I think the answer is B. III only. Tolerance really depends on how we schedule the doses.

Wait, are you saying metoprolol prevents tolerance? That’s new to me.

I thought tolerance was common with isosorbide dinitrate.

I’m leaning towards option B because I think tolerance is mostly about how you take the medication, but I’m not entirely confident.

I feel like we talked about the importance of the administration schedule for nitrates affecting tolerance. That might be key here.

I think we practiced a question about tolerance and beta-blockers, but I can't recall if metoprolol completely prevents it.

I remember discussing nitrate tolerance in class, but I'm not sure if isosorbide dinitrate is really that different from other nitrates.
