have the potential to cause serious or life-
threatening adverse effects. Drug tolerance is a decreased
response to a drug over a period of time. Drug dependence is a

Agonists bind with receptor sites on a cell and activate them to
produce a response. In contrast, antagonists block drugs from

that compete with an antagonist for cell receptor sites are called
competitive antagonists. Drugs typically do not destroy the
receptor sites on cells.
